404-10146-101101 OLC 79-0113/24 20 March 1979 ; - MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: Discussions with G. Robert Blakey, Chief Counsel and Director, HSCA 1. Messrs. William Sturbitts, DDO/LA;(Dale Sumption} DDO/SE; Julian Fox, CI Staff; Jack Sullivan, 0S; Russ Holmes, and I met with Mr. Blakey this morning to discuss substantive issues in the final HSCA Committee Report. 2. I don't think we made many points although Mr. Blakey - acknowledged our presentation in some instances. It is clear that Mr. Blakey intends to cite the testimony of former employee Wilcott about what he did in Japan (we had discussed this previously and achieved some compromises from a security point of view, but clearly did not prevail in obtaining deletions about Wilcott's distribution of funding operations in Japan; there is no mention o ‘We also appeared to have no success in persuading Mr. Blakey to delete a summary of what the Cubans told the Committee about CIA photographic surveillance in Mexico City in 1963. 3. We have already received and commented on two drafts of sections of the report that have been received after we had been told that we have seen all the drafts. We now have yet an additional two drafts, with yet another on the way. It.is hoped that these will affect the Agency but marginally and that the reviews can be completed without a major effort. If there are no more than these three last sections, this phase should be over, so far as CIA is concerned. 4. We discussed with Mr. Blakey whether the Agency should make a comment on the Nosenko paper. The paper is a sort of rambling, on-one-hand- but-on-the-other-hand type of discussion. It. may prove useful for the Agency to write a memorandum to the Committee summarizina what it considers to be the key issues on the subject. 5. Blakey described his production problem. He will have page proofs of the report printed at GPO. He states that he has met every request of ours on security matters and considers the drafts to be unclassified. They will be handled in that way by GPO. When he receives 22497 coor  JIPIO vesrenieMectp 174s Te Ee mR cern een rm
14-00000 the proofs, he will review and edit them. Around 15 April we can ~ expect to receive the formal submission for Agency approval or expression of security reservations within the agreed five-day period. 6. I, personally, expect my work in the current phase to end with the comments which we will submit on these last three draft sections of the report. I am not sure when my. contract expires, but I think that it must be about the time that the five-day countdown commences. I would wish to prepare final comments on the final report for such use as the Agency may care to make of them. This should not take long to do so.

Barney Hidalgo, when interviewed yesterday, raised the possibility that the composite sketch shown him by HSCA representatives as "Maurice Bishop" may have looked somewhat like a former chief of his, Willard Galbraith. Hidalgo believes that Galbraith is now deceased. 2. The Office of Personnel file on Galbraith shows his date of birth as 1906. He was an FSO from 1929 until he joined CIA in 1952. He retired from CIA in February 1962. 3. During the period that Galbraith might have been involved in anything--if he was--associated with Cuban operations, etc., his assignments been inf ron 1957 to 1959, an 6-32 from 19 retired in February 1 : ars — to have retired to Los Angeles, the address from which his early retirement letters originated. 4. While the OPF did not contain a photograph of Mr. Galbraith he is not likely to have been engaged in whatever activities a man using the name of Maurice Bishop is alleged to have been in during 1963.

I now believe I have taken out the worst aspect of the reference of the word truthfully by placing the sentence in the last paragraph, In my mind then I can tie the language to those individuals covered by the letter who might think that they are under a secrecy agreement but actually are not and never had a relationship with us. I also then see it as the quid for the third paragraph as making clear that individuals covered by secrecy agreements who seek our guidance in responding on sensitive areas will do just that and not use this discretion to mislead, I am willing to recommend approval on that basis if it is okay with you.
