     Re:  JFK Assassination  Records Collection Act of 1992

Dear Mr. Tunheim:

     This will  respond to your 14 September 1998 letter regarding
Central Intelligence  Agency compliance with the JFK Act.'

     I have no  doubt whatsoever that the CIA has fully met its
obligations to  locate, review, and release assassination
records as defined  in the JFK Act.  The Agency's 2 September
1998 Declaration  of Compliance-signed, as you note, by CIA's
Director of Information. Management, Edmund Cohen-confirms my
judgment.  I have  full confidence in the scope of the Agency's
searches as described  in Mr. Cohen's recent declaration.

     As Director  of Information Management, Mr. Cohen is directly
responsible  for CIA's records systems and for ensuring the
adequacy of CIA's  search, review, and release of documents under
the JFK Act.   Mr. Cohen signed the Agency's Declaration of
Compliance because  he was the most senior Agency official with
direct personal  knowledge that its statements were accurate and
complete.  There  was no more appropriate signatory.

      In sum, I understand that the appropriate CIA staff cfficers
have worked diligently  to locate and disclose to the JFK Board
all  relevant records in the Agency's possession and that they do
not believe  any other relevant records are being withheld from
the  Board. Mr.  Cohen's declaration confirms my understanding.

      I trust that this will meet your requirements.

                                    Sincerely,




                                  Geor e J. Tenet
