handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch85090 and id is 1 raw text is: 104-10331-10201 2023 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 SECRET -CL BY: 427 CL REASON: Section 1.5 C DECL ON: X1 DRv FRM: HUM 4-82 From the Desk of Lee S. Strickland Chief, Information Review Group / CIA NOTE FOR: Donald R. Cryer@DO FROM: Lee S. Strickland OFFICE: OIM DATE: 09/29/98 11:39:08 AM SUBJECT: URGENT: Points for DDO Decision re JFK Board Don, As you know, OIM has been working with the JFK Board to ensure that all critical DO equities are protected despite the Board's penchant to release everything even remotely related to the JFK assassination. However, in the last few days of the Board's tenure, their demands have become more strident and we need your approval on the following strategies for negotiations today. 1. The Walt Elder document. This is a summary of the Agency's entry into the French Embassy in Washingtoniwith iden substituted for the words 'rench and the name of their intell rep. The details lftinthe document reveal that it was an entry in Washington We believe we may b le to have the Board defer release if we provide an oral, clasified briefing on the facts to the 5 cleared Board members - as we have on several other occasions this year on other matters. If you approve this classified briefing, we would also advise the Board that if they do not agree to defer, we will, without question, recommend an appeal to the President. 2. The Mexico City Station History. Largely agreed, the sticking pdonts are a few segments which contain the root part of the relevant crypt (LICASA) and other details which reflect that our asset was the code clerk and that we got lots of good stuff, etc.) We ask your concurrence to compromise on the base of the crypt (CASA) since it reveals nothing more than has already been released BUT stand fast and firm on the details of the source nd the goodness of the take and tell the Board -- nicely of course -- that they may release CASA but we will gango to tfi resident on the remainder. 3. The Administrative Traffic. Surely one of their more ridiculous demands. However, they have the authority and the precedent since the FBI gave them tons of such material. They want every scrap of paper which documents the Agency's processing of the Board's requests. It could cover, for example, all of my and your e-mail which concerns the Board. We would like to say no and seek their agreement by addressing only the 57 cables which concern our (and the Board's interaction)(with the (Mexican service on their requests AND the 5 underlying declarations that were completed recently and whicWoh drmed the basis for the ExDir's public declaration. Each of these documents would be properly redacted before release. This is a prudent compromise in my view since it well preserves the CIA's SECRET
