THE WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON

June 19, 1975

Dear Mr. Chairman:

This is in response to your letter of yesterday concerning

the meeting we had on a number of matters.

Although I generally agree with your recapitulation of the

points

of agreement, I feel obliged to raise one matter

specifically: in order to avoid any misunderstanding of our

position.

Your letter states that "The Committee appreci-

ates your intentions to deliver the NSC and other materials

on assassinations by Friday."

As I recall, there was no

discussion yesterday with respect to the means and manner

by which the materials relevant to assassination allegations

would be made available to the Select Committee.

Your letter

seems to assume that copies of these materials

will be

provided to the Committee for its custody.

This matter was

not discussed yesterday, and we made no such commitment.

With respect to that matter, I should point out that the

President has expressed his hope that the Congress will

handle the matter of assassination allegations with the

utmost prudence.

ever, in view of your announced intention to publish an

interim report on

these matters, it is our judgment that

additional discussions and assurances are necessary before

we can responsibly turn over to the Select Committee custody

copies of materials which might ultimately, at your dis-

cretion, be publicly released in a manner so as to substan-

tially affect the ongoing diplomatic and foreign affairs

Of course, these discussions should not and will not interfere

the Select Committee staff.

Beginning tomorrow morning, materials relevant to assassina-

tion allegations will be available for review in the situation

Room at the White House. The Situation Room is staffed on a

24-hour a day, seven day a week basis; consequently, there

will be no impairment of the Select Committee's access -to

these materials.

As you know, we are still continuing our own internal review

of relevant National Security Council and other materials,

and these materials will be also available for Select Commit-

tee review on a continuing basis when and as possible.

ncerely,

Peel Bucken

Counsel to the President

The Honorable Frank Church

Dear Frank:

I was sorry to miss you when you thoughtfully

returned my call yesterday.

Within the past two weeks my name has been

associated in the press with discussions of the

assassination of Castro during 1962. I want you

to know that, although I doubt that I have any-

thing to contribute to your investigation, if

your staff or your Committee wishes to question

me about my knowledge of the events

of that period,

I will be happy to respond.

With best wishes,

Sincerely,

Robert S. McNamara

Honorable Frank Church
