I don't think we made. many soints although Mr. Blakey - acknowledged our presentation in some instances. It is clear that Mr.. ‘Blakey intends to cite the testimony of former employee Wilcott about - what he did in Japan (we had discussed this previously and achieved some compromises from a security point of view, but clearly did not operations in Japan; there is no mention of| ‘We also © appeared to have no success in persuading Mr. Blakey to alete a summary of what the Cubans told the Committee about CIA photographic s surveillance - ' in Mexico City in 1963. a 3. We have: already received and: commented ‘on two drafts of sections of the report that have. been received after we had been told that we have seen all the drafts. We now have yet an additional two drafts, with - yet another:on the way.. It is hoped that .these will affect the Agency but. = marginally and that the reviews can be. completed without a major effort. If there are no-more than these. three last sections, this phase Should be over, so far as CIA is concerned. 4.- We discussed with Mr. Blakey. whether ‘the Agency should make a. -comment on the Nosenko paper. The paper is a sort of rambling, on-one-hand-_ but-on-the-other-hand type of discussion. It may prove useful for the ‘Agency to write a memorandum to the Committee summarizing A what ‘it considers to be the key issues on the subject. 5. Blakey described his production problem.

Around 15 April we can - “expect to receive the formal submission for Agency approval or _ expression of security reservations within the agreed five-day. period. 6. I, personally, expect my work in the current phase ‘to end = with the comments which we will submit on these last three draft sections of the report. I am not sure when my contract expires, but I thtnk that -it must be about the time that the five-day countdown commences. I would wish to prepare final comments on the final report for such use as the | Agency may care to make of them. This should not take long to do so. Mr. Holmes and I should be through with our work on everything but the | last bit either the end of this week or early next week. . s, D.
