SECRET                     DD/O /   '
MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, JFK Assassination Records Review Board
FROM:            David Cohen
Deputy Director for Operations
SUBJECT:         Release of JFK Documents
1. I understand the JFK AARB is presently considering the
release of documents which would identify CIA stations to the
public. I am opposed in general to revealing the locations of
our stations and would prefer instead to substitute the station
name with a regional designation, e.g. European Station vice
Brussels. I would b® willing, however, to open certain stations
during a specific window of time if they are substantively
relevant to the assassination investigation and provided that the
documents in question are sanitizedt conceal the permanent
presence of the station? (S)                              -
2. In all but a handful of instances, public acknowledgment
of a station would be a political embarrassment to the host
government and would threaten ongoing sensitive operations and
liaison relationships. In a few instances, the damage probably
would be minimal or not at all as long as the presence appears to
be temporary. I have surveyed the involved components and
determined the damage to national security which would follow
such release. (S)
3. I strongly urge that you not allow the information
regarding the Congo and         to be released. The Congo is now
Zaire and the station in the 60's would have been in
Leopoldville, now Kinshasa
