                  SUBJECT:                              Priority Requests from ARRB Staff

                  REFERENCE-

                  REQUESTS:

                  1.  The ARRB Staff is planning to interview Russ Holmes about his JFK. Ancillary (working) Files. Dave Marwell has requested that
                  Holmes  he given on one day clearance so that he can look to the files. How do you want to handle?

                  2.  Has David Vance Vanek  (SSi               ever worked for the Agency (DO)? Vanek is an army officer who served in
                  Thailand and Vietnam; could have been detailed to Agency. He figures in one of the conspiracy theories that the ARRB staff is currently
                  taking depositions on. Can DO check or is this an OP issue -- we have not had a lot of luck with OP. Initially the ARRB staff was going
                  to make this a formal request, but agreed to hold off for the moment. The theory involves counter-terrorism training and the death of an
                  American with knowledge of JFK assassination.

                  3. Agency  Officers in Moscow:  The ARRB  staff is researching Oswald's contacts in Moscow. The records shows that he came into
                  contact with other Americans besides Snyder (the Consular Officer). Gunn requested a list of the CIA officers in Moscow a few weeks
                  ago.  Based on discussions with Ellie, etc., I told him a list did not exist and would be considered very sensitive if we did prepare one. I
                  ask him to be more specific, if he had names, we would check against Agency records. Since then his staff has located a list of senior
                  officers in Moscow prepared for the HSCA (Eileen has copy). He has now resurrected his requests. Let discuss the next step.

                  4. Did Mrs. G. Stanley Brown (Verna Deane Stebbens  Brown, born 12 August 1928) work  for the Agency; what was her status
                  when  she was  in Moscow  as Embassy  receptionistisecretary? She is the wife of George Stanley Brown, an Agency employee from
                  1952-1962.   According to the ARRB staff, she had contact with Oswald (see item #3).

                  I will give you a call on Friday to discuss our responses to the above request..
