2025 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992
2/108
A
MEMORANDUM FOR: General Counsel
SUBJECT
:
Declassification of Warren Commission
Documents
1. In accordance with existing arrangements, we
have been asked by the National Archives to review four
Warren Commission documents for possible declassification.
One of the documents is classified in its entirety,
whereas only certain segments of the others remain in
classified status. Copies of the affected materials
are attached..
2. We see no reason to continue the restriction
on document B. Similarly, document A would normally
require no further withholding from the public domain,
but we checked with Mr. David Murphy, an Agency official
under Department of State cover) and he requested that
his true affiliation not be revealed at this time. He
32
is still under cover and uncoordinated revelation of his
true status could become an embarrassment to the (Department.)
3. Documents C and D would go beyond what we want
to release now about our dealings with defectors and the
determination of their legitimacy.
4. A suggested reply to National Archives is
attached. We recommend your signature.
