1.

In discussing the paragraph 3 requirement in

reference A for names of the Chiefs and Deputy Chiefs of

the 6 Research Section in 1960-62 with one of the former

Deputy Branch Chiefs of SR-6, we were made aware of the fact

that SR-6 had a Section called the Research Section which

later was

called the Operational Support Section.

We had been

under the impression that the HSCA was interested in the

identities of the Chiefs and Deputy Chiefs of SR-6, which was

provided under reference C.

2.. As nearly as we can determine at this time, the

Research Section of SR-6 had no Chief or Deputy in 1960.

Mr. Rudolph Balaban was made Section Chief from September

1961-62.

Mr. Balaban resigned in 1970 and we have no

address. He had been

assigned

to the Section from August

1960 to April 1964.
