11. (Unclassified - RSG) LIAISON Received a call from a former

Agency staff officer to establish bona fides of House Select Committee on

Assassinations researcher Dan Hardway who would call the former Agency

officer to schedule an interview.

12. / Secret

- RSG) LIAISON Took a call from Mickey

Goldsmith, on the staff of the House Select Committee on Assassinations,

who requested that we make available to a former Agency employee a lisl

of SE case officers assigned to Tokyo Station) from 1960-1964. The former

Agency employee was employed at the Station during that time and is now

claiming that Lee Harvey Oswald was a(Station)asset. This request was denied

because the information was classified and could not be released to the former

Agency employee. Goldsmith indicated he would not press the issue.

13. (Unclassified - RSG) LIAISON Bob Genzman, House Select

Committee on Assassinations staff, called to reschedule the briefing of DDO

name trace system to 7 April at 9:00 a.m. Gary Cornwell, of the Committee

staff, will also observe.

14. (Unclassified - ME) FOLA/LIAISON Called Representative Charles

Whalen, Jr.'s (R., Ohio) office, and spoke with Ms. Randy Hentz about

the Congressman's letter of 14 March on behalf of Mr. Gene W. King

and his claim that the Agency had advised him that CIA had no files

on the Veterans Coalition, of which he is National Director, or on

himself. I explained to Ms. Hentz that I had checked with the appropriate

office concerned with such requests and there is no record of a request

from either Mr. King or the Veterans Coalition. She asked me to send

her the name and address of the individual to whom Mr. King could write

and I passed same to her.

15. (Secret - PLC) LIAISON Together with Gary Chase, I met with

Don Sanders, Special Counsel, Senate Select Committee on Ethics, and discussed

in general the support the Agency will provide to the Committee in their

investigation to determine if the leaks (Panama and the Oil study case) resulted

from a source within the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Sanders

made clear that in his capacity as Special Counsel, he is completely separate

from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence though he also holds a staff

position on the Subcommittee on Investigations of the Select Committee on

Intelligence. Any information provided by CIA concerning the investigation

should be sent directly to him. He understands that procedures will have to be

worked out as we go along and he was agreeable to a Memorandum of Understand-

ing formalizing the arrangements. I also delivered the damage assessments by

CIA and NSA on the leak of the ail stud if cordance with gast dequest.
