IG/CI Meeting Summary
1. In preparing the minutes of the IG/CI meeting of 6 September 1984
(Tab A), a brouhaha has erupted with State Department over the content of the
minutes. In a memorandum to me dated 28 September 1984 (Tab B), State has
non-concurred with the final minutes and distributed their version of what was
said and agreed upon. State's basic objection appears to concern which
options were to be deferred to a State-IG/CI Secretariat working group for
rephrasing. Inter alia, State insisted that the Chairman stated, at the
conclusion of the meeting, that revisions of all of the options would be made
by the working group. This was not reflected in the Secretariat's minutes.
Our minutes indicated that State was to meet with the working group to attempt
to develop alternative language for some of the original options discussed at
the IG/CI, but not to review and rewrite all of them. Certain of the options
were to be reworded by the SPrratariat, taking into account suggestions

2. Although we accommodated State's response to the draft as much as
possible and, I believe, accurately reflected the substance of what was said,
State insisted that their version of the minutes be used. When I received the
28 September memorandum, I contacted Lucian Heichler, the State Department
representative, and explained that the final minutes had been sent to Judge
Webster on Wednesday, 26 September, and that I could not withdraw them;
however, I would and did pass on their position. I discussed the situation
with Ed O'Malley, who briefed Judge Webster. I also understand that someone
in State called Judge Webster on 28 September and complained to him that I
would not accept State's changes to the minutes. O'Malley advised me that the
Judge had read the minutes very carefully and agreed with them as written.
Judge Webster approved the minutes on 28 September and they have been

3. An IG/CI meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, 17 October 1984, to
review the final version of the options. In the meantime, despite a meeting I
held with State representatives on 10 September to expedite preparation of the
options requiring State innut_ I have been told that State cannot meet with us
until 9 October.

MEMORANDUM
Executive Secretary, IG/CI
FROM: Lucian Heichler~D
Department of State Representative
SUBJECT: Minutes of IG/CI Meeting of 6 September 1984
REF: A) State Department Memorandum dated September 24
Containing Revisions to Draft Minutes
B) IG/CI Staff Summary of IG/CI Meeting,
6 September 1984 (received at noon on
September 27)
As I informed you in our telephone conversation on
September 27, the Department of State does not concur in the
minutes as presently formulated. V
The opportunity to review a corrected version of draft
minutes before they are finalized is a courtesy to which all
members of the IG/CI are entitled. As the Department of State
representative, I must. protest your refusal to permit a review
of the corrected draft minutes, particularly since the
Department of State's views took up a substantial part of the
discussion at the IG/CI meeting. The Department of State's
revisions to the draft minutes were hand carried to your office
on September 24 before the deadline you had set (Ref. A). We
are not concerned about editorial and stylistic changes in the
minutes. Nor would we challenge statements made by others at
the IG/CI meeting even though your rendition of them does not
accord in all instances with the extensive notes we took at the
meeting.
We must take exception, however, to the way in which some
of my comments are reflected, and to the formulation of certain
actions. We must insist, therefore, that the following
corrections be incorporated into the official minutes.
Copies of this memo are being circulated to all IG/CI
representatives.
