104-10331-10367 JFK Assassination Records Archives 1 (3/23/1994)

handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch85864 and id is 1 raw text is: '104-10331-10367 2023 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 INTERNAL USE ONLY 23 March 1994 Memorandum For: C/HRG Subject: Nosenko and the Mangold Litigation I received a call from thy Kely , OGC, this morning concerning the Nosenko files in the JFK files. I described the files again (about 4000+ pages that include transcripts of all his interrogations and numerous studies on his bona fides and treatment by the Agency including the Solie and Hart reports and an 835 page comprehensive study). Since Nosenko is an important figure in the JFK assassination story and the files are part of the, sequestered collection, HRG is reviewing the files under the JFK Assassination Records Collections Act. However, we were aware that some of the documents were part of the Mangold litigation and wanted to make sure that they were properly coordinated. Kath said that the Mangold litigation should not be a V7 factor in HRG's review. If the files were subject to the JFK Records Act, they should be.processed under that Act. When the review is complete, a list of the documents released should be provide so that OGC can treat them the same in the Mangold case. I also talked with Kathy Stricker (yesterday) to get some background on the handling of Nosenko files and what were the secrets given what we know is publicly available. She said for years the agency glomared Nosenko except for the Oswald information: however, once Golitsyn became public that ended. Today, the battle over his bona fides and how he was treated are public knowledge. The Agency up until a couple years ago had not released some of the studies (she mention Solie) but she was not sure that this was still the case or if it was possible to continue to deny them. DO has / protected the information provided by Nosenko on other Soviet sources and leads for possible recruitment. This type of information should continue to be protected. Kathy Stricker's comments are consistent with HRG's handling of the Nosenko files. We are considering all of the files as related; his bona fides is a key element of the story and there was a large amount of information including parts of the studies on him in both the Oswald 201 and the JFK hard copy collection. We have deleted information provided on other sources and operations not related to the JFK story. We are also recommending release of the rest of the studies. Although they contain potentially embarrassing information for the Agency (as did the IG report on the Castro plots), there doesn't appear to be grounds for denying under the JFK Act.
