Submission of CIA's Initial Statement of Compliance Under the JFK

Assassination Records Collection Act, 44 U.S.C. § 2107

Dear Barry:

In connection with the work of the CIA to locate and release records relating to

President Kennedy's assassination pursuant to the President John F. Kennedy

Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 ("JFK Act"), please submit to the Review

Board the CIA's initial formal report regarding its work.

As you know, the procedures for documenting the CIA's compliance with the JFK Act

were set forth in the Review Board's November 27, 1996 letter to the CIA Director.

These procedures entailed the submission of an intial report by the CIA, which we

referred to as an Initial Statement of Compliance. This past Spring, we informally

agreed to extend the time for submission of the Initial Compliance Statement pendin®

ongoing work of the CIA under the JFK Act.

To facilitate the completion of the CIA's work by September 1998, including the

ubmission to Congress of a final report detailing the work accomplished by the CL

nd other Federal agencies under the JFK Act, please submit the CIA's Initia

Compliance Statement to the Review Board no later than November 6, 1997.
