In addition, please provide the Committee with access to the following information: 5) 6) Any and all investigative reports prepared by E. Howard Hunt pertaining to the John F. Kennedy assas- Sination. ‘(These reports were not necessarily pre- pared during the period of Mr. Hunt's employment with the CIA). The file that was prepared by the CIA in reference to E. Howard Hunt's alleged Watergate-related activities. The Committee previously requested access to all CIA files pertaining to E. Howard Hunt in its letter to you of January 6, 1978. However, Roger Gabrielson, of your staff, has requested that the particular requests identified above, be put in writing. The Committee would also appreciate a response from the CIA regarding the following matters: HW 53060 Docld:32272774 Page 2?
HW 53060 ‘Mr. Patrick Carpentier April 5, Page 2 7) 8) 9) 1978 The CIA's written statement replying to the Committee's request of February 21, 1978 for an explanation of the criteria that governed the opening of a 201 file dur- ing the years 1958-64 was not responsive to our inquiry because the CIA's written statement did not focus on the relevant time period. Accordingly, I am renewing our request of February 21, 1978. In the event that there were no criteria governing the opening of such files during that period, the Committee would appreciate a written statement indicating that this was the case. CIA document #563-810 indicates that there are 37 docu- ments that should be in Lee Harvey Oswald's 201 file but which are missing from the file. Furthermore, this document also indicates that there should be a machine listing of these documents attached as part of document #563-810, but no such listing appears in the file. The Select Committee on Assassinations requests that the CIA provide a listing of such documents as well as a written explanation of where those documents are lo- cated and why they do not appear in Oswald's 201 file. Pursuant to my letter of December 27, 1977, I would like to note that the document referred to in this paragraph is a classified document. After having reviewed both the documents contained in the CIA's files on Priscilla Johnson McMillan and the materials that were independently made available to her under the Privacy Act, it is apparent that the files which were made available to the Committee did not in- -*@lude HTLINGUAL materials. As the Committee has already requested alliinformation contained in your files on the individuals who are the subjects of our requests, please review the files that you have pre- viously made available to us for the purpose of ensur- ing that all of the information pertaining to the individuals involved has, in fact, been provided. Finally, the Committee would like to interview all persons who served as case officers in the Soviet Russian Division of the CIA's Tokyo Station for the period 1963 through February 1964, as well as the Chief(s) of Station and Deputy Chief(s) of Station for that period. The Committee requests that the CIA Doclda: 32272774 Page 3
