Rhoads Archivist of the United States National Archives and Records Service Room 111, Archives Building 7th and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20408 Dear Dr. Rhoads: In the course of preparing their report, the staff of the Commission on CIA Activities Within the United States has indicated a need to have access to CIA material either located in or designated for storage in Presidential Libraries. As you are undoubtedly aware, a good deal of this material is maintained on a segregated basis at CIA's Archives and Records Center. Other material is actually located in the libraries under your custody. The matter of access to these documents has been raised with Mr. Colby and he has requested that I ask you to make whatever arrangements are necessary to permit access to any CIA material in the Presidential Library system upon the re- quest of Mr. David W. Belin, Executive Director of the Com- mission staff or by any other staff member designated by him. It is our desire that such access be permitted regardless of classification of the documents and in any manner that would be consistent with your procedures. If it would be helpful to you, I would be pleased to assist in facilitating arrange- ments between the Commission staff and whomever you designate to work on this matter. Sincerely, John F. Blake Deputy Director for Administration HW 54545 DBocld:322735657 Page 6
