104-10066-10252) . a) * i we 4 - CONFIDENTIAL * 49 PH 78 11 April 1978 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: HSCA and 1977 Task Force Report 1. Yesterday Rodger Gabrielson of OLC phoned me about pass- a ing Tab F of the 1977 report to the HSCA, for use in questioning i of Anne Goodpasture, on whose research most of it is based. I stated categorically that I was opposed to letting that section out of the building; it is replete with operational detail, in , . ich it contains reference to involvement of @_former } eee ano cooperated with us prior to his attaining that — i position. pointed out that it had been deleted from the sani- tized version in its entirety, while a selected few of the HSCA Staff had been permitted to see it at the Headquarters building. 2. [| told Gabrielson that, nevertheless, the material in this portion of the 1977 report was DDO material and he would have to clear it with SA/DDO in any event. He said he would speak — . ’ . with Don Gregg. I asked that he spell out my reservations. about it. He said he would and that he would call me back. 3. Not having heard from Gabrielson I eventually phoned Gregg. He had spoken with Gabrielson and had agreed for the section in question to be delivered to the HSCA on a read-and-return basis. I repeated to him the reservations I had; he said Gabrielson had not mentioned them to him (Gregg has not read the report, so is unfamiliar with its contents). I told him the story of how the | ' 1G 1967 report on Castro (unsanitized) was lent.to the Church : Committee for 24 hours, and was copied; I predicted this would i suffer the same fate. 1 repeated the description of the kinds of - a materials in the report, stating that it should not be permitted out of Agency control; once Blakey disbands his group, and his discipline and control is lost, we can expect to see it in the press. Gregg asked if having the paper in CIA hands, with a CIA observer at the Goospasture questioning, would suffice. I said. that under the circumstances it would have to do. oy TI. Mw COU S. D.

14-00000 _and gun- running. Jack N. Rogers oe Relationship to Case Baton Rouge attorney, committee counsel for Joint Legislative Committee on Un-American Activities of. the State of Louisiana. | Has been in touch with Garrison and his ‘staff. William Wayne Relationship t to’ Case - Gordon Duane ‘Novel told the FBI on 6 May 1967 that Dalzell had been in touch with the FBI and with CIA, according to Dalzell's former landlady, and that Garrison was . interested in Dalzell. FBI files link Dalzell to charges of trans- porting stolen property. fraud, ? Facts re CIA Has been a source of the DCS office in New Orleans since September 1959. Dalzell ‘Facts re CIA ° Dalzell was in touch with the New Orleans office of the DCS on 15 November 1960, 20 January 1961, and 1 February 1961, in connection with his proposals for a Radio Free Cuba. There were no subsequent DCS contacts. There have been no DD/P contacts. Sehlumberges Well Surveying Corporation Relationship to Case Garrison has charged that Gordon Novel, Sergio Arcacha Smith, and others robbed a munitions bunker at Houma, Louisiana, Gordon Novel has stated that the munitions in the bunker belonged ‘to the Schlumberger Corporation and that he and others removed the contents of the bunker in August 1961 at the instigation of . CIA. - | Facts re CIA The New Orleans office of . the DCS had one contact with Charles A. Doh, manager of the Schlumberger office in New - Orleans, in June 1955. There im has been occasional but circum- spect contact with the main Schlumberger office, in Houston, for an extended but unspecified period. Such contact continues.
14-00000 7. The proklem arising from Garrison's charges of Agency involvement in the assassination is compounded by the nature of , some of our former Cuban operations, which resulted in a form of indirect.association. For example, Garrison has sought without success to extradite Sergio ARCACHA Smith from Dallas. FBI reporting of 28 March 1967 stated that according to Layton Patrick Martens, Garrison will try to prove that Arcacha was the "second trigger man" in the assassination. The checks run by WH/COG and CI/R&A have not shown any link between Arcacha and CIA. However, WH/COG has reported that Arcacha was the delegate of the Frente Revolucionario Democratico. (FRD) in New Orleans before the Bay of Pigs, that he maintained regular postal contact with FRD headquarters in Miami, that the’ FRD and the Cuban Revolutionary Council were supported by CIA, and that funds were supplied to the head of these groups, Dr. Jose MIRO ‘Cardona.. Consequently Arcacha may have believed that his ' activities in New Orleans were ClA-supported. This phenomenon of indirect association appears in other cases as well and may well underlie - some of Garrison's accusations. ' “ tt is. suggested that G/WH or his representative might profitably query Mr. Thomas about the allegations summarized in , paragraph 1, above.. Although the date for the trial of Clay Shaw has . not been: set,- itis plainly drawing closer. Once it starts, the newspapers will carry a flood of accusations, — old and new; and it would be @ judicious to be prepared in advance. .
