[20]Records Review Board, 16 October 1996 -
[22]REFERENCE: Memo for DCI fr C/HRG, dtd 13 June 96,
[23]Same Subject
[25](U) This memorandum provides background information for a
[26]meeting between you and the JFK Assassination Records Review Board
[27](ARRB), which is scheduled for 16 October 1996 in your office
[28]between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. The meeting was requested by ARRB
[29]Chairman, John Tunheim as a courtesy call.
[31](U) Background: Mr. Tunheim, recently appointed a federal =:
[33]judge in Minnesota, asked that he and the other four Board members
[35]have an opportunity to provide you with a brief description of the
[37]Board‘s purpose and activities. The Board's Executive Director,
[39]David Marwell, and General Counsel, Jeremy Gunn will also parti-
[41]cipate.: The .ARRB members were appointed by President Clinton in .
[43]°1993 as required by statute. Their principal responsibility is to
[45]ensure public disclosure of. all: government records related to the
[46]assassination of President Kennedy.
[48](FOUO) Topics the Board May Discuss: The Board probably
[49]will discuss their concern about whetHer they will be able to
[50]complete their work by the congressionally-imposed deadline of =
[51]October 1997. This concern relates to the very time-consuming
[52]process that the ARRB and its 30-person staff is obliged to use
[53]in reviewing all of the thousands of relevant documents that are
[54]redacted, which for CIA comprise the bulk of our documents.
[56](FOUO) The Board may also seek your personal commitment to
[57]continue the Agency’s dedication of resources--people and
[58]computer capability--to the review of JFK documents. CIA has
[59]worked closely with the Board and its staff from the beginning.

[72]SUBJECT: Courtesy Visit of JFK Assassination
[73]Records Review Board, 16 October 1996
[75]We have succeeded thus far in working out cooperative arrange-
[76]ments for resolving differences of opinion as to what information:
[77]can be released to the public and what should be withheld because
[78]of sensitivities.
[80](U) The Board may also express interest in gaining access to
[81]records that are not part of the JFK records (the sequestered
[82]collection), but which the Board regards as possibly containing
[83]useful background information or leads for further inquiry. We
[84]have released some 227,000 pages of relevant Agency records thus
[85]far and are continuing to collaborate with the Board to identify
[86]additional information that can be released. ;
[88](U) Suggested Talking Points: You may want to emphasize the
[89]Agency’s commitment to continuing the very positive relationship
[90]with the Board, including making people and computer expertise
[91]available to process relevant documents.
[93](S) You may want to assure the Board that CIA is determined
[94]to give the Board and designated staff full access to all assas~-
[95]sination records, as required by the JFK statute. At the same time,
[96]it would: be helpful to stress that there are certain categories of
[97]sensitive information that require continued protection and should
[98]not be released. Among the types of information contained in the
[99]JFK records tHat we need to protect are: ~
[101]~ Identities of agents and CIA officers who retired under’
[102]cover.
[104]- The Agency‘s relationships with liaison services, and
[105]information received from foreign governments.
[107]-- A specific example in this category is the-Agency ’ Ss
[108]current request ich meee Board to protect
[110]- Need to protect non-official cover.
[111]-~ The Board is planning at its 15-16 October meeting
[112]to review documents that identify (companies /that
[113]provided (Commercial cover} We are arranging to have
[114]the DO brief the Board on “the potential damage to the
[115]non-official cover program and involved if
[116]such cover is compromised. .

[458]DAVID G. MARWELL
[460]Biographical Informaton
[462]On July 1, 1994, the Berlin Document Center (BDC) was transferred to tie German
[463]Federal Archives (Bundesarchiv) marking the end of nearly 48 years of American control
[464]of this unique organization. With an esumated 25 million Nazi-era personnel -related files,
[465]the BDC was once a crucial source.of evidence for the Nuremberg Tnals and is today an
[466]incalculably important source for the study of the Third Reich. The transfer also marked
[467]the end of David Manvell’s tenure as Director of the BDC.
[469]A well-trained scholar with a PH.D. in History, Marwell came to Berlin in 1988 from
[470]the Office of Special Investigations (OSI), U.S. Department of Justice where he held the
[471]position of Chief of Investigative Research. At OSI, he was involved in researching and
[472]preparing cases against accused Nazi war criminals residing in the United States. In
[473]addition, he was selected to participate in the Klaus Barbie Investigation (1983) and played
[475]a major role in the Josef Mengcele investigation (1985), both of which received
[476]international attention.
[478]In connection with the Joseph Mcengele and Klaus Barbic invesugauions, Marwcll was
[479]in charge of assembling all relevant documentary evidence relating to any possible
[480]connection between these individuals and U.S. institutions or personnel. The
[481]investigations were two of the most unusual ever undertaken and through them he gained
[482]siginificant experiences in the identifying and locating documentary resources. The former
[483]Director of OSI, Allan A. Ryan, Jr., in his book Quiet Neighbors: Prosecuting Nazi War
[484]Criminals in America, descnbed Marwell as “an experienced and careful histonan who
[485]could find documenté i in archives when no one else could.”
[487]When Marwell arrived at the Document Center, the institution had been rocked by a
[488]scandal involving a significant theft of documents. The resulting focus on the Center
[490]_ revealed that it had been negiccted in many areas for many ycars and suffered from an
[492]outmoded administrative structure, a disaffected and undertrained staff-and a lack of
[494]professional guidance. It was Marwell’s job to bring the Center up to standard and prepare
[495]it for tumover to the German govemment. +
[496]r
[498]The challenges facing Marwell were not only to manage a complex insutugon (with
[499]an annual budget of cigtt million deutschmarks) and repair past deficiencies, but also to
[501]define a future for an institution in transition. He prepared a “five vear plain” for the BDC
[503]that set five goals, developed a corresponding program to meet cach goal. and designed a
[504]system to monitor the progress. In achieving all of the goals. Marwell -
[506]Introduced computer technology (there was not a single computer at the
[507]BDC when he arrived) and developed a sophisticated, integrated infonnation
[509]retricval system that has been described as a mode} for archive
