The information to which the Committee staff needs access and which is held by the National Security Agency is all outlines and summaries and biographical data relating to the Cuban Intelligence network of Premier Castro covering the period from 1959 - December 31, 1964 with emphasis on operations by Cuban Intelligence operatives in the United States and other Latin American countries, and any analyses of the direction and evaluation of specific assassination operations. In addition, the Committee requests that it be provided access to any other materials you have relevant to the assassination of President Kennedy or any investigation into the assassination. Access to all materials we will receive from the National Security Agency will be restricted to staff members with a TOP SECRET Security clearance.

Doc ID. esogsaphief, Congressig@@ Activities 22 December 1976 Mr. Burke, Attached is a request from the SSCI. I have talked to Fred Cassedy at the FBI and he says that the Committee is looking into the Kennedy assassination and that the SSC provided Veciana's name. I intend to contact Howard Liebengood next week and will probably arrange for the SSCI to review the document out here at that time. 44USC2107(5)(g)(2)(D) b(v) |_| f John PO pet A, pot
