      2.  ON 22 MARCH WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE PRESIDENTIALLY
*APPOINTED<JFK ASSASSINATION>RECORDS REVIEW BOARD. HAS DECLARED ITS
INTENTION  TO RELEASE THE FACT THAT CIA HAD A STATION IN TOKYO IN
THE  EARLY 1960'S.  APPARENTLY THERE IS SOME CORRESPONDENCE OR
CABLE  TRAFFIC FROM THE EARLY 1960'S ON THE SUBJECT THAT INCLUDES
TOKYO  STATION ON THE DISTRIBUTION LINE.  WE HAVE NOT YET SEEN THE
ACTUAL  TRAFFIC BUT WE HAVE BEEN TASKK S ON
HOW  THIS ACTION WOULD AFFECT CURRENT
RELATIONSHIPS                    AMERICAN RELATIONS, ETC.  GIVEN
THE  PRESS SCRUTINY                         THERE IS NO DOUBT IN
OUR  MIND.THAT-SUCH A RELEASE WILL BE NOTICED BY THE

 POSSIBLE.  WE RECOMMEND THAT QUOTES FROM AMBASSADOR MONDALE,
 SUPPORTING           POSITION, SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED.  ACCORDING
 TO THE INFORMATION PROVIDED US, THE ADDO HAS ADDRESSED THE BOARD
 TWICE, MOST. RECENTLY LAST MONDAY WHEN HE BRIEFED THEM ON WHY WE
 CANNOT REVEAL OUR INSTALLATIONS
           EVEN 30 YEARS AGO.  THE BOARD ACCEPTED OUR ARGUMENTS ON
                       BUT REJECTED             ONCE THE BOARD
 OVERRULES US, OUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO APPEAL TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

      4.  ONCE WE HAVE           ARGUMENTS IN HAND WE WILL PREPARE
 THE NECESSARY MEMORANDUMS TO SUPPORT YOUR POSITION.  FOR THE SAKE
 OF STRUCTURE, WE ASK THAT YOU ORGANIZE YOUR ARGUMENTS ALONG
