Summary:  
The document is a 1976 National Security Agency (NSA) response to queries from the Senate Select Committee regarding its involvement in the Warren Commission's investigation of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. The NSA states it retained photocopies of specific exhibits (Exhibits 31, 35, 104, 18, and versions of Exhibit 24) but later destroyed them. It acknowledges no direct analytical efforts related to the assassination, though informal requests from Dr. Tordella were made to review documents for secret codes or messages. The NSA notes that Cuban military forces went on alert immediately after the assassination, suggesting possible prior knowledge, but no evidence of pre-assassination alerts was found. The response also mentions product reports (Inclusions 2–4) indicating Cuban military activity post-incident and references to declassified records under Executive Order 14176.
