                                                         6 July 1998


            MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

            FROM:  J. Barry Harrelson
                     JFK Project Officer, HRP/OIM

            SUBJECT:  Meeting With ARRB Staff Director         Id   O  A/)


                 1.  At the request of Jeremy Gunn, ARRB Executive
            Director, I met with him and ARRB Staff members, Michelle
            Combs and Bob Skwirot on Friday 26 June 1998.  Also present
            were                and Denny Hess of the DDO group assigned
            to the JFK Project and a HRP contractor.

                 2.  Gunn had requested the meeting because of an
            impression that the Agency had found a new volume of 201
            file on Lee Harvey Oswald, one that neither he nor the Board
            had been made aware. Following my explanation of.the facts
            and his review of the documents in question, Gunn stated he
            was satisfied.  The 201 file in question is, in fact,
            Oswald's 201 which continues to exist and new documents are
            added to it as they arrive.  The fact there were additional
            Oswald documents not now within HRP for review and
            processing had come to my attention about two weeks earlier.
            I had directed the DO to determine what they were and  to
            make them available for our review.  That was in process
            while I was away June 22 through 25.

                 3.  There were nine new documents within the  file all
            of ,which are now available for processing. When we  first
            started the JFK project and secured the Oswald 201  for
            review, processing and release, newly arriving documents
            were to be sent to us.  In fact, we had added a document  to
            the file which had been sent to us per the arrangement but
            it was not in the 201.  Quite simply, the arrangement broke
            down, probably because of a change in personnel, and we  did
            not receive follow-on documents.

                 4.  A second area of concern was the fact we have
            within the collection Marina Oswalds 201 and it has been
            processed.. However, we did not have the original and  it was
            recently discovered by the DO.  It is a three volume  set and
            our concern was the ARRB would view the recent discovery  of
            the original as something  improper on our part. A  thorough
            review of both the original and the copy already processed
            determined that, except  for third agency documents, they are
            a mirror image, one to the other.  This circumstance  too was
            explained to Gunn who tested our review and was  satisfied
            that no harm was done.
