documents will reveal the identities of 158 individuals who were

described as potential criminal informants (PCI), potential

security informants (PSI), security informants (SI), Cuban

sources,

sources of information (SOI), confidential

sources (CS)

panel sources and established sources; release foreign

counterintelligence information.

(U) The ARRB held a public meeting 6/5/96, and voted on

new operating procedures.

The rules will decrease the number of

members needed to make a quorum to three. This may impact the

forthcoming decisions for the FBI, since a vote only takes a

majority.

Two of the ARRB members normally present at meeting

are very pro-disclosure oriented.

(U) The 61 documents pertaining to the decisions from

the current meeting, which the FBI may wish to appeal, are listed

below by document number with the information to be released.

The current status of informants and sources, if found through

research, is noted after the name with living (L), deceased (D),

significant to the assassination and that it outweighs any harm

that would be caused to the individuals or the FBI's/United

States Government's foreign relations to be disclosed.

(U)

If NSD or CID recommend appeal, they are

requested to provide their opinion and reasons to the JFKTF and

OGC by 6/24/96, as the FBI only has 7 days to appeal upon receipt

#54 & #55 - NSD recommends the FBI appeal the rele 5

of information that indicates telephone surveillance of a

dedicated telephone circuit between the U.S. and Russia. As

previously articulated by the JfKIF, investigative methods and

techniques such as telephone surveillance may vary in

application, but do not normally diminish in importance with

time. Public exposure of the FBI's specific use of same would

cause harm to the FBI's foreign counterintelligence

capabilities.

Furthermore, the U.S. State Department has orally

advised the FBI to protect all

investigations of Russia. The U.S. is currently allied with

Russia, with Russian troops under United States command in

Bosnia; and the FBI is currently attempting to establish friendly

relations with Russian Government officials to fight terrorism,

organized crime, drugs and other criminal activities. Disclosure

of the above technical surveillance would harm these developing
