handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch83990 and id is 1 raw text is: '104-10331-10318 2023 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 Secret - Working Paper Notes from Briefing of ARRB Staff on Stations (11 October 1995 - ARRB conf. room) CIA Attendees: Bill McNair Lee Carle John Goins Chuck Briggs Hal Bean Barry Harrelson Bill re Stations: No problem with release of COS, fact we have overseas locations, CIA representatives in specific countries -- the problem comes with officially acknowledging the stations thereby putting the host government and service in a position of explaining why it is allowing a foreign espionage unit to operate in the country. This may become a serious political issue for the government, especially in countries where the government does not acknowledge its own service. Also can be perceived as rubbing their nose in it and can effect the trust between the Agency and the host service (violated agreement of confidentially). Marwell pointed out that this information was 30 years old and ask what was the impact of acknowledging a station presence in 1963 on current operations or relations. Bill responded opened up old sores and cited and the sensitivity to our involvement in past election. Mentioned the reaction to the announcement on covert actions by .DCI. Gunn ask if stations = liaison relationship; Bill said the other service can not say it did not know the CIA was operation in its own country - - would look incompetent. Mary ask about changes in gov rnment,, ill responded that intel -types tend to stay ow or its revolving door where a good ill be back in power at some point. Bill comments on specific stations It important to the story such as Mexico City and the surrounding stations which were involved in the cable exchanges re Oswald, then will release. Don't take it away from us for little or no gain to the story, I. e. if not critical to the story let us protect. He indicated he could live with opening the stations for short windows if important to story, but also said it created a problem about protecting other activities in that window Secret
