Summary:  
The document outlines CIA policies regarding record destruction during the "moratorium" period, which was in effect from 1975 to December 1976. It confirms that records related to the assassination investigations of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will not be destroyed once the moratorium ends. The CIA assures the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) that no such documents will be removed from their archives during this period. The letter emphasizes compliance with record control schedules approved by the Archivist of the United States and notes that materials designated for destruction will remain accessible to the HSCA until reviewed by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
