# Assassination Records Review Board600 E Street NW ◼ 2nd Floor ◼ Washington, DC 20530May 30, 1995Mr. John PereiraDirectorHistorical Review GroupCenter for the Study of IntelligenceCentral Intelligence AgencyWashington, D.C. 20505RE: ARRB Additional Information Request No.CIA-2Dear John:As you know, the ARRB Board at its May 19, 1995 meeting concluded that it required additional specific information before it could review the CIA records under discussion at this meeting. Based upon my discussions with you and with Barry Harrelson, I understand that the Historical Review Group can respond only to questions that draw upon information already on hand, and that any questions requiring further research will go to the components for a response.Since I understand from you and Barry that it will be faster if we divide those of our questions directed to the Historical Review Group from those directed to the components, we are submitting two separate lists for CIA's response. List 1, which we are submitting to the Historical Review Group, asks basic questions about documents, including the Mexico chronology, which HRG has not previously addressed. List 2 asks for the answers to questions about names, pseudonyms, and crypts that go beyond what we understand is HRG's current available information.Since the ARRB Board will consider these documents at its June 7, 1995 meeting, we hope to have this information by then. Thank you for your continued cooperation, and we look forward to your response. Please do not hesitate to contact me or Jeremy Gunn for any clarification regarding these requests.Sincerely yours,![signature of David G. Marwell]David G. MarwellExecutive Director

# Assassination Records Review Board600 E.Street NW • 2nd Floor • Washington, DC 20530(202) 724-0088 • Fax: (202) 724-0457November 27, 1996VIA FACSIMILEThe Honorable John M. DeutchDirector of Central IntelligenceThe Central Intelligence AgencyWashington, D.C. 20505Re: The Central Intelligence Agency's Compliance with the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act, 44 U.S.C. § 2107Dear Mr. Deutch:Since 1994, the Assassination Records Review Board ("Review Board") has been working with a number of Federal agencies, including the Central Intelligence Agency, to locate and publicly release records related to the assassination of President Kennedy. These actions have been taken pursuant to The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, 44 U.S.C. § 2107 (Supp. V 1994) ("JFK Act"). We have been working with Mr. John Pereira, Chief, Historical Review Group and Mr. Barry Harrelson, Senior Review Officer, Historical Review Group of CIA and have appreciated the cooperation we have received.The purpose of this letter is to request your agency's cooperation in assisting the Review Board in discharging its responsibility of assuring Congress and the American people that the goals of the JFK Act have been accomplished to the greatest reasonable extent. We want to assure the American people that the United States Government has identified, located, and released all records relating to the assassination of President Kennedy. Indeed, one of the paramount purposes of the JFK Act is to certify to the public that the United States Government is not withholding relevant materials related to the assassination. See, e.g., *Assassination Materials Disclosure Act*, H. R. Rep. No. 102-625, Part 1, 102d Cong. 2d Sess. (1992) ("The Federal Government's failure to release official materials has contributed to numerous conspiracy theories and fueled charges of government complicity in the assassination...a salutary purpose is served in opening these files [relating to the JFK assassination ] to allay the suspicion of government cover-up.").BOARD MEMBERS: John R. Tunheim, Chair • Henry F. Graff • Kermit L. Hall • William L. Joyce • Anna K. NelsonEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: David G. Marwell
[104-10335-10008.pdf — page 2]
The Honorable John M. DeutchNovember 27, 1996Page 2The Review Board has recently considered how it, along with the relevant federal agencies, can best demonstrate to the American public that a thorough, good faith, and diligent effort has been made to locate and release all remaining assassination-related records within the control of the United States Government (and that the Government is not hiding any such materials from public disclosure). Pursuant to the Congressional mandate under the JFK Act to "create an enforceable, independent, and accountable process for the public disclosure of such records," 44 U.S.C. § 2107(2)(a)(3), the Review Board seeks to have the relevant federal agencies provide a complete and specific accounting of their efforts to locate and release assassination-related records, including a full explanation for any destruction of such records.Accordingly, the Review Board requests that each relevant agency adhere to the formal compliance program (hereinafter "JFK Act Compliance Program") outlined below and devised by the Review Board pursuant to its powers under Section 7(j)(1)(A), (B), (C), (D), and (F) of the JFK Act. We hereby request that you undertake the following measures by the dates provided (these dates were set in view of the fact that the Review Board's operations currently are scheduled to expire on September 30, 1997):1.  Designation of Agency Compliance Official (or officials) and statement of intent to comply with the JFK Act. We request that by December 9, 1996, your agency designate an Agency Compliance Official who ultimately will be responsible for ensuring that the agency has complied with its obligations under the JFK Act, including the identification, location, and organization of assassination records and the transmission of those records to the National Archives and Records Administration ("National Archives"). Although the Review Board assumes that Mr. John Pereira or Mr. Barry Harrelson will serve in this position, we nevertheless await your formal confirmation. If necessary, your agency may designate additional persons with knowledge of the measures that have been undertaken to locate assassination records.We also request that by December 9, 1996, the agency convey its agreement to adhere to the compliance procedures outlined in this letter. To the extent that any compliance procedure described below appears to be unreasonable or to present difficulties that we may not have anticipated, please explain why and make alternate suggestions to us.2.  Initial Statement of Compliance. We request that the Agency Compliance Official prepare, by January 6, 1997, an initial written statement of the
