DC 20530 (202) 724-0088* Fax: (202) 724-0457 'e.X NOV- October 28, 1997 Mr. David W. Carey Executive Director Central Intelligence Agency Washington, DC 20505 Re: Completing the Review of FK Assassination Records Dear Mr. Carey: I would like to congratulate you on youri new appointment at the Agency and wish you the very best of success in the difficult challenges that lie ahead. As you probably are aware, the Assassination Records Review Board has been mandated by Congress and the President to oversee the declassification and transfer to the National Archives of all records related tb the assassination of President Kennedy. During the past three years we have received excellent cooperation from CIA in regard to the processing of the relevant Agency records. From our perspective, this is due in significant part to the work of John Pereira, Chief of the Historical Review Group, and J. Barry Harrelson, who has shouldered the extremely complicated, burdensome, and frequently thankless task of overseeing the project. Both of them have proved to be superb representatives of the Agency. We also very much appreciated receiving a strong message of support from your predecessor, Nora Slatkin, who advised us in a meeting on October 16,1996, of her full support for the project and her willingness to commit the necessary Agency resources to complete the project. Because the Review Board is now in the final twelve months of its statutory tenure, I thought it would be appropriate to advise you of our goals for the upcoming year. It is our wish to be able to state in our Final Report to the President and to Congress that CIA has made all reasonable attempts to locate, review, and declassify all available records on the Kennedy assassination. We would like the Review Board to be able to assure the American people that the Agency has been fully cooperative in this enormous and difficult task, and that the Agency no longer retains any secret files on the assassination. In addition, we are obligated to keep Congress informed, on a monthly basis, of the status of our work and any difficulties that would interfere with our ability to achieve our objective. Although many important strides have been made to further our goals, we nevertheless' perceive that the pace of review and declassification of Agency records will need to be BOARD MEMBERS: John R.
