HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON ASSASSINATIONS --U7S7HOUSEIWREPRESENTATIVES-(HSC/0-

YEDERAL GOVEINIIEFf

Reference is made to letter dated May 17, 1978, to Attorney General Bell from Louis Stokes, Chairman, HSCA, concerning the file destruction program of this Bureau as it relates to the Select Committee on Assassinations' investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of President John F. Kennedy-and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

On November 24, 1976, a teletype captioned "House Select Committee on Assassinations, U. S. House of Representatives (HSCA)," was sent to all of our Field Offices and Legal Attaches advising of the. formation of captioned Committee and the recipients of this communication were reminded "that, in accordance with our destruction of files and records program, records possessing evidentiary, intelligence or historical value, such as the Kennedy and King assassination investigations are excluded from the file destruction program and cannot be destroyed.". A similar teletype dated January 5, 1977, captioned as above, was again directed to all Field Offices and Legal Attaches again setting forth instructions that the Kennedy and King assassination investigation files

12b R/ (aq h I) 711 are excluded from our file dastruet-ion pr gram.

Each Field Ofpk e and LegN t the was advised by letter dated August 15, 1977, that the Attorney General, by letter dated June 6, 1977, informed this Bureau that the moratorium on file destruction had been lifted and indicated his approval for the FBI to resume the file destruction program. However, the Attorney General specifically instructed that all records in litigation and those records which the Select Committee on Assassinations has asked to be retained be preserved. .FBI Headquarters identified the subjects involved and these were set forthW.;,u4;-:E' in the above letter. Those subjects are as follows: House Select Committee on Assassinations; The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Lee Harvey Oswald; Marina MK MAY 31' Oswald; Jack Ruby; President's Commission on the Assassination

This Bureau received an HSCA request dated March 9, 1977, wherein ESCA desired information on a nuMber, of individuals, ono of 'high was Willis Augustus Somersett. This request was processed in the visual manner, that is, only FBI Headquarters files were reviewed. At this time there was no request for any review of a Field Office file pertaining to Somersett. Almost a year later, an HSCA request dated March 7. 1978. was received by this Bureau, wherein the Miami Field Office file pertaining to Somersett was requested. Our Miami Field Office advised on March 28. 197$, that the Somersett file in Miami was destroyed under the Bureau's routine file destruction program. However, the last section of this file inadvertently was not destroyed and therefore was made available to ESCA.

HOUSE SELECT CON ITTEE OH ASSASSINATIONS U. S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (HSCA)

For your information, a teletype dated January 16, 1978, was sent to all Bureau Field Offices and Legal Attaches advising that due to certain pending litigation natters, file destruction in all security related classifications was to be immediately suspended until further notice. Each Field Office was again reminded of the above by communication dated May 8, 1978, stating that the moratorium on file destruction in all security related classifications was still in effect.

Many facets of the BSC& investigation are unknown to the FBI, particularly to our Field Offices. This prevents this Bureau from knowing the nature of the files that would be of potential interest to the BSCA. In the future, if the HSCA desires specific Field Office files be excluded from our file destruction program, this Bureau would appreciate being advised by the HSCA the subject and Field Offices involved so that affipropriate measures can be taken to exclude these files from destruction.
