[45]RE: ARRB Additional Information Request No.CIA-2
[46]Dear John: ’
[48]As you know, the ARRB Board at its May 19, 1995 meeting concluded that it required
[49]additional specific information before it could review the CLA records under discussion
[50]at this meeting. Based upon my discussions with you and with Barry Harrelson, I
[51]understand that the Historical Review Group can respond only to questions that draw
[52]upon information already on hand, and that any questions requiring further research
[53]will go to the components for a response.
[55]Since I understand from you and Barry that it will be faster if we divide those of our
[57]questions directed to the Historical Review Group from those directed to the
[58]components, we are submitting two separate lists for CIA’s response. List 1, which we
[59]are submitting to the Historical Review Group, asks basic questions about documents,
[60]including the Mexico chronology, which HRG has not previously addressed. List 2
[61]asks for the answers to questions about names, pseudonyms, and crypts that go beyond
[62]what we understand is HRG’s current available information.
[64]Since the ARRB Board will consider these documents at its June 7, 1995 meeting, we
[65]hope to have this information by then. Thank you for your continued cooperation, and
[66]we look forward to your response. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Jeremy Gunn
[67]for any clarification regarding these requests.
[69]Sincerely yours,

[601]Re: Status of Assassination Records Review Board Requests to CIA for
[602]Additional Information and Records :
[604]Dear Barry: -
[605]Iam writing to memorialize our conversation of October 1 regarding the status of
[606]Assassination Records Review Board requests for information and records from the
[607]CIA.
[608]We discussed the following formal requests: -
[609]CIA-1 (Organization materials)
[610]CIA has made records available to the Review Board. The Review Board
[611]staff will continue its review and make recommendations to the Board ~
[612]and will request further information, if necessary, from CLA. CIA needs to
[613]do nothing further at this time.
[614]CIA-2-5 Complete -
[615]CIA-6 (Cables and dispatches)
[616]CIA originally informed the Review Board staff that these materials could
[617]be made available by December, 1995. CIA now agrees to make the
[618]records available (or to have a response) by the first of November, 1996.
[620]CIA-7 (Histories)
[622]Mexico City. CIA has shown the Mexico City history to Gunn. CIA will
[623]compile the portion of the history that was shown to G. Robert Blakey,
[625]Boaro Memsens: John R. Tunheim, Chair + Henry F. Graff « Kermit L. Hall « William L. Joyce « Anna K. Nelson
[626]Executive Director: David G. Marwell
[628]13-00000
[630]Mr. Ba
[634]October 7, 1996
[636]Page 2
[638]which will be processed as an assassination record. Gunn will then
[639]determine whether there are any additional portions of the history that
[640]should be added to the Blakey version. CIA will compile the “Blakey
[641]version” as soon as possible and Gunn will promptly thereafter review the
[642]documents.
[644]Index. CIA has made an index available to Review Board staff and the
[645]staff has identified certain histories that may be appropriate for review.
[646]CIA will make available those histories that are of obvious relevance, and
[647]will raise with Review Board staff any questions regarding the requests
[648]where the basis for the request is unclear. CLA will begin to make
[649]histories available on a rolling basis. Review Board has agreed to review
[650]histories promptly once they are made available. Although it was not
[651]discussed at our meeting, we would very much appreciate it if you would,
[652]within the next two weeks, identify which histories you are prepared to
[653]make available and those that CIA believes should be subject to further
[654]discussions.
[656]Cram’s multi-volume counterintelligence history. Although Cram’s
[657]history was not specifically discussed at our meeting, the Review Board —
[658]staff understands that the history has been located and the Review Board
[659]staff awaits its being made available.
[660]CIA-8 (Intelligence community staff)
[661]CIA will provide a report to the Review Board staff within two weeks.
[662]CIA-9 (Publications and analytical materials) .
[663]The Review Board staff provided CIA with a list of certain publications as
[664]they appear in an LBJ Library finding aid. CIA willreport backon
[665]recommended action to the Review Board promptly.
[667]CIA-10 (Interagency source register)
[669]CIA has compiled information responsive to the request. CIA will make.
[670]records available within two weeks.
[672]CIA-11 (Duran’s original statement)
[674]13-00000
[676]Mr. Barry Harrelson
[677]October 7, 1996
[678]Page 3
[680]CIA has been unable to identify to date Duran’s original statement. CIA
[681]will make some further attempts to locate it.
[682]CIA-12 JMWAVE materials)
[683]CIA will begin to make materials available on a rolling basis.
[684]With respect to the informal requests, it is our understanding that:
[686]CIA is inquiring into matters related to Spas Raikin. The Review Board staff will
[687]discuss issues with CIA once the pending research is completed.
[689]CIA is locating a.cable number IN 24738 (7 July 62), which is identified in record
[690]number 1993.07.20.10.18:29:650630 (Box 34, F 22), p. 2.
[692]CIA is inquiring into matters related to Marilyn D. Murrett. The Review Board
[693]staff will discuss issues with CIA once the pending research is completed.
[695]CIA is continuing to search for HTLINGUAL records, particularly those
[696]identified in Church Committee index that was provided to CIA by Review
[697]Board staff. CIA is prepared to provide oral briefing on HTLINGUAL.
[699]Please let me know if you have any supplements or corrections. We would very much
[700]like to ensure that these matters are handled expeditiously.
[702]As always, thanks for your cooperation and assistance.
