Members of our Historical Review Group have discussed at length with Don Cryer and Kathy Stricker our proposal to release Win Scott's name. The two sides have agreed to disagree. (S) 2. This is our position: * Scott's name and position are widely known publicly if not officially acknowledged (David Phillip's book, among other overt publications). (S) ¢ The review board, soon to be established by the JFK assassination release legislation, will surely demand that we justify withholding Scott's name. Since his name is already in the public domain, the board will probably force us to release it. (S) e The release of Scott's name and position would not set a precedent, as this project is undertaken in accordance with the special JFK assassination release legislation. (S) ¢ HR 70-14 reads, in paragraph e (6): "There is a presumption that information that has appeared publicly, including information that the Agency's Publication Review Board has approved for publication even if not confirmed officially, will not damage the national security unless the reviewer can show how official confirmation could reasonably be expected to cause additional damage to the national security." Phillip's book, identifying Scott, was approved for publication by assistant General Counsel , John K Greaney, not by the Publication Review Board. (S) CL BY 0188893 DECL . OADR DR FR COV 2-87.

“ CSI-0005/93 7 January 1993. MEMORANDUM FOR: . Director of Central Intelligence Deputy Director of Central Intelligence FROM: David D. Gries Director, Center for the study of Intelligence e SUBJECT: Comments on Draft Decision Memo on Task’ Force on Procedures for the Public Release of Information Under FOIA, Privacy Act, and Other Programs 1. I strongly endorse your decisions on the task force's recommendations. They should provide a potential basis for strengthening the Agency's release programs. In _ particular, I would strongly support additional resources for the DO; their lack of resources has caused recurring bottlenecks in the Historical Review Program and other programs for public release of Agency information. 2. I have one specific recommendation. The section dealing with the relationship of the C/IRP to the Historical. Review Group (paragraph 2, b on page 2) could be interpreted as providing C/IRP authority to weaken the Group's release guidelines (which were established in accordance with your guidance that the program be "biased toward declassifica- tion"). I suggest that the following be added at the end of the paragraph: "This is not. to result in a weakening of the guidelines for release of historical documents or a lessening of HRG's authority to release as described in HR 70-14."

Gries Director Center for the Study of Intelligence SUBJECT: Errors in Release of 1967 Inspector General's Report REFERENCE: Your Memorandum, Same Subject, Dated 30 December 1993 1. This memorandum is in response to your request for an explanation of why certain information contained in the Kennedy Assassinations records was released. 2. The 1967 IG report is part of the "sequestered" records that CIA provided to the House Assassinations Committee. As far as we can determine, the facts are as described below. 3. With one exception, it was our intention to protect the information in question to the extent permitted by the Kennedy Assassinations Records Act. It appears that in the final redaction phase three items were inadvertently left in the version that was sent to the National Archives. This version is the same as that reviewed by the DO officers assigned to us to conduct coordination of releases. 4. There are three specific types of information involved: a. Staff officer's name Nestor Sanchez's name was deleted from all but one page, where the last name only--which is a common one in Spanish--remained. It had been agreed with the DO several months earlier that Sanchez's name could be released in other JFK documents. (The officer is a well-known person, now retired, who has been publicly identified as formerly with CIA.) CL BY 0188893 DECL OADR DocId:32404157 Page 2?
HW 53217 SUBJECT: Errors in Release of 1967 Inspector General's Report b. Names of two covert assets One asset was a Cuban exile living in New York. We deleted his name on every page but one. The second asset was a sub-source of the first, whose name was deleted every place it appeared, with one exception. We deeply regret these two mistakes. c. Reference to Rome The reference appears in connection with a well-known former Agency officer--Bill Harvey. Following is the precise wording. “After Harvey-- was winding up his headquarters responsibilities in 3. assets. preparation for assignment to Rome, he wrote a memorandum." The word "station" does not appear. The JFK Act does not permit protection of an assignment location if it is not explicit that a station or other permanent facility is identified. Harvey's assignment to that city was acknowledged in the open literature. We regret release of the names of two covert It may be that the rush to review more than 250,000 pages within a mandated deadline contributed to the problem. We are making every effort to ensure that the process of multiple review is as effective as possible and note that thus far, only a few mistakes have come to light. q David D.

