Declassification Guidelines for JFK

Assassination Records Collection Act of

1992

In reviewing Box 9, Folder 74, of the JFK

Assassination files

there are documents pertaining to Privacy

Act cases on the following individuals:

Edward Ivan Arthur - 3 pages

Edward

Browder - 3 pages

John W. Donovan - 6 pages

William Bernard Harvey - 2 pages

Michael J. McLaney - 4 pages

Gordon D. Novel - ll pages

Harold Weisberg - 18 pages

2. Our reading of the JFK legislation, SEC. 6. (3),

suggests that the argument for withholding on privacy grounds

must be very strong.

We would appreciate your guidance on this

matter based on the attached samples.

Do we deny the attached

information involving Privacy Act requests or are we obligated

to release the unclassified portions of these documents under

the JFK Assassination Act?

The material highlighted in yellow

is the material we propose to delete should these documents be

judged releasable. If there is additional information that

should be deleted, please bracket it in red.
