                                       SECRET


                                                    September 12, 1995
                                                    WORKING PAPER

            Notes from meeting w/ ARRB staff Sept. 11, 1995




            Issue:    Presentation to Board at Sept. 20/21 meeting

            It was agreed that STATIONS would be the focus of. the
            presentation -- 10:00 am, 20 Sept., one hour.

            Marwell recommended providing evidence of bilateral
            agreements as well as identifying current harm. Said that
            the Board was leaning strongly toward releasing stat pas,
            particularly those in Europe.

            Mary pointed out that there were still issues on the Mexico
            City station window.  There are documents from the 50s,
            references in summaries to the founding of the station and,
            most important, the visit by the HSCA to Mexico City.

            Ellie said there was the possibility of opening windows of
            stations when Oswald was present, however, this was a key
            issue for the Agency and a senior Directorate/Agency
            decision.  She indicated that the DO would oppose expanding
            the Mexico City window.

            As for the older documents, we pointed out that we had
            already agreed to the release of those documents.


            Marwell suggest that the 20 Sept. presentation would be a
            good opportunity to address the Private Line and other Tel
            Taps issue rather than requesting a separate meeting.

            After the meeting Marwell elaborated on the presentation.
            He said to try to avoid going. over old ground (US-Mexico
            relationship); when possible provide specific/hard evidence
            (bilateral agreements carry weight); war-stories do not go
            over well. He emphasized the importance. of using the
            language of the law especially when citing harm.  He
            specifically mentioned Sec. 6. (B){copy attached} which sets
            a standard of interfere with the conduct of intelligence
            activities.


            [Note: In a previous meeting with Gunn, he stressed similar
            themes including avoiding what he called chicken little
            arguments.  He also raised the question on sensitivity of
            acknowledging we had a station in Moscow during the 60s.
            It would have been logical to have one during the Cold
            War. ]
