KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 SECRET DD/O / ' MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, JFK Assassination Records Review Board FROM: David Cohen Deputy Director for Operations SUBJECT: Release of JFK Documents 1. I understand the JFK AARB is presently considering the release of documents which would identify CIA stations to the public. I am opposed in general to revealing the locations of our stations and would prefer instead to substitute the station name with a regional designation, e.g. European Station vice Brussels. I would be willing, however, to open certain stations during a specific window of time if they are substantively relevant to the assassination investigation and provided that the documents in question are sanitizedt conceal the permanen-t presence of the station? (S) - 2. In all but a handful of instances, public acknowledgment of a station would be a political embarrassment to the host government and would threaten ongoing sensitive operations and liaison relationships. In a few instances, the damage probably would be minimal or not at all as long as the presence appears to be temporary. I have surveyed the involved components and determined the damage to national security which would follow such release. (S) 3. I strongly urge that you not allow the information regarding the Congo and Senegal to be released. The Congo is now Zaire and the station in the 60's would have been in Leopoldville, now Kinshasa where we are currently located. Our current relationship with the Zaireans is not a full-blown liaison type, but more of a limited relationship with certain individuals from the services. In the past, we have had close CL BY10695930 CL REASON: 1.5 (C) DECL ON: X1 DRV FRM LOC 3-82 SECRET
