MEMORANDUM   FOR:   Deputy  Executive  Director

VIA:                Director  of Information   Management

FROM:               Lee S.  Strickland
                    Chief,  Information  Review  Group/OIM

SUBJECT:            Pending  ARRB  (JFK Board)  Issues



      1.   (AIUO)   Per your  request  at our  1 April  bi-weekly
meeting,  we  have  summarized  below  the  significant- issues  which
are  under  deliberation   and negotiation   with  the JFK  Board.   Our
approach   on protecting  Agency   equities  is multi-step:

            First, with the staff, we argue relevance although the statute and
            implementing regulations define assassination records very
            broadly as including

            *  (1) any records related to the assassination or Oswald,

            *  (2) any records concerning.the various conspiracy theories, and

            *  (3) any records within the scope of previous investigations
               including the Church Committee, Pike Committee, Warren
               Commission, or House Select Committee on Assassinations
               (HSCA), 1

         *  Second, with the staff, we argue that release would cause current
            damage although the exemptions under the JFK statute are much
            narrower than the corresponding exemptions under the FOIA, and

         *  Third, if we fail to convince the staff, we must proceed to a more
            detailed and formal presentation to the Board.



1  (AIUO) It is the materials collected by the HSCA which are the most
numerous and often the most troublesome in terms of sensitive equities. They
are generally referred to as the sequestered collection.

                                                              CL REASON: 1.5(c)
                                                                 DECL ON: X1
