        SUBJECT:         JFK Board Request for Transfer
                         of CIA Documents


             (U) This memorandum is for your information. It summarizes
        arrangements between CIA and the JFK Assassination Records Review
        Board (ARRB) to transfer certain CIA records to the Board's
        offices.

             (FOUO) Background:.During a meeting with you on 16 October,
        ARRB Chairman John Tunheim requested that the Agency transfer a
        large quantity of records related to the JFK assassination.  The
        request was based on the Board's need to have the documents--
        totaling approximately 190,000 pages--reviewed by the Board's
        staff.  Judge Tunheim and other Board members consider it
        unworkable for their staff to review the documents in the
      Ed Building, to which the records would be moved
        when the Center for the Study of Intelligence moves there in mid-
        November.

             (C) The principal issue raised by the request is one of
        control over and protection of the sensitive CIA (mainly DO)
        records once they are transferred to the Board's offices in the
        District at 600 E Street, N.W.  The Board has agreed tb construct
        a dedicated secure facility (SCIF), access to which would be
        controlled by Agency personnel.                DCI Area Security
        Officer, has conducted a preliminary survey of the space where
        the 'SCIF would be located, and concludes that the proposed
        security arrangements would be acceptable.

             (FOUO) A second issue concerns funding for the construction
        of the SCIF.  There would also be additional costs for

                                                CL REASON:   175 (5)
