Patrick Carpentier ‘April 5, Page 2 1978 s 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 inguirv because the CIA's written statement did not focus on the relevant time. period. Accordingly, I am renewing our “equest of February 21, 1978. in the event that there were no criteria governing the opening of such files during that period, the Committee would aporeciate a written statement indicating that this was the case. CIA “document #563-810 indicates that there are 37 docu | ments that should ba 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 ag part of document #562~810, but no such Listing appears in the file. ‘The Select Committees on Assassinations requests that th. ‘CIA provide a listing of such documents as well as a written explanation of where those documents are lo- caced and why they do not appear in Sswald’s 201 File. Pursuant to my letter of December 27, A377, I would like. to note that the document referred to an this paragraph is a classified document. p~fter having reviewed both the documents contained in the CiA's files on Priscilla. Johnson McMillan and th materials. that were independently mada evailable to her under the Privacy Act, it is apparent that the files which were made available to the Commit:ee did not in- my .. Clude HTLINGUAL materials. As the Committee has already reguested ali information contained in your files on the individuals who are the susjects of our requests, please review the files that you have pre- viously made available to us for the curpose of ensur-. ing that all of the information pertaining to the individuals involved has, in fact, been nrovided.
