* * ; Ms z= ‘ aks Ae danet ne oy (Ge sey Oswald Case pha poe a, The Archivist of the United States has custody of the Warren cue Commission documents relating to the assassination of President fo jpe™ Kennedy. CIA, the FBI, and other governmental agencies involved 7! in the investigation are required to review their classified material Te ge in the above collection every five years through 1975 and at 10-year intervals thereafter for the purpose of declassifying items which are (8 ») no longer deemed to be sensitive from a security standpoint. Sr. has cooperated fully in this endeavor and has released aynum ex of documents into the public domain over the years,” Anything declassi- fied by us has been strictly on our own volition always bearing in : mind CIA's statucory responsibility to protect intelligence sources and methods, ng We have been pressed a number of times by Nassaseination buffs" and also by CIA critics to release classified documents, © particularly those relating to an unknown man photographed in - front of the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City/who, so far as is known, | ot had absolutely nothing to do with the assassination. In order to protect a most sensitive source, we have never publicly indicated where and how it was taken, although we made a full disclosure to the Warren Commission at the time of the investigation. The piolure ublished in the Cornmission Report was cropped to screen out(fthe DOVLeE Embassy) Had it been released untouched fiche voviets would ave recognize e location instantly; traced its origin to our fixed observation post from which it was taken; and established the identi ties of the surveillants, The post is still a ches bigoucuss source T of intelligence information. e nthe process of answering an outside request for an "uncropped" picture of this man, Invariably we are threatened with a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act if we don't comply. —> Pp a Because of our need to protect sources and methods, we have had to endure all kinds of phony charges that we were involved ina military-industrial conspiracy to assassinate the President. Nota single CIA exhibit has incriminating content, nor could this be since CLA had nothing to do with the assassination, This Agency never « contacted Oswald, interviewed bio. talked. with dim or wesetved. or f Docuréent Number ¥! é for FOIA Review on | WW 453390 Docld: 32397319 Page 3
solicited any reports or information from him, or communicated with /Most of our exhibits consist of "nut" complaints, rumors, gossip, ° etc.; which have no security significance per se but could be embar- rassing to an innocent person invelvad; disclose a productive and friendly foreign source; or acknowledge CIA "presence" abroad where diplomatically this would be inadvisable. In due time, of course, all CIA exhibits will be released into the public domain, (Prepared by A, E.
