2022 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992
15 September 1977
MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Information Services Staff
FROM         : Charles A. Briggs
DDO Information Review Officer
SUBJECT     - : Appreciation
1. As you know well, on September 19th, 1 turn over,
responsibility for release or denial of DDO documents -under
the Freedom o-f Information hnd, Pr~iacy' Acts. The experience
has been both frustrating and chal-lenging, epitomizing the
j      issues in transition from'a totally classified past to a new
intelligence environment yet to be defined. The tension in
1      law between protection of sources and methods and-more open
government was, apparent,- dai-y, to those involved; good case - -
law was made -as we sought to adhere, to both principles and
to regain, through this process,' some credibility for the
Agency.
2. I've tried in the past to convey my appreciation
for the truly magnificent support I got from what is now
the Privacy and Information Action Group, through recoramenda-
tions for the Unit Citation subsequently awarded by the DCI,
through QSI's. and promofions, and through personal comment.
All have worked long hard hours and all, those now in PIAG
-       and those who have left; deserve credit for their professional
efforts in this arena; I want to express my thanks to you for
the assistance your people gave to me as the DDO Information
Review Officer.
3. At the risk of being unfair to some who are pore
recent arrivals, I want to express particular and very
personal thanks to Win Brown, Cis Cass, Lou Dube, -Mary Felton,
Doris LeBaron, Fred McCann, Karen Rice, Helen Stilson, Jon
Wolfe and Mack Wobd.
4. My -debt to Fred Randall                has been
made a matter of record on seve.ra occasions.  et -me just
-note here that any supervisor who has had the kind of
qualitatiie backing that' those two gentlemen gave me is
fortunate indeed.
For OPF, Randall, Frederick
