REFERENCE:

ARRB Request for DCI McCone's Files

Michelle Combs will be at IP Tuesday 19 August to review records and pending requests. What is the status of the ARRB

request for DCI files? I have located Job number 80-B01285 A [ 10 boxes! "Files of Director John A. McCone, 1962-1965 in the History

Staff. Do you personally plan to review the files before giving access? Normally we restrict access to sensitive files to Gunn and

Michelle Combs. Files have to be reviewed in Agency offices and all notes are left with the Agency for review. When boxes contain

both relevant and non-relevant folders, we usually give them access to the shelf list and they select the folders they want to review.

How do you want to handle these files?

Barry

SUBJECT:

Records re John McCone and JFK

I am the staff historian currently working on a study of John McCone and was asked by Barry Harrelson of

the JFK assassination declassification group here at CSI to track down some stray records on the subject.

(Gwen Smith) of our staff phoned the Executive Registry and then asked me to write you with the details.)

Barry gave me a list of some documents and/or job numbers from an untitled, handwritten page of notes.

from a member of the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1978. A verbatim rendering of those

notes follows. Some of the material mentioned in items 5 and 6--such as memos for the record, memos of

meetings with the President, and transcripts of telephone calls--are in the McCone DCI files in my office,

but under different job, box, and file numbers. The job numbers given in items 4-6 below do not

correspond to anything in our job number listing. If you have any thoughts on what those jobs are, or on

anything else on the following list, please let me know.

1) Envelope labeled "Dulles Papers--for CIA files only--miscellaneous assortment of material for

1964 & 1965" including CIA correspondence (Box 9)

2. Folder labeled "Dulles, Allen W--1953-1966," CIA and other miscellaneous documents and

correspondence (Box 14)

3. 7 folders of material--mostly correspondence between Dulles and Rocca (Box 15)

I gave Michelle an overview of the relevant McCone files. She plans to look at them Monday afternoon. It should take her no more than a

couple of hours.

One item of interest is missing from the files: McCone's memo for the record of his meeting with Mac Bundy on 26 November about the

assassination. The document is not marked in the file log as being lost or destroyed, and although the file supposedly contains material up

through 30 November, the latest itern in it is dated the 13th. Do you have any idea where the 26 November memo might be?

REFERENCE:

CSI/HRG

David Robarge, History Staff, has reviewed the Shelf List for Job # 80B01285A (DC| McCone's Files. He identified 28

folders that fall into JFK assassination related time-frames and that potentially could contain assassination-selated documents or

information. I am faxing a copy of the shelf list with the folders marked. The request for access appears reasonable. If you approve,

access will be limited to Jeremy Gunn and Michelle Combs and the review will take place at IP. Any notes taken or memos prepared will

be reviewed for classification. Please advise if there are any additional restrictions to be placed on Jeremy's and Michelle's access to the

files.

Thanks and again congratulations on your new job.

Barry

David

My best guess is.... the old job number 75-8-698 was re-archived under a new job number at some point in time.... probably to

add the shelf list data to the electronic database system. Give me the job number/box/folder info for the data you currently have on site to

help narrow my search. The other info in iters 14 may be part of the same job that your current holdings came from if the material

was re-archived, finding some of the info as listed in the handwritten notes from 1978 might inrolve recalling a large amount of

material.... there is no guarantee that the material was re-archived in the same sequence (i.8. - box 9 may not be box 9 in the new job). 1

will continue to research until I hear from you... no hits yet.
