DRE messages. The phrase, “To Howard” was used as the addressee of several DRE prepared memoranda. We first. attempted to identify if, in fact, “Howard” was an actual person. The name was not found to be a pseudonym. It also was not found to be a registered alias. It also is not the true name of any case officer associated with the DRE operation at the time the DRE documents were written. Following review of those data bases, knowledgeable case officers were queried suggested that the use of “To Howard” might have been nothing more than a routing indicator to ensure .that the documents got to the correct CIA office/officer or that the sender was someone known to the recipient. 5.

As I hope was clear, our new Office of Information Management is committed to ensuring that withholding determinations or postponement requests are made thoughtfully and only in the most compelling circumstances. Turning to a particular matter we discussed, you will recall that we offered to explore any avenues that might be open to facilitate the Board’s access to relevant Russian and Belarus records. Based on discussions with senior officials at the Department of Defense, we suggest that you contact Senator Robert (Bob) Smith (N.H.) who is a member of the Joint US-Russian POW/MIA Commission, which is also known as the Ambassador Toon Commission. He may be reached at: Room 307 -Dirkson Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 (202) 224-2841 In particular, we understand that the former head of the KGB (Primakov) will be visiting Washington in the near future and perhaps Senator Smith could intercede on your behalf and/or arrange an audience.

Executive Director Assassination Records Review Board 600 E Street, N.W. | Washington, D.C. 20530 Dear Mr. Gunn: Re: STATEMENT CONCERNING ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY PURSUANT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE JFK ASSASSINATION RECORDS COLLECTION ACT OF 1992 The following is a listing of the principal measures taken to date by the Agency to fulfill the requirements of the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. (the Act). Note: it does not include the numerous informal ; meetings, conversations, and exchanges between ARRB and HRP staff members, many of which covered all of the measures. INITIAL SEARCHES a. In early 1992, even before the Act was passéd, the ‘-Chief of the CIA History Staff reported to the Director that the staff had located all of the so-called “sequestered collection” (those records compiled by the Agency for the House Select Committee On Assassinations investigation) and had surveyed these and other related holdings on the assassination both at Headquarters and at the Agency records center. The sequestered collection contained sixty-four record center-size boxes. In addition, the staff had located sixteen boxes of Lee Oswald’s 201 file and a number of loose folders mainly from Mexico Station records that were collected for the Warren Commission. b. Before the ARRB was appointed by the President, John Pereira, Chief, Historical Review Group/Center for the Study of Intelligence, sent a memorandum dated 25 October 1993 to the Agency directorates requesting a name search on Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK assassination, and any documents related to the assassination. This effort and discussions with various Agency components and Agency Information Release Officers over the past four years resulted in more Docld: 327404096 Page 2?

The CIA is continuing to postpone the release of the aliase$ officially.registered for Anatoliy Golitsyn and his family. The Agency does not. want to officially acknowledge and link the name Golitsyn to this alias. To do so could jeopardize Golitsyn’s current relocation program, which in turn could cause harm to Golitsyn and his family. Further, the Agency does not want to endanger the current method of registering aliases. The agreements with various federal agencies and the methods of operations used in issuing aliases are current ones which are used on routine basis by the Agency. 46) 2. Regarding Mangold’s Cold Warrior, this book was not cleared by the Agency’s publication board. Further, the Agency has neither confirmed nor denied the text of this publication, therefore, it does not constitute an “official” release of information. It important to note that only Golitsyn’s first and last name in alias were: exposed in this book; not the full (first, middle, and last) names\of all three members of his family. & oe (§).3. Golitsyn has continued to adhere to the stipulations of his Memorandum of Agreement not to divulge his relationship with this | Agency. Given Golitsyn’s performance regarding secrecy to date, the Agency has an obligation to honor in kind by protecting the current identity of Golitsyn and his family. The recruitment of sources of high intelligence value has always been one of this Agency’s top . priorities. For individuals such as Golitsyn, who have placed their trust in the Agency by entering our relocation program, and are now US citizens, living in the US, the indiscriminate release of information seriously erodes this Agency’s credibility and undermines our programs.

