Rhoads Archivist of the United States National Archives and Records Service Eighth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. 20408 Dear Dr. Rhoads: As the Select Committee proceeds with its investigation of paramilitary operations--in particular in Laos--it finds that it needs to review minutes (or memoranda of conversation) from meetings of National Security Council bodies. conducted during the Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, as well as notes, .memos, studies.) and other materials on this subject lodged in the Presidential libraries. Members of the Committee staff have been in touch with Dr. Reed of your staff, who indicated that NSC material should fall within the "section 11" category for White House documents--that is, docu- ments to which the Archives can grant access on its own authority. Dr. Reed did indicate that you would, of course, consult with the White House; that should be no problem given the understanding the Committee has with the White House about access to documents neces- sary to our-inquiry. . Our contact point at the White House is Mr. James Wilderotter (4pe- 7094), who should.be able to provide the necessary clearance. x Members of the Committee staff have been or will be contacting the three libraries notifying them of our need to review these mater- jials. We understand that an oral assurance from you that the clear- ance has been obtained will suffice. At this time, we are interested in reviewing documents pertaining to paramilitary operations in general and to Laos in particular for the period mid-1950's through the 1960's. Members of the Committee staff who will be reviewing these docu- ments are (with the security clearances each possesses): Doclda: 32273737 Page 4
Alan Romberg (TS/SI/TK/B) William Trueheart (TS/SI/TK/B) Dorothy C. Dillon (TS/S1I/TK/B) Due to requirements of preparing background materials as quickly as possible, it would be helpful if the staff members could review the NSC materials later this week. We would appreciate your ssisting in such expedition. : oS Sincerely yours, Pata fj). 4 cderick A.O. Schwarz, Jr. copy to The Honorable James A.
