handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch19236 and id is 1 raw text is: S1O4.iO331~1O3O9 CONFIDENTIAL NOTE FOR: John F. Pereira @ DA FROM: DATE: 02120195 11:33:42 AM SUBJECT: IdAids As you may remember the Board, ie, David Marwell, took issue on several counts with the Id Aids and the disks that we recently provided. Their concerns, 4 in number, and my recommendations to remedy those concerns are listed below. Some of their concerns can be relieved, some may not. The larger issue is the amount of resources that may be needed to make the kinds of adjustments they require. Initially we are talking about the 11 Oswald boxes. The remainder of the file will be harder to adjust 'because of the large amount of documents|1dAids, because the file is not in its original form (3rd Agency, HSCA) and because the audit is not completed (IdAids matched to documents in file). There is also the lurking possibility that to provide the missing data we may be forced to access the file data manually. Concern 1: Classification Status The original classification status of the do IdAid. This issue is not a new one, it has been discussed before with the Id Aid reflects the tatus of the IdAid all are Unclassified. The data is in our file, howe field at input there may be instances who Recommendation: Have'jiiuery for if there are a lot of blanks and, if the num change. If the numbers are not right, ie, l field, we need to regroup. Concern 2: Non Matching Hard Copy IdAid and Digit Mr. Marwell produced 2 versions of the s hard copy IdAid collection we provided an provided. I have talked to~iidelpbout thi program and firmly believes it to be impos same record. I will talk to im n Tuesda error. I will also call NARA and ask them comparison. My searches have produced cument was not provided on the NARA. i'data recorded on andlor the version of the-document currently at NARA,- namely ver, since it was not a required re the field is blank. ±Y blanks in the field to determine bers are right, make the program arge number of blanks in this al Id Aid ame index record - 1 from the d one from the disks we s and she has checked the sible to have 2 versions of the y but I view this as a human to. pull this record for no duplicates. Recommendation: Talk to Mr. Marwell again to find out exactly how he found the duplicate record and if more were discovered. Depending on his reply I would suggest that this be categorized as a human error. Concern 3: Referred Documents having a classification status In his manipulation of the disk data Mr. Marwell discovered numerous instances where a document was marked for referrallcoordination and also carried a classification status, eg, RIF, , DIF. He reasons that if a document is referred it should carry a P for Pending in the c tion status field. oan forms me that the program inserts a Re arking when the document originator is anything but CIA. This marking was not inserted by the i exers but by the program. The theory being that if the document was not CIA it waslis coordinated. It was also reasoned that iflwhen the document had completed its coordination run it was provided to NARA with an appropriate IdAid. The original August release included IdAids for those documents pending coordination - the IdAids appropriately stamped with Pending Coordination - but no documents were attached. The difficulty here is a difference in CONFIDENTIAL
