Summary:  
The document is a correspondence from Robert L. Keuch, Special Counsel to the Attorney General, to Admiral Stanfield Turner, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It addresses the Select Committee on Assassinations (SCA) of the U.S. House of Representatives, which investigated the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. The SCA requested Department of Justice files related to Antulo Ramirez Ortizirez, a hijacker linked to Cuba. Ramirez hijacked a National Airlines plane in 1961, fled to Cuba, and was later indicted for assault, kidnapping, and transporting stolen property. He pleaded guilty in 1976 and received a 20-year sentence. The document notes that the FBI’s classified report on Ramirez, dated July 28, 1960, contains information about the CIA and asks whether it should remain classified.
