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-

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.

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.

Dear DI. Rhoads:

Mr. Johnston of the Committee's staff has talked with Mr.

Corkran

at the Lyndon B. Johnson library in Austin, Texas,

garding the material Mr. Johnston would like to review.

Corkran

suggested that we provide you with a more specific de-

scription of the material to assist you in obtaining White

House clearance for our access.

As Mr. Johnston told Mr. Corkran, he is interested in re-

viewing records relating to contact between the intelligence

agencies,

especially CIA and FBI, and the White House concern-

1ng President Kennedy's assassination or Cuban matters between

November 22, 1963, and January 31, 1964.

In addition, he wishes

to review records

relating to contact between the CIA

and FBI

and the White House concerning Cuban matters, the assassination

of President Kennedy, or assassination plots

against foreign

leaders

between February I and May 31, 1967.

We appreciate your assistance in this matter and desire to

obtain access to this material as soon as the necessary arrange-

ments can be

made.

Sincerely,

Willemorill

Mr. William G. Miller

Senate Select Committee

Dear Mr. Miller:

I have your letter of April 13, 1976 indicating a plan to send two

members of the committee staff, Mr. James Johnson and Mr. Dan Dwyer,

to the Lyndon B. Johnson Library to undertake research in certain

matters relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Your staff members should contact Mr. Charles Corkran, Assistant Director

of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library, to discuss

in more specific terms

the quantities and subject relevance of materials in the Library

and any further specific requirements for gaining access.

I presume

that some of these materials are already open for research while

others remain closed because of security classification or donor restriction.

Your staff members may have access to the classified materials, but we

will require further coordination before permitting classified materials

to be copied and released to the committee.

If materials subject to donor

restrictions are encountered among materials to which you seek access,

your staff will be unable to use the

materials

unless

those restrictions

can be waived.

Sincerely,

JBR
