ACTION REQUIRED - REFERENCES


PROCES4NG ACTION


       1.  WOFIM   has been  requested  by an             newspaper
 editor  (Attachment  A)  to release  the Waren   Comission  Document
 971  (CDZlis- Attachment B) which relates to IiIIbtelephone,
 <calls to the-1 jEmbassy at the time of the assassination of
 President  Kennedy.   His  request was  turned down.   As you  probably
 know,  there has  been mounting  public  pressure  to release  classified
 documents  of  the Warren  Commission.   'While no decision has  been
 made  to declassify  Q0-971,  it is highly  possible  we will be  asked
 -to do so in the  near future  by National  Archives,  which has
 -official custody  of the documents,  or  by some higher  authority.

       2.             Station  is requested  to discuss  Paragraph
 One above  with  SQUlB/1 ,afterhis return  to              The  a
 Service  is. mentioned in Paragraph  4 of  cB V71 and  release of  the
 document  is certain  to provoke  questions  in Since
 4it 9701 is a U. S. Government  document we  need not  (and should  not)
 request 48,UIB concurrence  for  release  of the document.   He should
 be informed,  however,  that release  of CD  971' to the public domain
 is presently  under  consideration;  that  the United  States Navy
 .has no objections;  and that we  are giving  him advance  notice as
 a matter  of courtesy.   Any views  volunteered  by 4QUIB  1, regarding
 this release  should  be reported  promptly  to Headquarters.
