        MMORANDUM  FOR:  Chairman, JFK Assassination Records Review Board

        FROM:            David Cohen
                         Deputy Director for Operations

        SUBJECT:         Release of JFK Documents


             1.   I understand the JPK AARB is presently considering the
        release of documents which would identify CIA  stations to the
        public.  I am opposed in general  to revealing the locations of
        our stations and would prefer instead  to substitute the station
        name with a regional designation, e.g. European  Station vice
        Brussels.  I would be willing, however,  to open certain stations
        during a specific window of  time if they are substantively
        relevant to the assassination investigation  and provided that the
        documents in question are sanitized&th conceal the permanent
        presence of the station   (G)

             2.  In all but a handful of instances, public  acknowledgment
        of a station would be a political  embarrassment to the host
        government and would  threaten ongoing sensitive operations and
        liaison relationships.   In a few instances, the damage probably
        would be minimal or not at all  as long as the presence appears to
        be temporary.   I have surveyed the involved components and
        determined  the damage to national security which would follow
        such release.  (8)

             3.   I strongly urge that you not allow the information
        regarding  the Congo and         to be released.  The       is now
        Zaire and  the station in the 60's would have been in
        Leopoldville,  now Kinshasa
