104-10428-10007 JFK Assassination Records Archives 1 (12/10/1990)

handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch79577 and id is 1 raw text is: 104-10428-10007 2022 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 INTERNAL USE ONLY 10 December 1990 WORKING PAPER: SUBJECT: F81-0351- HSCA Equities 1. This is to discuss our handling of one of the more difficult and controversial areas involved in the processing of the HSCA material in the Allen litigation (F81-0351). Our area of concern involves the interpretation and treatment of the Congressional exemption, or, as usually referred to - the HSCA Equities exemption. The basic problem is the apparent contradiction between the court ordered Stipulation (C.A. No.81-2543), dated 10 June 1988, and instructions from the House of Representatives. In particular this pertains to Stipulation 3h, which enjoins the Agency to search for: Any records relating to any assignment by the CIA to an employee of the CIA to review, evaluate or assess any final or interim report by the HSCA. 2. Stipulation 3h would appear to be in direct conflict with instructions from the House of Representatives, as quoted in part from the following 2 documents: Rules of the House Select Committee on Assassinations, adopted 7 March 1977, as amended, Rule 10.8 : The chief counsel and deputy chief counsels shall have authority to designate materials and documents as sensitive. The contents of all such materials and documents, in addition to any materials or documents already classified or marked confidential by any agency or department of the U.S. Government, shall not be released or divulged in any way, form, shape or manner without the approval of the select committee or one of its subcommittees. Letter from HSCA Chairman Stokes to the DCI, dated 26 March 1979, paragraph 2, which reads in part: The purpose of this letter is to request specifically that this Congressional material and related information in a form connected with the Committee not be disclosed outside your Agency without the written concurrence of the House of Representatives. INTERNAL USE ONLY
