ARRB Request re Angelton and Scott

Jeremy Gunn, ARRB staff, has requested (via

telephone) access to the following files/documents:

Winston_ Scott documents, including the entire

manuscript It Came to Little, and personal effects seized on

Winston Scott's death;

b. files of James Angelton housed in the CI

vault.

As Linda Cipriani handled the recent FOIA

litigation brought by Michael Scott (Win's son) for all

documents on his father, Linda has copies of documents

responsive to Gunn's first request in her office.

I have

spoken with Linda and we agree that, with your concurrence,

the best course of action would be to have Gunn view the

Scott documents and manuscript at OGC.

You should be aware

that during the course of that litigation,

searches were

conducted to locate personal effects seized by CIA upon

Scott's death.

Those effects were never located, but a

destruction record that seems to refer to these personal

was located

and provided to oGc.

Gunn would need

access to that destruction record as well.

3.

The second request of Gunn also was an issue in

the Scott FOIA litigation.

At that time the DO told IP&CRD

that all Angelton documents were sorted through in the 1970s

and that a separate CI Angelton holding no longer exist.

Official files were incorporated into DO record system and

material not deemed to be official records were destroyed.

To the extent that any destruction records exist on

Angelton's records, Jeremy would like to see these as well.

Linda and I suggest that the DO search for any such

destruction records and forward them to OGC.

In this way,

Jeremy can view them at the same time he views the Scott

documents.

4 .

Jeremy has agreed that if CIA allows him to view

the above records "informally" and he finds nothing that

relates to the assassination, then he will not make an

"official request" for these

records. Of course, any

records he believes to be relevant, he will have to make an

official request and they will then become part of the JFK

Collection.
