            Memo  for,.the Record

            Subject:   17 July, 1995 Meeting with ARRB staff re FBI
                       documents on

            Attendees:





            Purpose:   To provide the ARRB with justification for
            continued postponement  of information on
            relationship  with the CIA.


                        briefed  the ARRB staff members on the current
            status of                 including the Agency's.meeting with
                   earlier  this year.  They were told that.despite the
             inadertent  release of his name and being contacted by
             journalist,        was still denying his agency relationship
             and has requested that no more information be released.

                 pointed  out that        was an important JFK figure and
            that  the ARRB would lean toward disclosure.  We responded
            that the Agency  had no problem with the release of
            information  that did not indicate a relationship wit
            Agency.  Since  the agency did not target him for recruitment
            until  1964 and he not come to work for the Agency until
            1965, most of  the information of his activities during 61-63
            is releasable.  We showed them re-reviewed copies of the
            documents that  release much more information than had been
            released  in the copies they received from the FBI.

            Bill talked at  length about the need to protect sources and
            the potential  impact on Agency operations as well as the
            risk to the  individual. We also stressed the point that .an
            inadvertent  release, a mistake by reviewers or comments by
            former employees  did not constitute official acknowledgment
            or mean that  there was no longer a need to protect an
            individual.

            We agreed  to provide by the end of the day re-reviewed.
            copies of  the 7 documents in question.  The highlighting
            would reflect  the agency's policy of continuing to protect
                     relationship  with the CIA.


            Note: per phone  call with      (20 July), the Board did not
            address the         documents in the 18 July meeting.
