[26]crux of the provlem lay in the House Select Committce on
[27]Assassinations Possible exposure of sensitive information
[28](Nosenko and/or Mexico operations) in open fora. He said
[29]that he would brief Chairman Edward P. Boland (D., Mass.),
[30]House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and that
[31]the latter might discuss the matter with Chairman Louis
[32]Stokes (D., Ohio), House Select Committee on Assassinations.
