DETAILS: The memorandum dated 6/17/93 and captioned as above

established policy with respect to informant/confidentiality

postponements taken in FBI documents being processed pursuant to

the John F.

Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992

(the Act) •

A copy of this memorandum is attached.

one policy

established was that informant symbol numbers would be released

unless the combination of the release of highly singular

information and the release of the symbol number could contribute

to the identification of an informant.

The likelihood of

identification would occur most frequently where a particular

symbol informant provided positive information on more than one

occasion and by linking such reports of positive information

attributed to the same symbol informant one might be able to

identify the informant.
