                      Dear   '/e


                                Your  'Mel4 bou -SeStitkmnj has sought my views
                     on  the possibility of declassifying a Warren Commission
                     document  in which  reference is made  to the. K44talan>
                     sematy-servide-. The document in question is CD 9_772
                     :dated:22d  May-196; together with   an  attachment dated
                     j 29thfNovember;,_126.3.

                                I would recommend   strongly that CAD.9 7 and
                     its attachment should not on any account be declassified or
                     publicly released for reasons which  include the following :

                         .(I)   It has never been  officially stated that there
                                is a C.I.A.  Canb:erra  Station or that
                                there are C.I.A.  .officers in 'AustWai:a_
                                This has  been avoided as  a point of policy.

                         )      Publication of these facts would invoke a
                               'spate of quiestion by the Prcss  and in ___
                               arlieiineit, which  would be  contrary to the
                               national security interest, for example :

                               (a)  Who  approved  the establishment of
                                    the 1C.I.A. C  nl3erirStationtI?

                                (b) What is its composition and location?

                                (c) What is its purpose in Austriaia?
                                    (Allegations have already been made
                                    that C.I.A.  is interfering in Aust`
                                    raliaii domestic affairs.)

                               (d) With what r ~asali)EF agencies does  it
                                   deal?
                                   (A7ST      , which  has not been
                                   publicly  disclosed, could be brought
                                   into  discussion.)

                               (e) With what  other foreign agencies does the
                                     i.. .' . deal?

                               (f) What  M:is erial/ control is there over
                                   such dealings?
