           MEMORANDUM FOR:  Executive Director

           FROM:            Director, Center for The Study of
                            Intelligence

           SUBJECT:         Newly Released JFK Assassination Records



                 1. This memorandum is in response to your request for
           information  on recently released JFK assassination r 6ords.
           (U)

                 2. The documents released by the JFK Assassination
           Records Board  over the past three months cover Lee Harvey
           Oswald's trip  to Mexico City in September-October 1963. The
           basic  information on this subject was released by the Agency
           in  1992/93. The  latest releases do not contain significant
           revelations;  they primarily fill in gaps and add details to
           a known  story.  (U)

                 3. The  new information in these releases is the
           official  confirmation of CIA's unilateral telephone tap
           operations  against the Soviet and Cuban Embassies in Mexico
           City.  However, we are stl   pr1al        s   rt    on
                 ion -with the Mexican governmea   The exis enc~e Kf
            intercepted Oswald phone cals  as  een reported in the
            press for years, and the transcripts of these calls have
            been available at the National Archives since 1993. Most
            of the other new releases are pseudonyms and aliases of
            employees, document and file numbers, and cryptonyms. (S)

                 4.  The Board has released some information that we
            initially preferred to protect, e.g., details on some
            operations and sources and the names of heveral Agency
            employees.  To date, we have concluded that the damage to
            national secdrity or risk to these individuals was not
            sufficient to justify an appeal of the Board's decisions.
            (U)
                 5.  The Board and its staff have been cooperative in
            reconsidering issues and tabling documents in response to
            our concerns.  The issue of whether to release certain staff
            employee names has been tabled until December to give the
            Agency an opportunity to contact the individuals concerned.
