Estimate for Processing Sequestered
Kennedy Documents


    1.  At our meeting on 1 August, you requested an estimate  for
processing approximately 200,000 pages of documents sequestered by
the House Assassination Committee at the conclusion of its
inve stigation of the Kennedy assassination. At  this point, with no
certain knowledge of the nature of the documents, our best estimate
is five years.

    2.  We have arrived at that estimate by making a rough
comparison with the Missing in Action  (MIA) case, which contained
66,382 documents.  That case required approximately two years  for
pre-processing, i.e. to index all documents, remove duplicates,
refer non-Agency documents, remove classified marginal information
and attach addoc sheets to each document.  That procedure required
approximately 17 part-time clerks and analysts.  It is expected that
the MIA case will require an excess of three years for the
completion of the substantive review.  This will bring the total
processing time of the MIA case to five years.  The substantive
review requires a team of three part-time analysts assisted by
several clerical processors.

    3.  Upon receipt of your memorandum authorizing the processing
of the sequestered documents, we plan to take the following action:
         a.  Conduct a survey in Wa(    oof   the sequestered
documents in order to determine how the material was stored and in
what order proces-ing can take place.
         b.  Convert the 75 rolls of film into paper copy.
             (Note: We have been given an estimate that this process
would require about 80 man-hours at a total cost of $6,800).
         c.  Index all documents by document number, date, and title.
         d.  Organize the case according to the agreement reached by
your office with the requester.
         e.  Begin the substantive processing.
