               MEMORANDUM FOR:  Director of Central Intelligence

               FROM:            Stanley M. Moskowitz
                                Director of Congressional Affairs

               SUBJECT:         Status of JFK Legislation



                    1.  This note is to advise you of the current status
               of the JFK Joint Resolutions.

                    2.  Since your testimony last month before the Senate
               Governmental Affairs Committee, we have worked with
               Senator Glenn's staff to resolve various CIA concerns with
               the Senate version of the Resolution.  The staff agreed to
               amend the Joint:Resolution to accommodate all of our major
               concerns.. The Resolution now-provides that the initial
               review of documents for public release will be done by the
               originating agencies and that the President will have the
               power to postpone the release of Executive Branch
               information in congressional documents.  The Committee
               marked up the resolution on 25 June and it will be taken up
               by the full Senate following their Fourth of July recess.

                    3.   The JFK Joint Resolution was referred to four
               different committees in the House.  The Government
               Operations Committee has voted to report a substitute
               version.  This substitute is less favorable than the Glenn
               redraft but addresses several Administration concerns, such
               as Presidential appointment to the Assassination Materials
               Review Board.  The Committee did not agree to include in the
               legislation the concept of initial review of assassination
               records by the originating agencies or Executive branch
               review of its information in congressional documents.
               However, we have worked with Committee staff, who have
               agreed to address CIA concerns in their report.  That report
               is due to be filed imminently.  The House Judiciary, Rules,
               and Administration Committees have not yet acted on the
               legislation, although the relevant Judiciary subcommittee
               reported the original Stokes version to the full committee.
               The House is likely to adopt the Joint Resolution as
               reported out of the Government Operations Committee, but no
               earlier than after the Fourth of July recess.
