104-10331-10083 JFK Assassination Records Archives 1 (1/11/1996)

handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch85086 and id is 1 raw text is: 104-10331-10083 2023 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 Secret 11 January 1996 Memorandum for the Record Subject: ARRB Meeting 5 January 1996 Reference: Meeting with David Marwell, Jeremy Gunn and Mary McAuliffe, 3:00 p.m., 5 January 1996. 1. The Board acted on 35 plus documents (Mary did not :v have final count). They released the six additional stations that we had requested be protected: Rome Madrid Brussels Copenhagen so S c o2 m. eHesinkiand the Hague were released again. Qcrusalem was tabled pending addition information. London, Ottawa and- Paris were also released in this.set of documents. In addition there are references to ison con ac and traces released in several of the documents. The Agency's recommendations on digraph and file numbers were upheld. Mary said, beyond these issues, there were no serious problems in this set of documents. 2. I ask how the Board would react to a window approach to the issue of releasing stations. Gunn said there appears to be support for such an approach. However, the window would have to be wider than Nov./Dec. 1963. He suggested expanding the window to cover the Warren Commission period in 1964. If a document mentions Oswald, he expects the Board would lean toward releasing it regardless of the timeframe. 3. Gunn expressed concerned that our position was being eroded by the lack of a clear understanding of where the line is (i.e. the Agency's failure to appeal) and the failure to provide evidence/best information prior to the meeting of the Board. He felt that we may see some erosion in areas where the Board had accepted the Agency's postponements (digraphs, file numbers, liaison) . Several times, Marwell and Gunn returned to the issue of providing best information/defense upfront. If the staff is unable to answer questions about why the Agency is protecting or does not know what a particular item is, the Board takes this as a lack of evidence and leans toward release. rry Harrelson CL BY: 1 G CC: C/HRG, Ellie CL REASON: DECL ON: DRV FROMT: Secret
