Dear


           Your  Melbourne  Station has sought my  views
on the possibility of declassifying a Warren Commission
document  in which reference  is made  to the


                     The document  in question is CD.971
dated 22nd  May,  1964, together with an attachment dated  -
29th November,   1963.

           I would recommend strongly   that CD.971  and
its attachment should not on any account be  declassified or  -
publicly released for reasons which  include the following :


(I)    It has never been  officially.stated that there
       is a C.I.A.  Canberra   Slation or that
       there are C.I.,A.  officers Irn Australia.
       This has  been avoided  as. a point of policy.

(ii)   Publication of these facts would invoke a
      *sbate bf-  I stojefs byr 4fieFb Vind innihe
      Parliament,  which  wduld  be contrary to the
      national, security, interest, for example :


(a)


Who  approved  the establishment of
the C.I.A.  Canberra   Station?


(b) What  is its composition and location?

(c) What  is its purpose in Australia?
    (Allegations have already been  made
    that  C.I.A.  is interfering in
            domestic affairs.)

(d) With what Australian  agencies does it
    deal?
                 which  has not been
     publicly disclosed, could be brought
     into discussion.)

(e) With what  other foreign agencies does the
               deal?


(f) What              o      s there
    such  dealing,
