                   FROM:              John F. Pereira
                   OFFICE:            CSIIHRG

                   SUBJECT:           CSI Resource Request regarding JFK

                   In Brian Latell's absence, I am providing the following response to the Exdir's questions regarding the request for additional resources for
                   review of JFK documents:

                   1. What is the size of the JFK declassification problem ? How much work remains to be done ?

                     - An additional 40-50,000 pages of CIA records remain to be reviewed by 30 September
                       1998.

                     - A large volume of documents are being referred to CIA by other agencies for review,
                       including the FBI, State, and Presidential Libraries.x The documents are either CIA-originated
                       or contain CIA information. No figures are available, but we estimate at least 40,000 pages.

                     -The JFK Board has also asked CIA to re-review approximately 130,000 pages of material that
                       we released earlier to the National Archives. The reason is to determine whether
                       information deleted earlier can now be released.

                   2. How many  people do you have working on the JFK project now ?

                     - Following are dedicated to the JFK project:

                          - One staff officer (Project leader Barry Harrelson)
                          - - 13 independent contractors (work 314 days per week)

                     -The 00 unit detailed to CSI to coordinate the review of JFK records recently added two
                     contractors and may  add more.

                   3. What difference would X more make ?

                     - The additional resources requested would allow us to increase the pace of the review of
                     CIA  documents  and third agency referrals. Unless the pace is increased, it is highly unlikely
                     that the Board's requirement to complete the review and declassification of all JFK-related
                     records by 30 September  1998 could be met.
