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.

u. 18 May 1972 - No problems.
v. 19 May 1972 — No problems; this indicates a false
Jack Anderson story rather than confirming a real Agency
report. _
'
w. 22 May 1972 - There may be a problem in reference
to "Soviet Navy Delivery Systems" and the items at the
bottom of the first page of the Ininutes. Otherwise it seems
O. K. The last item in the minutes on SALT merely reveal
the subject but not the substantive contents and probably is
releasable.
x. 23 May 1972 - No problems with the three marked
items, although OLC may feel that the first of them raises
the "advice and counsel" issue.
y. 25 May 1972 - No problems.
z. 1 June 1972 - No problems.
aa. 7 June 1972 - No problems.
bb. 8 June 1972 — The DDI should comment on the
reference to a specific OCI report. N0 problem with
reference t‘o a Jack Anderson column.
cc. 9 June 1972 - The reference to the Jack Anderson
column indicates that the reference to av\"intercept" is
probably correct. It raises the question of confirming
a COMINT activity. The reference to Britishrconcern is
an additional revelation in terms of US—UK intelligence
relations . _
'
dd. 26 June 1972 — Specific reference to USIB estimates
may have to be sanitized.
ee. 27 .TuI1~e 1972 — While publicity of the existence of
.forma1 briefing material on the SALT subject may lead to
FOIA requests, it is assumed that their continued classi-
fication and the sensitivity of the subject would result in a
denial. I don't see how We can withhold it. No problem
with the last iteln on the first page of the minutes.
