     Re:  JFK.Assassination Records Collection  Act of 1992

Dear Mr. Tunheim:

     This will respond to your 14 September  1998 letter regarding
Central Intelligence Agency compliance. with the JFK Act.

     I have no doubt whatsoever that the CIA has  fully met its
obligations to locate, review, and release  assassination
.records as defined in the JFK Act. The Agency's  2 September
1998 Declaration of Compliance-signed, as you  note, by CIA's
Director of Information Management, Edmund Cohen-confirms  my
judgment.  I have  full confidence in the scope of the Agency's
searches as described in Mr. Cohen's recent declaration.

     As Director of  Information Management, Mr. Cohen is directly
responsible for CIA's records systems and  for ensuring the
adequacy of CIA's search, review, and release  of documents under
the JFK Act.  Mr. Cohen signed  the Agency's Declaration of
Compliance because he was  the most senior Agency official with
direct personal knowledge  that its statements were accurate and
complete.  There was no more appropriate signatpry.

     In sum,  I understand that the appropriate CIA staff officers
have worked diligently  to locate and disclose to the JFK Board
all -relevant records in the Agency's possession and that they do
not believe any other relevant records are being  withheld from
the Board.  Mr. Cohen's declaration confirms my  understanding.

     I trust  that this will meet your requirements.


  Sincerely,




Geor e J. Tenet
