MEMORANDUM FOR. THE RECORD
.SUBJECT: Meeting with
STATOTHR
1. In my office this morning I handed the documents STATOTHR
referred to as Tab A in Mr. Kane ' s memorandum to me of 16 April 1975.
STATOTHRI went through each folder withl document by document, and explained
to him that deletions had been made to protect names of Agency employees,
to protect the privacy of third parties, to delete cryptonyms, and to honor
the third agency rule which I explained to him. He asked what agencies
were involved and I did not furnish the names of any. I also indicated
there were in some cases entire documents which had been deleted, 'based
on classification under Executive Order 11652 and to protect sources and
methods. Also, entire documents of third agencies were deleted, as well
STATOTHR's references to specific 0 articles ti=mere there had been classified
concerns. He understood that identification of the specific article in the
body of a memorandum discussing classified concerns would be to pass
him further classified information. I indicated several cables had been
deleted since they were only peripheral and, in fact, did not mention him
by name at all.
STATOTHR 2. II took copious notes of my explanations. I further advised
that we had in general applied FOI rules in making the documents available
to him. He did inquire again if we had conducted any wire taps targeted
at him and I again assured him that we had not. He also inquired whether
there was any indication in the documents that we had information from
other agencies which was based on electronic surveillance. I advised
him that there was no such indication.
STATOTHR
3. was clearly unhappy at the incident, but gave no indica-
tion of any action he plans to take. He did comment that we seem to have
done a rather thorough job in making documents available to him.