“HW 53217 _ CON I, 13 August 1998 Ms. Laura Denk, Esq. Executive Director Assassination records Review Board 600 E Street, N.W. 2nd Floor Washington, D.C. 20530 Dear Ms. Denk: (C) Re: ARRB Request No. CIA-10, for Information on the Interagency Source Register (ISR) (U) The following is responsive to referent request. (C) The ISR is simply a device whéreby agencies within the intelligence community which recruit or deal with sources of foreign positive intelligence outside the United States try to keep from bumping into each other in the pursuit of such information. It is for the further purpose of ensuring a source cannot gain an unwarranted- advantage by dealing with more than one agency. Each agency is responsible for registering an individual as a source with the ISR before using the individual. (C) The ISR was established in 1957 by the Intelligence Advisory Committee, predecessor to the U.S.. Intelligence Board. The ISR was not used extensively during the years 1958-1965 and we know of no system or procedure which took its place. (C) The first ISR regulations were in the form of basic procedures each agency was to follow, procedures which have - -gone through a number of reiterations. ARRB staff members have reviewed the classified, current written instruction governing the existence and use of the ISR. (U). I believe that this information is fully responsive to your request on the ISR and accordingly, completes our work on CIA-10. , Sincerely, J.

Briggs-Y- OFFICE: DCI/CSI/HRG SUBJECT: Mexico City Station History REFERENCE: The Mexico City Station History contains at least 99 separate cryptonyms, for the most part concerning projects, but in some cases, individuals, ‘covering the period 1947 to June 1969. In every case, there is identifying information included with the crypt, ranging from a brief parenthetical phrase to Several pages of detail. Since the information far exceeds that thought relevant to the JFK story, both in time and substance, an approach designed to provide a maximum amount of information and guidance for historians concerned with the JFK assassination, with a minimum of gratuitously useable leads for curious or hostile FOIA requestors concerning CIA activities generally, was chosen and is reflected in the version the Board has for consideration. The norm in handling cryptonyms when the entire crypt is not released is to protect the digraph - the location indicator. What I've done here, to avoid unraveling, in effect, the whole history of Station activity for subsequent curiousity seekers, is to reverse the process, releasing the digraph and protecting the root - specifically because the text identifies each crypt. The Board is familiar with the decision to release almost all LI-crypts in full - while protecting identifying information. The major relevant LI projects {LIENVOY, LITEMPO, LICALLA, etc.) have had both the full cryptonym and most of the details released. Na Station and Operation Directorate division histories are among the most sensitive documents in the Agency. They are very tightly controlled within the area divisions - they are not available to cleared employees in other directorates or, traditionally, outside of the division within the Operations Directorate. Thus concern about the release of the Mexico City History pages that, viewed through the widest of lenses, do not appear to be relevant to the JFK story,is very great.

7 CENTER for the STUDY of INTELLIGENCE 5 December 1995 Mr. David G. Marwell Executive Director Assassination Records Review Board 600 E Street, NW Washington, DC 20530 Dear David: This is in response to your letter of November 8, 1995 in which you conveyed the request of the Assassination Records Review Board to be provided access to “any and all internal CIA histories or retrospective studies or reports” on several topics. We have begun to identify histories and other items that would meet the Board's request. The CIA Historian is assisting in this effort. I suggest that we discuss with you or your staff the possibility of modifying the request somewhat. Several of the items mentioned in your letter cover a broad range of topics. It would be helpful, for example, if the pertinent historical time period for each item were specified, as well as what topics in the requested items would be of interest to the Board. This would assist us in excluding sensitive information that the Board would regard as non-relevant to the assassination or to the scope of the investigation. Given the sensitivity of some of the materials requested, we would prefer that you designate one or two people to review the histories and other items in our offices. Please let me know your views on the above suggestions. We appreciate the constructive efforts that you and your colleagues have made over the past year to work out reasonable, secure ways of handling documents. For our part, we are committed to being as responsive as possible to the Board's interests. Sincerely, John F. Pereira HW 53217 = Docld: 32404 Ad clAME cPrcy © Washington.

You raised a concern that the Agency may not be able to increase sufficiently the pace of the review process to meet the 1 September 1998 deatline for completing the transfer of records to the National Archives. You also expressed the view that if any records| are not reviewed by the deadline, the Board will vote to release’ them in full and mandate that custody be transferred to the National Archives. You can be assured that we are committed to taking all necessary steps to meet our statutory obligation to review all of the Agency's assagsination-related materials. It is important that a proper review of all relevant records be done. This will allow us to recommend to the Board what information warrants continued protection. We appreciate the great responsibility that Congress ‘and: the President have given to the Board to inform the American people about the assassination. We share the -Board’s goal of declassifiying and releasing the relevant records to the fullest extent possible. Please convey my regards to Chairman Tunheim and the other Board members, and jassure them of our continued cooperation. | Sincerely, | Ml lo.C David W. Carey (2) a = DoclId: 3274041278 Page 2?
