HW 54545 May 12, 1976 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD Subject: Coordination with National Security Council staff concerning reference service to the Senate Select Committee After both letters from William G. Miller of the Senate Select Committee staff had been received and Charles Corkran had estimated the quantities of classified records that might be examined under this research request, I made further efforts to contact Mr. John Matheny for White House clear- anée to grant access to the Senate Select Committee researcher, Mr. James Johnston. Matheny referred the question to Jeanne Davis of the NSC staff who appar- ently asked Steve Skancke to make contact with me. In describing the problem to Steve Skancke I stated that the research request involved three topics: (1) the assassination of JFK, (2) assassination attempts on Castro, and (3) assassination plots on other foreign leaders. I stated to Skancke that clearly the third subject was too vague to respond to. With respect to the first two subjects, I reported, the materials that would be made available to the researcher amount to 20,800 pages or 3,500 documents. Of this total we estimate that approximately 40 percent are classified and these include materials from State, DOD, CIA, FBI, Secret Service, NSC, and other White House originated. Therefore, I said, we are talking in the neighborhood of 1,800 classified documents. Steve asked me what were the ground rules. I stated that in earlier requests of this kind coordinated with James Wilderotter we had granted access to the committee staff researchers and had then filtered any requested copies of classified documents through this office to Wilderotter for review before presentation to the committee. Skancke stated that such a procedure is acceptable under the current request. He further stated that should the researcher attempt access.to materials beyond these two topics the NSC staff would like to be consulted before access is granted. On this basis I responded to Skancke that I would proceed to contact both the Johnson Library and Mr. Johnston to go forward with the research. RICHARD A. / JACOBS { f U/ Doclda: 32273625 Page 2?
