MEMORANDUM FOR: JFK Assassination Records Review Board
VIA:             Associate Deputy Director for Operations
Associate Deputy Director for Operations/Human
Resources and Programs
FROM:           EricL. Qualkenbusi>
Chief, Office of Central Cover
SUBJECT:         Proposed CIA Name Release
1. The Agency strongly objects to the release of names of
individuals presently'under cover, whether active employees or
separated employees. As described below, this action would
breach Agency commitments to these individuals who agreed to work
under cover in addition to breaching our obligations to the cover
providers.
2. Employees sign a secrecy agreement (Attachment A) upon
entering on duty with the Agency. This agreement pledges- the
employee's secrecy to information which is classified and has not
been publicly acknowledged by the Agency and requires the
employee to protect such information from unauthorized
disclosure. This secrecy agreement, as long as it remains in-
force by mutual agreement, obliges CIA to protect the identities
of Agency employees, our cover providers and covert activities.
3. Because this secrecy agreement creates a moral as well
as legal bond between the Agency and the employe; it is Agency y
policy to protect the names of former employees who have.
separated under cover unless the Agency and the employee mutually
agree to remove the cover. Identifying as CIA those employees.
who are mandated by the Aaencv to use a cover story; i.
or `fortheir entire
Agency career as well as iiito^theii years after rseparation from
the Agency, jeopardizes:
e  the personal safety of former employees;
