Dirate rigenter for the study of

SUBJECT:

Comments on Draft Decision Memo on Task

Force on Procedures for the Public Release

of Information Under FOIA, Privacy Act, and

Other Programs

1. I strongly endorse your decisions on the task

force's recommendations.

They should provide a potential

basis for strengthening the Agency's release programs.

In

particular, I would strongly support additional resources

for the Do; their lack of

resources has caused recurring

bottlenecks in the Historical Review Program and other

programs for public release of Agency information.

2.

I have one specific recommendation. The section

dealing with the relationship of the C/IRP to the Historical

Review Group (paragraph 2, b on page 2) could be interpreted

as providing C/IRP authority to weaken the Group's release

guidelines (which were established in accordance with your

guidance that the program be "biased toward declassifica-

tion").

I suggest that the following be added at the end of

the paragraph:

"This is not to result in a weakening of the

guidelines for release of historical documents or a

lessening of HRG's authority to release as described in

HR 70-14. "
