generally are considered to be "The Taylor Conunittee Report," and in the records of the National Archives and Records Service (NARS) the four memoranda specifically constitute Part I of The Taylor Committee Report. For reference purposes NARS also has identified as Part II ot the Taylor Committee Report the record of 21 meetings and the three "conversations" which were conducted by the committee as a whole or by various members of the committee1 and as Part III, the 33 Annexes which are referred to in Memorandum Number 1 of Part 1.* * It was not until the late 1970's that the writer was able to obtain a complete copy of the Taylor Committee Report. Requests to the National Archives and Records Service for access to the report under the Freedom of Information Act precipitated the move toward review for sanitization and declassification of the report. The bulk of Parts I and II Of the Taylor Committee Report have been DECLASSIFIED or SANITIZED ~nd DECLASSIFIED, and published commercially as Operation Zapata (Frederick, MD1 University Publications of America, 1981). As of March 1983, PartIII was still in the process of declassification review and the writer's last recommendations on this subject were that practically all of Part III be declassified/sanitized as well as all of the remaining testimony of witnesses and the "conversa- tions" of part II. 23 .., .~ .. .i'l or.
