Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1997 (44 Use 2107 Hotes. “DATE :° 11-14-2017 r - Memorandum from John A. Hartingh to Mrs. Morris, dated 11/21/95 Re: JFK TASK FORCE DETAILS: On or about 11/28/95, the ARRB will formally advise by letter to the Director the determinations noted by them on FBI documents at meetings 11/13 - 14/95. The ARRB made determinations on 25 FBI documents. The JFKTF and the ARRB are in agreement with the disposition of 18 of the documents, with one document pending further review. However, the ARRB will order release of information in six documents (copies attached with pertinent information marked) identifying five individuals, described below, two who were “Confidential Sources” of the FBI, one PCI, one PSI, and one symbol number informant with singular information. The information to be released is summarized as follows, by document number: 4 1. HQ 62-109060-2981 (page 2), NAR 124-10058-10009, identifies LA 3436 S as “the daughter of Charlotte Randall © McElfresh”. The JFKTF was willing to release the prefix and suffix of the symbol number and the name of McElfresh to be in compliance with the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act (the Act). The ARRB determined that the numeric portion of the symbol number would be upheld, but that the singular identifying information be released. In the Letterhead Memorandum, which has been released in its entirety, McElfresh is interviewed and identifies her daughter as Patricia Jane Welch. JFKTF research indicates that the daughter is currently living in the same area with the same identity. 2. HQ 62-109060-3771, NAR 124-10026-10413, identifies Brant Coopersmith as a confidential racial source. The ARRB determined this document should be open in full. A review of his HO 137-8385 file indicated he was closed in 1965. JFKTF research through the Butte Information Technology Center (BITC) did not find any current records on this individual. 3. HQ 62-109060-4526, NAR 124-10058-10086, identifies PCI George Clark Johnston, who provided information on David Lewis, a prior roommate. Mr. Lewis was making claims that he had names of individuals involved in the Kennedy assassination. The ARRB determined this document should be open in full. A review of the Headquarters and New Orleans indices and the BITC data bases did not indicate any records associated with PCI Johnston. 4. HQ 62-109060-4527, NAR 124-10058-10085, identifies PCI George Clark Johnston who reported the same information set out in number 3 above. The ARRB determined this document should be open in full. 5. HO 62-109060-4535, NAR 124-10058-1084, identifies William S. Morris, described as a confidential source, as 2 Docld: 32320657 Page 3
