22  June 1999
MEMORANDUM FOR:         -Edmund Cohen
Director, OIM
FROM:                    J. Barry Harrelson
JFK Project Officer
OIM/HRP
SUBJECT:                 Status of Obligations under Memorandum of Understanding With the
Assassination Records Review Board
REFERENCE:               Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Continuing Obligations of the
CIA Under the JFK Act
On September 30, 1998, the Assassination Records Review Board, National Archives (NARA),
and the CIA signed a Memorandum of Understanding to clarify the CIA's obligations under the JFK Act in
view of the expiration of the Review Board's term on September 30, 1998. The MOU addresses ..
categories of documents and activities that the Review Board had agreed could be postponed beyond
September 1998. We have completed, or are on track to complete, most of these obligations by
September 1999; however, we have missed deadlines on a few items. We are working closely with
NARA in completing the JFK project, and I keep them apprised of our progress; our relationship with
NARA remains excellent Given the massive job that NARA has in processing the JFK collection, our
missed deadlines have not been a problem to NARA, nor have they delayed NARA's release of
information to the public. The following is a status report for each item listed in the MOU (numbers and
letters reflect references in the MOU):
3.    This section addresses assassination records in the CIA's JFK collection to be reviewed,
processed and transferred to NARA after September 30, 1998.
a. By October 30, 1998, the balance of non-duplicate documents from the CIA-HSCA Sequestered
Collection.
The bulk of these documents were provided within the October/November 1998 timeframe. As part-of
our duplicate processing, we are finding some non-duplicate documents that were missed during the
review for the Board or not acted on by the Board. These include a number of open in full documents
that were originally thought to be duplicates. We are including these documents in our duplicate
processing.
b. By September 30, 1999, the duplicate documents within the CIA-HSCA Sequestered Collection.
We are on track to complete by September 30. We have completed approximately 70% of the collection.
c. By December 31, 199 the duplicate documents within the working files of CIA officer Russ Holmes.
We completed the Russ Holmes files in January 1999. NARA recently opened this collection to the
public.
d. By September 30, 1999, 185 audio tapes of CIA surveillance of Soviet and Cuban diplomatic facilities
in Mexico City.
