                                         SECRET


          SUBJECT:  Pending ARRB (JFK Board) Issues



               11.  (S)  LITAMIL-9 was a CIA penetration o    e  u  ari
            bass .  Unfortunately, his identity was indirectly and
          inadvertently released in 1993 and, as a result, he was
          identified in true name as a CIA agentf n John Newman's boOk,
          nOswald and the CIA.) As of 1993, LIT  .-9 was still alive  and
          living in  exi co City with family infCub.  To date, the ARRB
    .     Board has agreed to protect his identity and crypt and delay  the
          release of his 201 file until the Agency could make some
          .judgments about the potential damage created by the release on
          additional documents with his name/crypt in them.  That will  now
          occur at the May meeting of the Board.  It is, however--unlikely
          that the Board would agree to delay release until 2017  although
          there is pr~ecedent for delaying release of records on individuals
          for shorter periods or until death.


                        ISSUE 6 -- _ichard Gibson (CIA Asset

               12.  (S)  Richard Gibson, who presently lives in England,  is
           aeft  wing journalist who was associated with the Fair Play  For
           Cuba-Cbttee   (FPFCC), an entity to which Oswald wrote  letters
           nd claimed to be a member.  Gibson did not become n  Agency
           sset until aft  the  assassination; however, he had been of
           interest to the FBI` -min~he headed the FPFCC. Unfortunately, a
           ombination ofpevious   releases  ed to press reports  in
           d1994/1995 about his relationship- with the CIA. At that time, CIA
           5fficers were dispatched to advise him about the possible
         \compromise and promise him the very best attempt at protecting
         1the relations ip.

               1.(ST     Sinc-t-hen, the ARRB has agreed to delay the
           e ease of any additional information until the Agency and  FBI
         1had determined the full extent of the files on Gibson and  the
         pptential  damage.  The issue is scheduled-for ARRB ac tion at the
         May  meeting and our objective is to release Gibson's role  in the
         JFK  assassination story while protecting his relationship with
         fthe Agency; however, the FBI has a four volume file which  covers
         )both FBI interest and Gibson's relationship withtheAgency. We
         Swa lLbe wgr<kingin ndetaiLwith the ARRB staff and the  FBI on this
         approach
