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. coooyi thief, 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. x Z, | por %, por
