OGC-93-51501 8 May 1993 MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Historical Review Group FROM: Robert J. Eatinger, Jr. Assistant General Counsel Litigation Division, OGC SUBJECT: MHCHAOS Material Included Among JFK Documents 1. This memorandum responds to Ellie Neiman's request for guidance on how to process MHCHAOS material found in the ~ collection of documents currently being processed by the Historical Review Group pursuant to the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (ARCA). 2. I recommend that MHCHAOS documents concerning specific U.S. persons be postponed in their entireties under the privacy provision in Section 6(3) of the ARCA. The Agency may present the materials to the Assassination Records Review Boards at the appropriate time and argue that release of the records should be postponed because of various congressional statements that the collection of information was improper. Further, the information does not in any way help identify President Kennedy's assassin. 3. In addition, specific items of information in the documents may concurrently qualify for postponement under the ARCA provisions protecting intelligence sources and methods. Further, any MHCHAOS files on the National Lawyers Guild are covered by a settlement agreement that precludes their release to the National Archives and Records Administration until the year 2025. If you identify any such material, please notify me. I will contact the Department of Justice. n 3. I have found no court order mandating destruction of the MHCHAOS materials. However, the Agency did undertake to destroy all MHCHAOS material in 1990. However, this destruction effort was in furtherance of the Agency's routine records destruction schedule. The collection of documents the HRG is now processing apparently was never searched for MHCHAOS materials during this destruction effort. However, the materials in the collection could not have been destroyed even if found because the collection was and remains the subject of the FOIA litigation Allen v. DOD.

an ae ; SECR SUBJECT: Release of Information on Mexico City Teltaps 1. Protection of sources and methods and liaison equities require that references to the Mexico City Station teltap activity be excised from any documents released under the auspices of the JFK Assassination Record Collection Act of 1992. While the teltap activity mentioned in the documents under review occurred some thirty plus years ago, the joint teltap operation with Mexican liaison has never been terminated; it continues to this day in a slightly different form. 2. Release of any information that would constitute official USG acknowledgment of the existence of the joint teltap operation would have a serious adverse impact on current operations. Relations between the Station and the liaison service would be affected, with the likely outcome of discouraging liaison from cooperating in similar ventures in the future with Mexico City Station. Official acknowledgment of the existence of the joint teltap in the 1960's would embarrass the liaison service given Mexico's strong brand of nationalism and sensitivity towards the issue of sovereignty vis a vis the United States. The service probably would terminate its cooperation with the Station on the current joint teltap operation in order to be able to defend itself against domestic critics. er HW 53217 DBoclId:32404130 Page 4

HW 53217 ER 93-0325 CIA SPECIAKCOLTECTIONS 8 325°2883 RELEA FULL 2000 MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence FROM: Executive Director SUBJECT: Completing Work on JFK Assassination Records 1. Your office has asked whether additional resources are needed to complete work on the JFK records by the deadline established by Congress of 22 August 1993. Barring the unforeseen, we should meet the deadline. 2. The Historical Review Group expects to complete review of all hard copy files (some 250,000 pages) by early June. Since coordination with the directorates has lagged, we have taken steps to increase the number of directorate reviewers. The DO has approximately doubled the number of reviewers to eight. They are committed to adding additional resources if required. 3. The second problem is the need to prepare identification aids for every document transferred to the National Archives. I have given approval for up to 20 indexers and document analysts to work overtime on this effort. 4. A potential problem exists in processing a box of. microfilm, which contains the equivalent of some 172,000 pages of additional material. The Historical Review Group believes a large part consists of duplicates of material already reviewed. They should know whether this assumption is correct within the next few days. In any event, I will assign additional resources if needed. 5. The President has yet to name the Review Board called for by the JFK Act; therefore, we cannot determine whether the board will have additional requirements for us. R. M.

HW 53217 12 August 1993 NOTE FOR: Dave Christian, PAI SUBJECT: Suggested Press Guidance on Release of CIA Records on Kennedy Assassination 1. On 16 August, CIA released to the National Archives approximately 23,000 pages of declassified records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The records are comprised of documents and other materials contained in CIA's file on Lee Harvey Oswald. This is in addition to approximately 12,000 pages from the Oswald file that were transferred to the National Archives in 1992. All of the records in the Oswald file that can be declassified-- more than 90% of that file--have now been released. 2. A large volume of additional declassified records related to the assassination and investigation are to be released shortly. The records have been declassified under the requirements of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. fer John F. Pereira O DoclId: 3274042705 Page 2?

HW 53217 2099 August 1993 Following is for PAI's background should questions be raised about inconsistencies in the redactions of the JFK documents: - There are many duplicate documents, which may not have been sanitized exactly the same way by different reviewers in every instance. - Our procedures for declassification evolved over the past year, so that more information was released in documents reviewed later compared to documents reviewed earlier. - The physical quality of many documents is poor. - Some documents were sanitized elsewhere in the Agency earlier. So we were dealing often with redacting materials already sanitized for other reasons e.g., for release to the House Assassinations Committee. - Not all the documents released are CIA documents. Many are press items, third agency. - We will be doing followup review of the documents after the 22 August deadline to reconcile inconsistencies. a John Pereira } DoclId: 3274042708 Page 2?

ee —— ER 95-3008/1 wt 22 June 1995 NOTE FOR: Distribution SUBJECT: CIA‘s Response on JFK Board Actions This action is the first we have received related to decisions of the JFK Assassination Records Review Board. I am assigning action on this subject to the Center for the Study of Intelligence. The Center will work with components to determine if the CIA should ask the President to object to a JFK board decision. Components and the Center may recommend what action, if any, the Agency should take to appeal a JFK Board decision. The Center is responsible for preparing the package that will be forwarded to the Director (via the Executive Director and Deputy Director) for decision. All component recommendations will be included in such packages so the Director can assess all relevant positions, factors, and arguments. The suspense dates on these actions are extremely tight, seven days for the Director to appeal a Board decision to the President and 30 days (including the seven) for the President to rule on an appeal. See the attached Lotus Note from Bob Eatinger in OGC for more explanation of how appeals are to be handled with the White House. We may have to alter our procedures as we learn how best to cope with this new requirement. Stay tuned. \ Douglas *. Garthoff Executive Secretary HW 53217) DocId:32404211 Page 2
