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.

e. 24 March 1972 - No objection to release of the
item on the NY'I‘ story on ITT.
f. 27 March 1972 - No objection to release of the t
first two marked items on page 2 of the minutes. How-
ever, the name of George Doole should be considered for
possible sanitization, although he has received considerable
publicity for his Air America role. It is noted that Angus
Thuermer's name appears here and in a number of other
places (23 March) for example. He is now going overseas
under cover and continued publicity of his name may pose
a problem.
g. 28 March 1972 — The third item in the minutes
raises the third Agency rule in citing a specific State
Department cable. The next to last item on the first
page of the minutes may raise the OLC issue of "advice
and counsel, " although OLC may release it as a border-
line case.
h. 29 March 1972 - The last four items on the first
page o.f the minutes seem to deal with ‘budget hearings
and strike me as releasable. The two items marked on
the second page of the minutes appear releasable, although
the reference to a "Chilean agent" ought to be reviewed by
a DDO representative. A

A
i. 30 March 1972 — The first item in the minutes
identifies a CIA. report by date and release might serve
as a revealing confirmation. The next to last item in the _
minutes for that day seem releasable.
j. 31 March 1972 - The next to ‘last item in the minutes
for this day names an Agency employee. Otherwise it .
seems releasable. 7
k. 3 April 1972 - No problem.
1. l0 April 1972 - Routine comment on scheduling
Congressional hearings.
