Re:   Status of CIA Responses to Assassination Records Review Board's Requests for
      Additional Information and Records

Dear John:

I am writing to follow-up on our telephone call earlier today and to convey my serious
concern about the status of CIA's responses to the Review Board's requests for
additional information and records. Although CIA has completed its responses to
several requests, and many others have been answered in part, a significant number of
requests have not been answered - including some that were made more than two
years ago. On many  occasions we have been assured that responses would be
forthcoming, only to have promised dates come and go without answers. It is now
extremely important that these requests be answered promptly so that we may conduct
a proper follow-up if necessary. The issues that we can now identify as being of the
highest priority are identified in the text below by double asterisks (*)' and we request
that they be answered within the next month. We request that the remaining requests
be answered by April 1, 1998.

The remainder of this letter is divided into two parts: first, a listing of the formal
requests for information and records, and second, a listing of the informal requests for
information and records. Please.let me know if your understanding of any of the
following points differs from ours so that we can resolve any potential discrepancies.




       'As identified more fully below, the issues are: CIA-1 Organizational Material,
CIA-6 Cables and Dispatches, CIA-13 Backchannel Communications, CIA-IR-03
HTLINGUAL Documents, CIA-IR-04 Disposition   of Angleton Files, CIA-IR-07 Claude
Barnes Capehart, CIA-IR-15 Electronic take from Mexico City, CIA-IR-21 DRE
Monthly  Operational Reports, CIA-IR-22 A Files on Clay Shaw and Jim Garrison.
