Dear Mr. Blake:

In response to your letter of May 20, 1975, concerning a request

by the Commision on CIA Activities Within

the United States for

access to CIA materials located in the Presidential library system,

we have notified the directors of the various Preoidential libraries

and have asked them to cooperate with the Commiesion's representatives

In any way possible. A copy of your letter authorizing access to

the materials "regardless of classification" was included with our

notice to the libraries.

Since CIA materials may be found in numerous files among a library's

holdings, It will be necessary for a libraty staff member to work

closely with the Commission's representative to identify the perti-

nent material and to correlate these materials with documents from •

other agencies whose permission for access has bean sought and

granted.

Therefore, In order to facilitate access, Mr. David W.

Belin, Executive Director of the Commission, should contact the

Library directors individually regarding specific arrangements for

authorized mombers of the Commission staff to visit a particular

library.

A list of the Presidential libraries, their addresses, and the names

of their directors is attached.

If there is any way in which I may

be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to call.

Sincerely,

Caster BRloade

Dear Dr. Rhoads:

in the course ot preparing their report, the staff of

the Commission on CIA Activities Within the United States

has indicated a need to have access to CIA material

either

located in or designated for storage in Presidential

Libraries.

As you are undoubtedly aware, a good deal ot

this material is maintained on a segregated basis at CIA's

Archives and Records Center.

Other

material is actually

located

in the libraries under your custody.

The matter of access to these documents has been raised

with Mr. Colby and he has requested that I

ask you to make

whatever

arrangements are necessary to permit access to any

CIA material in the Presidential Library system upon the re-

quest of Mr.

David W. Belin, Executive Director of the Com-

mission staff or by any other staff member designated by him.

It is our desire that such access be permitted regardless of

classification of the documents and in any manner that would

be consistent with your procedures.

If it would be helpful

to you, I would be pleased to assist in facilitating arrange-

ments between the Commission staff and whomever you designate

this

matter.

Sincerely,

John F. Blake
