[7]On 3/28/75 Mr. Wannall and I met with Mr. Buchen and Mr. Hills
[8]at the White House. The purpose of the meeting was to review the role of ©
[9]The White House in coordinating the responses of the various intelligence
[10]agencies to the Senate Committee to insure that there was uniformity in
[11]complying with Committee requests in that any restrictions on the furnishing
[12]of information were uniform.
[14]It was determined that there is a unanimity of opinion that access
[15].\{to raw files would not be granted Committee members or staff as a matter
[16]of practice, although it is not inconceivable that some particular horrendous
[17]event might arise which is of such significance that access to the files on
[18]that matter might be granted to the Committee Chairman or a select number
[19]of Senators.
[21]We discussed items which we felt were particularly sensitive such
[22]as identities of informants, sources and cooperative citizens as well as
[23]information received from foreign sources. The sensitivity of specific
[24]details on confidential expenditures was pointed out although we had no
[25]objection to discussing or making available the gross figures.

[29]foreign intelligence field including the(Orkid programland similar programs,
[30]electronic wiretaps, microphones, (Telex, and electronic penetration of
[31]communications equipment} We pointed out that there were varying degrees -
[33]of sensitivity involved and each type of surveillance would have to be individually
[34]4 considered as to the degree of disclosure which could be made to,the Committee.

[38]We briefly discussed activities which had previously taken place
[39]yet which might be subject of current interest because of newspaper publicity
[40]and allegations, We were reminded on more than one occasion that it was
[41]absolutely imperative that the White House not be surprised without being
[42]forewarned of any earthshaking incidents which might come to light. In this
[43]context, we mentioned the(Anagram program) the various mail and pouch (S)
[44]intercepts, the Karot and related cases, surreptitious entries in connection
