SUBJECT:

ARRB 22 January Meeting -- Agenda

REFERENCE:

1. The following items are on the ARRB meeting agenda for 22 January 1998:

A. Reconsideration of the State Cover. The ARRB staff has advised that briefings by senior CIA andor. State officials are

not required. However, the Agency and State ate welcome to make a presentation if it will add to the information being presented in the

"evidence memorandum".

The evidence memorandum must be at ARRB no later than Tuesday 20 January. Mr. Gunn has suggested

we may want to have individuals standing by for questions. The current plan is for Lee Strickland and me to be available at 600 E. St.

NW. to answer any questions.

(AIUO)

B. Office of Personnel Files in the Sequestered Collection (Microfilm). The ARRB staff will recommend to the Board that

personnel files be declared NBR (Not Believed Relevant) and their release postponed until 2017. The Agency position is that the privacy

of each individual clearly outweighs the public interest, most of the information in these files has no relevance to the assassination story,

and any related information exist elsewhere in the collection. At ARRB staff request HRP is preparing five OP files for review by Board

members. The ARRB staff will prepare a memorandum for public release describing the files; their memo will be coordinated with the

Agency prior to release.

(AIOU)

C. Non-related files/documents in the Sequestered Collection (Microfilm). The ARRB staff will recommend that the files

and documents (approximately 35,000 pages) designated non-related by CIA during the 1994 review of the microfilm be declared NBR

and released in 2017. If the recommendation is accepted by the Board, the ARRB staff will prepare an unclassified description of the

records for public release. This too will be coordinated with the Agency prior to release.

D. Other possible items:

(AIUO) i. ARRB Request # CIA 1 . The ARRB staff may request that the DO documents at issue in this request be

declared Assassination Records to be released in full or sanitized form.

recommend that the Board reaffirm its decision to release.
