KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 SECRET 15 October 1996 MEMO UM FOR: Assassination Records Review Board FROM: John F. Pereira Chief, Historical Review Group SUBJECT: Foreign Government Information Australia (We request that this memorandum be returned to CIA once the Board has completed its deliberations on the issues discussed below.) 1. (S) Issue: This memorandum will address CIA's position on the review and declassification of foreign government information that appears in the JFK collection. This issue has come to CIA's attention because of the recent review by the JFK Board of<Z- salian liTisondocuments. The Agency believes it is important to address this issue at this time because this is the first instance that this type of oreign liasndocument has been reviewed by the Board and it is possible that such information will appear again in CIA's collection.
