Summary:  
This memorandum of conversation dated 6 September 1975 details a discussion between Mr. Rather and an unnamed intelligence official regarding CIA programs related to investigations into the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy. The document references code-named initiatives such as "Custodium," "S.P./C.M.D." (likely referring to Security Police/Civil Defense Monitoring), and "Les Middigley" projects, which were allegedly compiling information on RFK’s associates, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and potential CIA connections to these events. The official notes that while CIA had some information about RFK’s assassination, it was not conclusive, and there was no direct evidence of CIA involvement in the RFK case. The discussion also touches on Mark Lane’s research into CIA ties to the Kennedy assassination, the Rockefeller Commission’s findings (which did not investigate FBI activities), and Howard Hunt’s alleged interest in U.S. political figures. The official acknowledges that CIA had limited knowledge of RFK’s visits to foreign embassies and notes that no definitive information was found in interagency records or military debriefing programs from 1955 onward. The conversation concludes with the assertion that CIA had not been directly involved in RFK’s assassination, though some connections to Oswald’s activities were noted as potential areas for further investigation.
