Pereira Chief, CSI/HRG SUBJECT: Priority Request from Chairman, JFK Assassination Records Board 1. (S) The purpose of this memorandum is to advise you of a priority request from the Chairman of the JFK Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB). The request concerns records related to Lee Harvey Oswald that may be held by the Mexican Government. 2. (S) At his initiative, I met recently with the ARRB Chairman, Judge John Tunheim. He said the reason for the meeting was to ask that CIA assist the Board by making inquiries Ct to determine if the Mexican Government has certain records relate to Oswald's activities in Mexico in late 1963. Of particular interes to the Board is whether the Mexicans have copies operations, including coverage of Oswald's telephone c to t eSoviet Embassy. He said that locating such records is the highest priority of the Board. (The attached letter from the ARRB's General Counsel explains the Board's interest.) 3. (S) Earlier this year, the Board sought unsuccessfully to obtain information about Oswald from the Mexican Government via the State Department. (See attached cable.) Mexico responded by providing copies of the same material that had been made available to the Warren Commission in 1964. The problem for the Board was that, in making the remnant to Meio, it did not want to reveal information out the Board knew of from CIA records. Being sensitive to the Agency's request to protect this information, Tunheim would like the Agency to contact directly on the Board's behalf.
