7) The CIA's written statement replying to the committee's

request of February 21, 1978 for an expianation of the

criteria that governed the opening of a 201 file dur-

ing the years 1958-64 was not responsiva to our inquiry

because the CIA's written statement did not focus on the

relevant time period.

accordingly, I am renewing our

request of February 21, 1978.

Imthe event that there

were no criteria governing the opening a such files

during that period, the committee would appreciate a

witten statement indicating that this was the case

8!

CIA document #563-810 indicates that there are 37 docu-

ments that should be in lee Harvey Oswald's 201 file

but which are missing fron the file. Furthermore, this

document also indicates that there should be a machine

listing of these documents attached as part of document

#563-810, but no such listing appears in the file.

Select Committee on Assassinations reguests that the

CIA provide a listing of such documents as well as a

written explanation of where those documents are 10-

cated and

why they do not appear in Oswald's 201 file.

Pursuant to my letter of December 27, 1977, I would like

to note that the document referred to in this paragraph

is a classified document.

witer having reviewed both the aocuments contained li

he CIA's Illes on Priscilla Johnson MoMillai

and the

materials that were independently nade available to her

under the Privacy Act, it is apparent that the files

which were made available to the committee aid not in-

clude HILINGUAL materials. As the Committee has

already requested all

information contained in your

files on the individuals who

are the subjects of our

requests, please review the files that you have pre-

viously made available to us

for the parpose of ensui-

ing that all of the information pertaining te the

individuals involved

I has, in fact, been provided

10. Finally, the. Committee would like to interview all persons

who served as case officers in the Soviet Russian Division of

the CIA's lokyo Station

for the period 1963 through February

1964, as well as the Chief(s) of Station and Deputy Chief(s) of
