Mr. Wisner reported that one John Mitchell had been appointed Genfral
Counsel for a House of Representatives committee investigating the Katyn iaF=nacre

much inclined to ask CIA to do a lot of work in connection with this. Yir. i.-isner
had arranged to see Mitchell with Col. Hansen and it was hoped that his unrfasonable
requests could be turned down without causing any resentment.

the NSC Middle East paper and stated that its weakest point was that it 1as

After some discussion, it was felt that formal action on this paper Aught
