Summary  
This document details a meeting of the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) Task Force held on 4 May 1978 in Room 62660. Attendees included representatives from multiple U.S. government agencies, including the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), Office of General Counsel (OGC), and others. The meeting focused on coordination between the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the HSCA regarding the release of classified documents, security protocols for hearings, and handling of sensitive materials. Key topics included an addendum to the Memorandum of Understanding between CIA and HSCA, which established CIA control over certain information and restricted document sharing with the committee. Discussions also addressed the Hart Study, polygraph charts related to a defector named Nosegay (possibly Nosenko), Mexico City surveillance evidence, and plans for executive and public hearings. The CIA’s role in reviewing the HSCA’s final report and managing post-committee materials was emphasized, including procedures for sanitizing transcripts and ensuring secure handling of records.
