            NOTE  FOR: D/OIM

            FROM:      John.Pereira
                       Barry Harrelson

             SUBJECT:  Talking Points for Meeting
                       with Jeremy Gunn, 3 Feb 98


             Background:  Gunn has been with the JFK Assassination
             Records Review Board since its inception in 1994.  When the
             Board's Executive Director resigned in the summer of 1997,
             Gunn replaced him, but continued as General Counsel as well.
             Gunn may be accompanied to your meeting by two of his senior
             staffers who handle CIA matters--Michele Combs and Bob
             Skwirot.

             Suggested Discussion Points:

             (U) 1. CIA is committed to meeting the deadline of 1
             September 1998 for completing the review of records and
             transferring them to the Board.  Recently we shifted seven
             additional contractor/reviewers to the JFK team, bringing
             the total to 20.  If necessary, additional resources will be
             made available.

             (U) 2. The merger of former HRG into OIM does not create new
             impediments to CIA's ability to respond to requests from the
             Board and will not slow down the document review.

             (S) 3. We are looking forward to meeting the Board's
             Chairman, Judge Tunheim on 18 February.  We have followed up
             on Tunheim's request to obtainofrom
             records and other information related to Oswald's activities
             in Mexico.  We have asked  he Mexico City Station to provide
             any additional information by mid-February.

             (U) 4. Per the Board's request, we are sending a team of
             reviewers to the Board on 4-6 February to review materials
             from the Army, JCS, and Presidential Libraries. This joint
             approach makes sense to us, and is preferable to having
             documents circulate from agency to agency. The process seems
             to have worked well earlier for other records.

             (U) 5. We intend to respond fully to the Board's many
             informal and formal requests for additional information.
             (See listing of requests, dated 18 December 1997.) However,
             to the extent that resources are devoted to searching files
