                                            27 June  1995



         MEMORANDUM FOR:  Director of Central Intelligence
                          Deputy Director of Central  Intelligence

         VIA:             Executive Director
                          General Counsel
         FROM:            Brian Latell
                          Director, Center  for the Study of
                            Intelligence
         SUBJECT:         JFK Review Board Actions on CIA RecorAs
         REFERENCE:       Letter to DCI fr Executive Director,
                          ARRB dtd  21 June, 1995, Same Subject


              1.  Action Requested.  That you disapprove the DO  recommen-
         dation for you to sign the attached  letter to the President.  The
         letter recommends that the President postpone the release  by the
         JFK Assassination Records Review Board  (ARRB) of the names of two
         CIA employees who retired under cover.   (C)

              2.  Background.  On 7 June  1995, the ARRB made a formal
         determination to release  in full to the National Archives 16
         CIA documents from Lee Harvey Oswald's 201 file.  The President
         John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of  1992
         stipulates that the President has 30 days after written  notifica-
         tion of such determinations to either request the disclosure  or
         postponment of disclosure of documents.  Appeals procedures  also
         require that the Agency advise the White House Counsel within
         seven days of notification of Board actions,  if we wish to
         appeal.  The Agency was notified on 21 June  1995 (see reference).
         OGC will unofficially notify White House Counsel within  the
         seven-day period of the DO objection to release.   (U)

              3.  This Center has worked closely with the Board  and its
         staff and has declassified about  220,000 pages of Agency records
         that have been sent to the National Archives.  A  large percentage
         contain redactions, however, and  it is those excisions that are
         now being systematically reviewed by the Board which has  full
         access to the unredacted records.  The Board will meet more  or
         less monthly and  is likely to press for lifting a significant
         percentage of CIA's redactions.  The pending determination  is the
         first taken by the Board  involving Agency records.  (U)
