# SECRETOCC-95-14907 DEC 1995MEMORANDUM FOR: JFK Assassination Records Review BoardVIA: Associate Deputy Director for OperationsAssociate Deputy Director for Operations/HumanResources and ProgramsFROM: Eric L. QualkenbushChief, Office of Central CoverSUBJECT: Proposed CIA Name Release1.  The Agency strongly objects to the release of names of individuals presently under cover, whether active employees or separated employees. As described below, this action would breach Agency commitments to these individuals who agreed to work under cover in addition to breaching our obligations to the cover providers.2.  Employees sign a secrecy agreement (Attachment A) upon entering on duty with the Agency. This agreement pledges the employee's secrecy to information which is classified and has not been publicly acknowledged by the Agency and requires the employee to protect such information from unauthorized disclosure. This secrecy agreement, as long as it remains in force by mutual agreement, obliges CIA to protect the identities of Agency employees, our cover providers and covert activities.3.  Because this secrecy agreement creates a moral as well as legal bond between the Agency and the employee, it is Agency policy to protect the names of former employees who have separated under cover unless the Agency and the employee mutually agree to remove the cover. Identifying as CIA those employees who are mandated by the Agency to use a cover story, i.e., Department of State or the "ABC" Corporation, for their entire Agency career as well as into their years after separation from the Agency, jeopardizes:*   the personal safety of former employees;WARNING NOTICEINTELLIGENCE SOURCESOR METHODS INVOLVEDCL 0489932CL REASON: 1.5 (c)DECL ON: X1DRV FROM: COV 2-87SECRET

Examples of how identifying covert employees as CIA will affect individuals follows:*   Mr. Walter McCabe retired under Department of State cover and is currently working in Russia and several Eastern European countries for a private firm which converts "wartime" factories into peacetime use. Revealing his name would damage his relationship with his current employer, his position with the firm and would be awkward at best regarding the host countries. Attachment B is Mr. McCabe's acknowledgement that he was aware he would be denied as a CIA employee and Attachment C is his signed secrecy agreement.*   Attachment D is a signed ackowledgement from Mr. John Whitten who retired under cover in 1970 which shows that he was aware that he would be denied as an employee of the Central Intelligence Agency from the date he entered on duty through the date of his departure. Attachment E is a personal letter received from Mr. Whitten after he was notified that his name might be released in connection with declassification of CIA documents. Attachment Fis Mr. Whitten's signed secrecy agreement. It should be noted that Mr. Whitten resides in Austria.*   Attachment G is a Summary of Agency Employment (SAE) written by Mr. Morton M. Palmer and approved by the Agency. Attachment H is a certification by Mr. Palmer that he will abide by what is contained in his SAE and understands disclosure of other information would be in violation of his secrecy2SECRET

13-00000SECRET'SUBJECT: Memo to JFK Assassination Records Review Boardagreement. Attachment I is Mr. Palmer's signedsecrecy agreement. It should be noted that Mr.Palmer resides in Mexico.5. Our relationship with cover providers would be   jeopardized if it became publicly known that they were providing   cover to CIA employees. The Department of State could very well   raise objections to our future use of State cover. Of increasing   importance to the Agency at this time is the critical use of   private sector (nonofficial) cover providers. The private sector   would no doubt drop contact and avoid future dealings with us if   we reveal a covert relationship. Identifying covert   relationships with cover providers would paralyze Agency   operations which in turn could severely damage national security.   In addition, in the past it has exposed CIA to legal liabilities   and substantial monetary damages.6. Headquarters Regulation (HR) 240-1 is the Agency's   regulation on cover. It states that "cover is required for all   Agency operations, activities and installations abroad, including   personnel in PCS or TDY status." HR 240-2, the Agency's   regulation on cover after separation, states that "the   determination that an employee will retain all or a part of his   or her cover after separation from the Agency will be based upon   the judgment that separation in an overt status could result in   damage to the national security by compromising intelligence   sources, methods, activities, and/or information, or cause harm   to foreign relations. This determination will be made on a case-   by-case basis." Please note that all Agency employees who retire   abroad must retire under cover.7. Release of names of former employees who separated under   cover will make the entire Agency cover program vulnerable and   detract from our continuing efforts to enhance cover and conduct   sometimes dangerous activities necessary to carry out the   Agency's mission. We can accept the purpose of the JFK   Assassination Records Review Act to declassify documents for   public consumption; however, we submit that the release of true   names of former Agency employees adds no value to the documents   in addition to risking physical harm to these individuals from   our public detractors. We propose and emphatically encourage   that pseudonyms, aliases or generic job descriptions such as desk   officer be used in place of true names which would not diminish   the impact of the documents.3SECRET

Is the individual a current or former CIA employee? If so, in what capacity did that individual serve, and did he or she serve overtly or covertly? If currently a retired CIA employee, did the individual retire under cover?2. If not a CIA officer, did the individual serve CIA as an agent or asset or in any other capacity?3. Is the individual alive or dead? If alive, where is he or she residing, and what is his or her current activity?4. What specific and compelling danger would release of this individual's true name pose to him or her at this time?Of course, you do not need to do anything other than identify those individuals whose true names CIA no longer seeks to protect.- Secret Attachment -From the desk of...Noelle C.
