The document discusses the provision of information from the National Security Agency (NSA) to Congressional committees, specifically regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

1. The NSA has been requested by Senator George McGovern's Subcommittee on International Operations to provide information on U.S.-sponsored surveillance and harassment of foreign nationals in the United States.
2. The NSA has also been asked by Representative Louis Stokes, Chairman of the House Select Committee on Assassinations, for information on the Cuban intelligence network during 1959-1964.
3. Mr. Ira Nordlicht's letter to Deanne Siemer requested information on the flow of oil to South Africa and Rhodesia.
4. The lack of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or agreed procedure for dealing with requests from non-traditional oversight committees has hampered NSA's ability to provide sensitive cryptologic or other intelligence information.
5. A proposed MOU between the Executive Branch and Senator McGovern on behalf of the Subcommittee in International Operations was not executed, preventing the provision of information to the committee.
6. The Director, NSA, reviewed reports related to Mr. Glennon's request but did not provide them to him until a memorandum of understanding was executed.
7. A similar investigation by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has focused primarily on KCIA activities and has not received product records pertaining to Mr. Glennon's request.
8. The Director proposed that the DCI assume responsibility for acting as the focal point for requests from Congressional committees, but this proposal was not responded to.
9. An agreed procedure is recommended to be developed between the Executive and Legislative Branches to set forth terms and conditions on which sensitive cryptologic or other intelligence information would be provided.
