/  October,   1968.


           Your  Melbourne  Station has sought my  views
on the possibility of declassifying a Warren Commission
document  In which reference  is made to.the  h


                    The  document  in question is CD.971
dated 22nd  May,  1964, together with an attachment dated
29th November,   1963.

           I would recommend   strongly that CD. 971 and
its attachment should not on any account be declassified or
publicly released for reasons which  Include the following :


(1)    It has never been officially stated that there
       is a C.I.A.  Canberra  Sf  tion4' or that
       there are C.I.SA. officers i,.1 IIIIj
       This has  been avoided as. a point of policy.

(if)   Publication of these facts would Invoke a
      bate   bf' lthstie by    i ei ' 'nd t 'ihe
                   which  would 1'e contrary to the
       national security, Interest, for example :

       (a) Who  approved  the establishment of
           the C.I.A.  Canberra   Station?

       (b) What  Is Its composition and location?

       (c) What  is its purpose in
           (Allegations have already been  made
           that  C.I.A.  is interfering in
                   domestic affairs.)


(d) With what Australian agencies does  it
    deal?
               F which  has not been
     publicly disclosed, could be brought
     Into discussion.)

(e) With what other foreign agencies does  the
               deal?


   (f) What                    s.there
       such dealing
