             Re: JFK Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992

        Dear Mr. Tunheim:

             This will respond to your 14 September 1998 letter regarding
        Central Intelligence Agency compliance with the JFK Act.

             I have no doubt whatsoever that the CIA has fully met its
        obligations to locate, review, and release assassination
        records as defined in the JFK Act. The Agency's 2 September
        1998 Declaration of Compliance-signed, as you note, by CIA's
        Director of Information Management, Edmund Cohen-confirms my
        judgment.  I have full confidence in the scope of the Agency's
        searches as described in Mr. Cohen's recent declaration.

             As Director of Information Management, Mr. Cohen is directly
        responsible for CIA's records systems and for ensuring the
        adequacy of CIA's search, review, and release of documents under
        the JFK Act.  Mr. Cohen signed the Agency's Declaration of
        Compliance because he was the most senior Agency official with
        direct personal knowledge that its statements were accurate and
        complete.  There was no more appropriate signatory.

             In sum, I understand that the appropriate CIA staff officers
        have worked diligently to locate and disclose to the JFK Board
        all relevant records in the Agency's possession and that they do
        not believe any other relevant records are being withheld from
        the Board.  Mr. Cohen's declaration confirms my understanding.

             I trust that this will meet your requirements.

                                          Sincerely,




                                        Geor e J. Tenet
