                  SUBJECT:         IMMEDIATE - Questions re   JFK  Assassination Search

                  CIC has received the tasking memo from Lee Strickland to conduct the new search on information relating to the JFK Assassination. I
                  see that LA and CE divisions have received it as well. Before the CIC Focal Point  CICIEX0) gets started on the search
                  for us on Monday (I'll be on AIL), I have some questions:

                            1. Will we be receiving any additional guidance from the D (either the DDO or IMS or someone else)?

                            2. Will we be required to submit a search strategy and a written final response? (As instructed in .the memo entitled
                  Document  Search Procedure issued by the 000 in Feb 1997, #0010 97-0420.)

                            3.  I note that the tasking memo says if any information is found it should be brought immediately to the attention of the
                  Historical Review Program, 0IM Barry Harrelson. I'm not comfortable with doing that (see item B below) and think our findings, if
                  any, should go through someone in the 00 first. (No offense Barry; it's just that we might find something that's sensitivelcompartmented.)


                  According  to the memo above- - which I think was very helpful when we were going through a number of searches early last year- -
                  certain things are called for. For example, it states:

                            A. The 000  will a. Appoint a DO focal point officer to manage each search activity and provide policy guidance. b. The
                  00  focal point officer will be responsible for obtaining the external request in writing and for working with the requester to determine the
                  level of search expected and the desired end product. e. The component focal point officers will coord their search plans with the DO
                  focal point to ensure there is consistency with...... the searches done by other components. Communication and coordination between the
                  DO  focal point and the component shall continue during the course of the search to eliminate duplication of effort and to ensure that no
                  relevant holdings are overlooked.

                            B. Upon completion of the search, the component's final written response to the DO focal point should detail the search
                  methodology, describe the review process, list the material provided and note any caveats for the provision of the documents to the
                  reguester.
