REFERENCE: Memo for DCI fr C/HRG, dtd 13 June 96, Same Subject (U) This memorandum provides background information for a meeting between you and the JFK Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB), which is scheduled for 16 October 1996 in your office between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. The meeting was requested by ARRB Chairman, John Tunheim as a courtesy call. (U) Background: Mr. Tunheim, recently appointed a federal | judge in Minnesota, asked that he and the other four Board members have an opportunity to provide you with a brief description of the Board’s purpose and activities. The Board’s Executive Director, David Marwell, and General Counsel, Jeremy Gunn will also parti- cipate. The ARRB members were appointed by President Clinton in ~ -1993 as required by statute. Their principal responsibility is to ensure public disclosure of all-government records related to the assassination of President Kennedy. (FOUO) Topics the Board May Discuss: The Board probably will discuss their concern about whether they will be able to complete their work by the congressionally-imposed deadline of. October 1997. This concern relates to the very time-consuming process that the ARRB and its 30-person staff is obliged to use in reviewing all of the thousands of relevant documents that are redacted, which for CIA comprise the bulk of our documents. (FOUO) The Board may also seek your personal commitment to continue the Agency's dedication of resources--people and computer capability--to the review of JFK documents. CIA has worked closely with the Board and its staff from the beginning. CL BY 70185904 CL REASON: 1.5(c) DECL ON: _ Xi DRV FROM: MET 10-82 CMD ram

(U) The Board may also express interest in gaining access to records that are not part of the JFK records (the sequestered collection), but which the Board regards as possibly containing useful background information or leads for further inquiry. We have released some 227,000 pages of relevant Agency records thus far and are continuing to collaborate with the Board to identify additional information that can be released. . (U) Suggested Talking Points: You may want to emphasize the Agency’s commitment to continuing the very positive relationship with the Board, including making people and computer expertise available to process relevant documents. (S) You may want to assure the Board that CIA is determined to give the Board and designated staff full access to all assas- sination records, as required by the JFK statute. At the same time, it would: be helpful to stress that there are certain categories of sensitive information that require continued protection and should not be released. Among the types of information contained in the JFK records that we need to protect are: , . Identities of agents and CIA officers who retired undex cover.

13-00000 DAVID G. MARWELL Biographical Informaoon On July 1, 1994, the Berlin Document Center (BDC) was transferred 10 the German Federal Archives (Bundesarchiv) marking the end of nearly 48 years of Amencan conwol of this unique Organizauon. With an esumated 25 million Nazi-era personnel -related files, the BDC was once a crucial source.of evidence for the Nuremberg Tals and 1s today an _incalculably important source for the study of the Third Reich. The transfer also marked the end of David Marwell’s tenure as Director of the BDC. A well-uained scholar with a PH.D. in History, Marwell came to Berlin in 1988 from the Office of Special Investigations (OSI), U.S. Department of Jusuce where he held the position of Chief of Investigative Research. At OSI, he was involved in researching and preparing cases against accused Nazi war criminals residing in the United States. In addition, he was selected to participate in the Klaus Barbie Investigation (1983) and played a major role in the Josef Mengele investigation (1985), both of which received international attention. In connecuon with the Joseph Mengele and Klaus Barbic invesugations, Marwell was in charge of assembling all relevant documentary evidence relating to any possible connection between these individuals and U.S. institutions or personncl. The investigations were uvo of the most unusual ever undertaken and through them he gained siginificant experienccs in the identifying and locating documentary resourecs. The former Director of OSI, Allaa A. Ryan, Jr., in his book Quiet Neighbors: Prosecuting Nazi War Criminals in America, descnbed Marwell as “an experienced and careful histonan who could find document$ i an archives when no one else could.” When Marwell armved at the Document Center, the institution had been rocked by a scandal involving a significant theft of documents. The resulting focus on the Center '. revealed that 1 had been neglected in many areas for many years and suffered from an outmoded administrative structure, a disaffected and undertrained staff-and a lack of professional guidance. It was Marwell’s job to bring the Center up to standard and prepare it for tumover to the German goverment. + t The challenges facing Marwell were not only to manage a complex institution (with an annual budget of cight million deutschmarks) and repair past deficiencies, but also to _ define a future for an insuturon in transition. He prepared a “five vear plan” for the BDC that set five goals, developed a corresponding program to meet cach goal. and designed a system to momior the progress. In achieving all of the goals, Marwell Introduced computer technology (there was nota single computer at the BDC when he arrived) and developed a sophisucated, integrated infonnation retricval system that has been described as a model for archive administrauon: Created a fully professional document conservation and restoration program: * Developed a staff (S50 Germanic and Ws An.” vo