Eatinger, Jr. Assistant General Counsel Litigation Division, OGC SUBJECT: MHCHAOS Material Concerning Activities of U.S. Persons Overseas 1. This memorandum responds to Frank Most's request for guidance on how to process certain MHCHAOS material. Specifically, I was asked whether the standards for processing the MHCHAOS documents that I provided in my 8 May 1993 memorandum to you would change if the MHCHAOS reporting was of the activities of U.S. persons in foreign countries. The standards do not differ if the reporting was of the U.S. person’ s , activities overseas. 2. The authority of the Central Intelligence Agency to collect information on U.S. persons is based on the rationale for the collection, not the location of the U.S. person. While the foreign activities, as opposed to domestic activities, of U.S.) persons are more likely to be of a foreign intelligence or counterintelligence interest, it does not mean all foreign activities may be collected. Additionally, the fact the activities of a U.S. person take place overseas does not, by itself, remove the U.S. person's privacy interests. 3. I recommend that you treat MHCHAOS reporting of a U.S. person's activities in a foreign country in the same manner as you treat MHCHAOS reporting of a U.S. person's activities in the. United States. ‘ Robert W. Eatin Jr. ADMINISTRATIVE INTERNAL USE ONLY HW 53217 Docld:32404161 Page 2

This memorandum requests that addressees identify staff employees for overtime, after-hours work on Agency records related to President John F. Kennedy's assassi- nation. The overtime will be paid by the Center for the Study of Intelligence. The request stems from a requirement in the JFK Assassination Records Act that all relevant government documents be reviewed for declassification and transferred to the National Archives by 22 August 1993. 2. The specific task for which assistance is needed is indexing of data into an automated system and ultimately producing computer-generated forms called "identification aids." This involves keying in information onto a pre-set form that appears on a personal computer screen. (Experi- ence in indexing or as a document analyst is necessary.) The Act cited above requires that each document transferred to the National Archives have attached to it such an aid. The same information that is developed in the aids will. be produced on diskettes that will be forwarded to the National Archives for use in compiling an electronic index. 3. We estimate that it will require up to 20 people working 10 hours of overtime per week, probably beginning in early June, to meet our deadline. The work will be done in the office of the Historical Review Group, in Ames Building. The preferred hours would be Monday-Friday, 1630-1830, or 1700-1900, and there may be work on Saturday as well.

The purpose of this memorandum is to ask that the Directorate of Operations take steps to speed up the process of reviewing the JFK assassination records. 2. As you know, all agencies are required by law to review for declassification, and transfer to the National Archives by 22 August 1993, all records relevant to the assassination of President Kennedy. As of 1 April, the DO faced a backlog of some 57,000 pages just to catch up with what has been reviewed initially by the Historical Review Group. There will be an additional 135,000 pages to process by 22 August. Although I realize that resources are scarce, I believe that there is no option but to increase the level of effort on this task if we are to meet the deadline. 3. The declassification of the documents will be speeded up if the pace of the coordination process is improved. In addition to the resource aspects, I am concerned that coordination is being prolonged unnecessarily because of what may be at times an overly rigid approach to protecting sources and methods. The JFK legislation permits withholding of information on sources and methods only when there is "clear and convincing evidence" that release would "demonstrably impair" national security. 4. OGC advises that the JFK legislation supersedes all other statutory authority for withholding information (except portions of the Internal Revenue Code). At the same time, the information released under the Act does not establish a precedent for purposes of FOIA and other matters. The assassination records constitute an exception. The Act allows us to protect genuinely sensitive information such as names of agents, sources or methods currently in use or expected to be used, and current foreign liaison relationships.

Pereira Acting Director, Center for the Study of Intelligence ‘SUBJECT: New Release of JFK Assassination Records N 1. This memorandum is to advise you of a scheduled release of additional CIA records related to the JFK assassination. . 2.- On 1 September 1994, we plan to release to the National Archives approximately 71,000 pages of JFK records that are printed out copies of microfilmed documents. These records were microfilmed in 1979-80 and added to the files that the House Select Committee on Assassinations ordered sequestered at CIA. This will bring to 211,000 the total number of pages released by CIA under the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. 3. We are also reviewing some 10,000 pages originated by other agencies, which will eventually be released after coordination. by those agencies. In addition, we are reviewing some 20,000 pages originated by Congressional staff during the investigation of the assassination, which .are tobe processed by the National Archives before they can be made available to the public. 4. All documents held by CIA that are possibly related to the assassination are to be provided to the Review Board that was appointed earlier this year by the President. This includes those records that appear to qualify for with- holding under provisions of the Act relating to privacy, foreign relations, relevancy, and sources and methods. The Review Board will make the final determination as to possible release of these records. | fe frien John F. Pereira DoclId: 327404170 Page 2?
