Cognizant elements of the Department of Defense have made a thorough and detailed search in an attempt to find records which might relate to the matters as’ recently discussed between you and Ms. Miller of my office.

The search efforts described above revealed no information relevant to your request. Sincerely, . JOHN G. KESTER
“ pee ae = ny at Doc ID: 6598293 Serial: D1L/LAO-047M-78 cc: D1 D9 M/R: On 8 November, Mr. Robert G.. Blakey, Chief Counsel and Staff Director for the House Select Committee on Assassinations, posed a number of questions to NSA regarding a former Air Force enlisted man's allegation that he had intercepted © information linking an assassination plot against President Kennedy with a figure in organized crime. Mr. Blakey subsequently submitted a written request (dated 15 November) to Support his verbal one. “In essense, the questions probed NSA's ability to quickly and thoroughly probe for records from the Air Force site in Kirknewton, Scotland (USA-55, now closed), for information relating to the allegation. G809 and N33 personnel reviewed both a listing of data and boxed records from USA-55, but their efforts failed to reveal evidence of the alleged incident. The actual traffic from this period was minimal and no other RSIS are extant. The Director has approved. 4 area ) _21Nov78, lir
