                                                         13 April 1992

          MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD:

          FROM:            John Carver

          SUBJECT:         Problem of the Oswald 201 Files


               John Pereira asked me last Friday to go ahead and order up
          the first eiahk bnx-s of the Oswald 201 files from IMS.  I
          called         J     who told me he'd have.to talk it over with
          Fred Wickham and get back to me.  Fred Wickham, C/IMS/MPG, had
          earlier told me that OCA is custodian for these files, and that
          he would need a go-ahead from OCA.  I have calleP
          several times a day recently about this, but he's been-too busy
          to catch.

               This  orning,[             of IMS called to tell me that
          DO will require a writen  menorandum from OCA authorizing any
          transfer of any part of the Kennedy Assassination Files.  The
          addressee for this memo:

                           Fred Wickham
                           Chief, IMS/MPG
                           ID4107 OHB

          He also said that DO would really not relish sending us any
          original files.  He reminded me that DO has made copies of the
          whole, and he could specifically offer me the redacted copy of
          any file, plus a copy of the original, so we could immediately
          see what DO.had determined in its own review.  (This would
          undoubtedly give us a leg up, letting us pretty well ignore
          anything DO hadn't deleted and concentrate on judging their
          deletions in light of the new rules.  It would also hide any
          document in the original files.DO doesn't want us to see.)
                      [further invited us to come over to his shop and
          take a look at the files there.  (It does appear that DO is
          nervous about letting any of this material leave DO control,
          for reasons which are not yet clear.)

                            called me at 0812 today, just before I got
          in.  When I        back about 0822, he had already gone into a
          meeting, so I'll have to keep trying.

               Finally got him at 0850.  Told him about the requirement
          for a memo from OCA.  Also about DO's pteference for handling
          our review in their quarters, with their copies of the
          originals.  He told me that this is apparently part of a
          larger problem.  He'll have to get in touch with Ken McDonald
          and John Pereira about this and will get back to me, probably
          tomorrow.  Was glad we're gearing.up to start this project.
