Pereira Chief, Historical Review Group SUBJECT: Appointment of Directorate Focal Points for JFK Assassination Board Requests (AIUO) _1. Action Requested: It is recommended that you request the Directorates to appoint focal point officers for purposes of responding to requests from the (President Kennedy) Assassination Records Review Board. (AIUO) 2. Background: President Clinton appointed the Board to oversee the release of records related to both the assassination of President Kennedy and the investigations into the assassination. The Board has forwarded to us the first (attached) of what are likely to be many requests for additional information from CIA records. The Board will not complete its work until late 1997 at the earliest. (AIUO) The Historical Review Group (HRG) has reviewed more than 400,000 pages of JFK-related records, most of which were contained in the “sequestered records” that were collected for the House Assassination Committee's investigation and in the Oswald 201 file. Up to now, no new searches have been required. Now that the Board has begun to generate requests for additional information, the Agency needs to create a mechanism for processing the requests and for tasking components to conduct records searches. (AIUO) 3.
