Dear Mr. Breckinridge:

June 1978 and 8 June 1978 that the Central Intelligence Agency

make available for review by Committee

staff members all files

and index references to the following individuals:

Luisa Calderon

AMMUG/I

the above-named individuals were made available for review to

Charles Berk of this Committee.

Berk has now reviewed

Luisa Calderon's 201 file and AMMUG/l's Office of Security file,

Office of Personnel file, and Volumes One and Two of AMMUG/1's

201 file covering the period 25 April 1964 - October 1965.

After a careful review of these materials, it has been

determined that CIA originated reports of 5 May 1964, 6. May

COMMITTEE GrASITE

Iccorded interviews conducted by ClA representatives with

AMMUG/l are absent from the files provided thus far to the

Committee. These twenty-two reels of tape recordings were

listed, as attachments to the above-referenced CIA dispatch.

The actual interviews from which the tape recordings were

generated were conducted shortly

after AMMUG/l's defection

from the Cuban Intelligence Service.

Furthermore, three trans

scripts of tape recorded CIA interviews with AMMUG/1 are absent

from. the files: thus far provided to the Committee.

transcripts were listed as attachments to a CIA-originated re-

port of 30 April 1964. The actual interviews upon which the

transcripts are based were also conducted shortly after AMMUG/1's

defection from the Cuban Intelligence Service.

In the case of Luisa Calderon's CIA files, CIA informa-

tional reports, cables, and dispatches referenced to in her 201.

file have been

found to be absent from that file.

In addition,

a CIA transcript of a telephone conversation in which she pai-

ticipated on the day of President Kennedy's assassination is

absent: from her 201 file.

The absence of these reports, notes,

material

memoranda, and other

from the AMMUG/] files and the Luisa Calderon

files

reviewed to date may be an indication that other related

materials have not yet been made available to the Committee for

review.

The Committee therefore reiterates its request that all

iles and index references on Luisa calderon and AMMUG/1

In-

ruding but not limited to production files, operational files

soft files and subject files, be made available to the commit-

tee as soon as possible.

The Committee further requests that AMMUG/1 CIA case

"views with Committee staff members.

As some of the matters discussed herein may be of a

sensitive or classified nature; this communication may require

appropriate classification.

Thank you for your continued cooperation.

sincerely,

Robert

Blaker
