             MEMORANDUM FOR:  Director, Center  for the Study
                                of  Intelligence

             FROM:            John Pereira
                               Chief, Historical Review Group

             SUBJECT:         Meeting with JFK Assassination
                              Records Review  Board



             This memorandum  is for your information.  -

                  1.  On  18 May 1995, members of the Directorate of
             Operations and  the Historical Review Group met with the
             JFK Assassination Records Review  Board to discuss the
             declassification  of CIA records. The  Board had requested
             the meeting  for purposes of educating its members as to the
             categories  of information that probably will require
             continued protection,  i.e. by deleting words or inserting
             substitute  language.

                   2. The  discussion focused on some 30 documents that
             describe CIA  operations in Mexico City at the time of the
             assassination.  Among the categories of information
             discussed were:  locations of stations, surveillance methods,
             intelligence  liaison relationships, names of agents and
             staff officers,  and pseudonyms and cryptonyms.  In a number
             of  instances we suggested alternative ways of describing
             sensitive  information, which the Board seemed to find a
             reasonable  approach.

                   3. No decisions were made by the Board during the three
             and half hour  meeting, but the session was highly productive
             in terms  of providing the Board a basis for understanding
             material  in documents related to sensitive sources and
             methods.   Board Chairman John Tunheim told me that the Board
             found the discussion  very helpful in helping them fulfill
             their  responsibility for approving or disapproving all
             recommendations  to withhold information.  The Board's
             Executive  Director, David Marwell said it was a valuable
             meeting,  and he complimented the Agency representatives for
             being willing  to engage in an open-minded discussion that
             was  not scripted.
