FROM: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Wilson/Terpil Investigation
1. You are aware that, in addition to the on-going Department of
Justice investigation of the Wilson/Terpil case, the House Permanent
Select Committee on Intelligence is conducting its own investigation and
that I asked the Inspector General to undertake a search for all Agency
documents relevant to the case.
2. The document retrieval phase is about finished. It behooves
us to research this subject thoroughly to ensure that the record is clear.
1 have asked the IG to pursue all possible ambiguities; thus. he will be
doing some follow-on interviewing. I have also asked him to serve as the
focal point for dealing with the HPSCI Staff and its investigation, keeping
the External Affairs Office fully informed.
3. We will, of course, protect sources and methods. But we must,
at the same time, avoid withholding relevant information. The three
principal HPSCI Staff investigators, Messrs. Latimer, O'Neil and Long, hrough
may have access to any and all relevant documents in this building,
the IG. If documents are requested for the Committee orfor Staffeuse on
the Hill, they will be appropriately sanitized and logged a
permanent record of that which was sent. Likewise, all responses to Staff
questions will be in writing.
4. I do'not anticipate that we will get into the kind fdocument
release bind experienced during the Rockefeller Commission, Cord. dut
Pike Committee, or House Assassination Spb-Committee investigations,
it is conceivable, depending on the number-and scope of HPSCI questions,
that we might need a small task force for document review, sanitizing
and control. If so, I will be back to you.
