SECRET
SUBJECT: Pending ARRB (JFK Board) Issues
11.  (S) LITAMIL-9 was a CIA penetration o    e u ari
bass . Unfortunately, his identity was indirectly and
inadvertently released in 1993 and, as a result, he was
identified in true name as a CIA agentf n John Newman's boOk,
nOswald and the CIA.) As of 1993, LIT  .-9 was still alive and
living in exi co City with family infCub.  To date, the ARRB
.     Board has agreed to protect his identity and crypt and delay the
release of his 201 file until the Agency could make some
.judgments about the potential damage created by the release on
additional documents with his name/crypt in them. That will now
occur at the May meeting of the Board. It is, however--unlikely
that the Board would agree to delay release until 2017 although
there is pr~ecedent for delaying release of records on individuals
for shorter periods or until death.
ISSUE 6 -- _ichard Gibson (CIA Asset
12.  (S) Richard Gibson, who presently lives in England, is
aeft wing journalist who was associated with the Fair Play For
Cuba-Cbttee (FPFCC), an entity to which Oswald wrote letters
nd claimed to be a member. Gibson did not become n Agency
sset until aft  the assassination; however, he had been of
interest to the FBI` -min~he headed the FPFCC. Unfortunately, a
ombination ofpevious releases ed to press reports in
d1994/1995 about his relationship- with the CIA. At that time, CIA
5fficers were dispatched to advise him about the possible
\compromise and promise him the very best attempt at protecting
1the relations ip.
1.(ST     Sinc-t-hen, the ARRB has agreed to delay the
e ease of any additional information until the Agency and FBI
1had determined the full extent of the files on Gibson and the
pptential damage. The issue is scheduled-for ARRB ac tion at the
May meeting and our objective is to release Gibson's role in the
JFK assassination story while protecting his relationship with
fthe Agency; however, the FBI has a four volume file which covers
)both FBI interest and Gibson's relationship withtheAgency. We
Swa lLbe wgr<kingin ndetaiLwith the ARRB staff and the FBI on this
approach
