LIAISON Julie Wetzel, NSA, called to advise us that a letter was coming over from NSA to Lyle Miller, Acting Legislatiye,,Cownsel, on the subject of the leak of NSA's ability to read|| _lfinionatic traffic. She said that the letter states ta SA has no objection to the Director's provision of NSA's damage assessment to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The letter goes on to state that NSA does not feel that it would be appropriate to reveal the names of Corigressmen and staff who are aware of NSA's capability to read\[ | diplomatic traffic inasmuch as the Attorney General is sStigating the leak. 8.

I asked HSCA whether it was intended that any CIA (current or ex) employees other than those mentioned by Blakey yesterday evening would be called to testify. Those mentioned were Messrs. Helms, Hart and the DCI. The answer is that more are expected to be called, but the names were not yet available. Gary Cornwell is to be back to me in the near future on this. I pointed out that the Agency's waiver to employees on speaking to the Committee did not extend to public testimony on classified matters and it was important that this be addressed soon. 2. I had also asked if we should continue preparing written answers to earlier questions concerning Nosenko, given the anticipated interrogatories from the Committee next week. He said no. He added that if someone is "reading" in preparation for those answers they should continue, but the new questions ould be more specific.

Defection as a Psychological Phenomenon Misinterpretation of Nosenko's reactions will be covered within the context of failure to under- stand the stresses to which he was subjected as a defector. It. 1962 Contacts Factors leading to an inaccurate record during the 1962 meetings will be covered. IfI. The Role of Mr. X The influence of another defector -- to be referred to only as Mr. X -- will be indicated as resulting in misinterpretation of many of Nosenko! s statements. , IV. Confinement of Nosenko Details of the confinement will be outlined as they relate to possible misinterpretation of his statements under questioning during the period up to his being reassigned to the custody of the CIA Office of Security. The entire presentation will be about 30 pages in length when reduced to final written form. Mr. Hart's presentation will not specifically address the question of Nosenko's statements regarding Lee Harvey Oswald. Mr. Hart, in studying the Nosenko case, deliberately disregarded the Oswald aspect of the case inasmuch as it had by and large been handled by the FBI. Mr. Hart will argue that, inasmuch as Nosenko is a bona fide defector, his statements regarding Lee Harvey Oswald should be accepted as having been given in good faith and to the best of his knowledge. 2PO¢S >
