ii sin; \ 7 October 1975 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT: CIA ~ IRS Relations (Interview by Mr. Peter Hughes, House Select _ Committee Staff) _ 1. Reference is made to a verbal request from-Mr. William Grant of The Review Staff that the undersigned meet with Mr. Peter Hughes, House Select Committee Staff, on 7 October 1975 to dis- cuss the Office of Security's relationship with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. 2. From 1400-1500 hours, 7 October 1975, the undersigned met with Mr. Hughes in the conference room located within The Review Staff. Mr. Hughes was provided with a verbal briefing concerning those instances where the Office of Security has reviewed U.S. Internal Revenue Service tax records concerning individuals and/or firms, as previously reported to the Rocke- feller Commission, Senate Select Committee, and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. In addition, Mr. Hughes was allowed to review the Office of Security's 17 June 1975 letter to the Internal Revenue Service, which outlined those instances where tax records had been reviewed by the Office of Security. 3. Mr. Hughes‘ primary interests seemed to center on the types of cases in which the Office of Security has reviewed tax records and was informed that such cases would fall into two categories--a counterintelligence investigation or in a case where an Agency employee is suspected of misusing his position with the Agency to his own financial or personal advantage. As stated to Mr. Hughes, all but one of those instances where the Office of Security has reviewed U.S. Internal Revenue Service tax records could be categorized as a counterintelligence investigation.
