Robert Blakey Chief Counsel and Director Select Committee on Assassinations House of Representatives : Washington, D.C. 20515 3 f Dear Bob: 4 Herewith our comments on the reprise (or redoublement d'attaque) on the "implications" paper on anti~Castro plotting. We won't repeat comments on the unchanged errors in the earlier version (some of which were errors, not contested presentation). Nor will we address new substantive additions at this time. As we are at the end (and from what we have been told, this is the last end before final submission for the formal security review) our future comments to you will be limited to security matters. fo Table of Contents.

As you mentioned to us on 20 March that those we had not seen would not present a problem, I am concerned that your people may have overlooked things that would strike us differently. It would be unfortunate if some oversight in processing the material resulted in unexpected difficulties at the last minute. You should take steps to avoid such a possibility. We stand ready to review these. Sincerely, 8. D. Bkeckxhridge bs ‘ Principal €gordinator, HSCA /
