Summary  
The document consists of two parts. The first is an identification form from the National Security Agency (NSA) dated 10/05/98, referencing a memorandum titled "VISIT TO HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON ASSASSINATIONS" dated 1/28/78. It notes that Julia Wetzel, representing NSA, reviewed a report prepared by Cornwell and Klein following an interview with SGT Nicholas Stevenson, USAF, on 17 November 1978. The report, described as one and a half pages long, lists participants in the interview and summarizes discussions but does not specify the exact location of Stevenson’s assignment. It mentions the facility’s capability to collect the Lisbon-Tangier link and references "intercept" and "NSA" multiple times. The document includes a classification discussion where Wetzel suggests portions of the report should be classified as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "CONNECT CHANNELS ONLY," with unclear phrasing.  

The second part is a memorandum dated 28 November 1978, detailing Wetzel’s review of the same report. It notes that Mr. Cornell inquired whether NSA had determined if a conversation referenced by Christensen was published in product channels; Wetzel stated this determination was pending. The document also includes redaction markers for social security numbers (SSNs) and references to declassification under Executive Order 14176.
