SENSITIVE MEMORANDUM TO: FILES | | Ke, cROM: ~~ - ELLIOT MAXWELL, BILL BADER. NS DATE: APRIL 10, 1975 SS SUBJECT: VISIT TO THE CIA AGENCY, LANGLEY LS? | APRIL 10, 1975 | ES Bill Bader and Elliot Maxwell were at the Central Intelligence Agency from roughly 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on April 10, 1975. While there we met with John Clarke, Harriet Mowitt, Lyle Miller of the Office of the General Counsel, and Lewis Elder, historian for the CIA. ‘ We reviewed with Lewis Elder a list of historical studies now in his custody. Attached is a list of the historical studies and other materials which we requested pursuant to our agreement with John Clarke that requests made while at the Agency would be treated as formal requests of the Committee. | It did not seem profitable to ask that the Agency provide all of the historical studies which were listed. We chose works because they dealt with either an overview of the Agency, or a particular Directorate, or they provided inform- ation about policies and practices with which the Committee may be concerned. Some reliance was placed on Mr. Elder's suggestions as to the quality of the work and the value of the information which it provided. Elder cautioned us to be somewhat sceptical about a number of the studies, as the CIA HAS NO OBJECTION TO RELEASE DMO AND/OR HIS DO AS SANITIZED CUMENT HW 50955 Docld:32203938 Page 2 . 6 2-7-%¢
~ nged from professional historians to station chiefs sors ra g 3 ality varied from very good to awful. We reserved e right to ask for other studies later. These include the ae a io {pLowiNE * . e. oF 1. A 17- -volume history of the office of Special Activities, - (the U-2 project). - | 2. A study of personnel records and. reports. | &, 3, A study of security programs of the CIA: the Domestic 7 Field Office. . k b 4. A study of Western European operations directed against | | Cuba. - . i 5, A history of Cuban refugee exploitation. It is not clear how soon we will receive the material, or if we will receive it at all. Elder suggested that there were pstantial third-agency questions involved; for instance, the study of the U- 2 would require approval from numerous govern- ment agencies as well as seventeen foreign governments. Elliot also met with Lyle Miller of the General Counsel's staff about the material provided in response to the Committee's ‘request for comments on. proposed legislation. The material i. provided included comments on legislation proposed in.1974, plus a ‘comment on PL 90-331, which allows the Director of the Secret Service to request support from other agencies of the Government. Elliot indicated to Mr. Miller that the Lack of 7 ; n other legislation in other years was unacceptable. material o
FILES ad The. following files are requested. In order to expedite their location, the Committee has indicated offices which appear to be the best starting point for a search. This does not limit, nor supersede the general guideline that all files throughout the CIA relating to a project be procured.

In the first instance, all of the specified material will be reviewed in unsanitized form by staff at CIA headquarters. The Committee will continue to select particular documents to ia | be transmitted to the Committee's offices in Washington to be used in preparing for hearings and the Committee's report. I.
