Documents / FOIA release
This Central Intelligence Agency file, dated 29 September 1975, collects Office of Security memoranda written while the Senate Select Committee was investigating the Agency. Staff were told to alert former employees about possible committee contact over Project MERRIMAC/RESISTANCE, and the file answers committee questions about Hayes International and Bay of Pigs pilots. It also records staff interviews about CIA name checks at NSA and a Justice Department request for records on domestic electronic surveillance. It contains no material on UFOs.

This latter process would be used to avoid subpoena which, we all recognize, is a possible recourse to the Department of Justice to have total access to the file. 4. Both Mike Malanick and Tony Lapham called during the evening of l9 October to advise me that the Department " of Justice has withdrawn their request for security files on present and former employees as a result of Lapham's conversation with them.
