Re:

Assassination Records Review Board Request for Additional Information and

Records No. CIA-11 (Sylvia Duran materials)

Dear John:

We would like to request all files, documents, and records that relate to Sylvia Duran's

first arrest and interrogation in Mexico City immediately following the assassination.

We have seen many references in documents to Sylvia Duran's "ten-page statement"

that she gave to the Mexican police, but we have not been able to locate the statement

itself. We consider this record important in understanding events pertaining to Oswald

in Mexico City.

For your convenience, we have attached several of the documents from the collection

that reference the statement. We request that you locate this original statement and any

other records that provide any information regarding the statement.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,

sion

Re:

Status of Assassination Records Review Board Requests to CIA for

Additional Information and Records

Dear Barry:

I am writing to memorialize our conversation of October 1 regarding the status of

Assassination Records Review Board requests for information and records from the

CIA.

We discussed the following formal requests:

CIA-1 (Organization materials)

CIA has made records available to the Review Board. The Review Board

staff will continue its review and make recommendations to the Board

and will request further information, if necessary, from CIA. CIA needs to

do nothing further at this time.

CIA-2-5 Complete •

CLA-6 (Cables and dispatches)

CIA originally informed the Review Board staff that these materials could

be made available by December, 1995. CLA now agrees to make the

records available (or to have a response) by the first of November, 1996.

CIA-7 (Histories)

Mexico City. CLA has shown the Mexico City history to Gunn. CLA will

compile the portion of the history that was shown to G. Robert Blakey,

which will be processed as an assassination record. Gunn will then

determine whether there are any additional portions of the history that

should be added to the Blakey version. CIA will compile the "Blakey

version" as soon as possible and Gunn will promptly thereafter review the

documents.

Index. CIA has made an index available to Review Board staff and the

staff has identified certain histories that may be appropriate for review.

CIA will make available those histories that are of obvious relevatice, and

will raise with Review Board staff any questions regarding the requests

where the basis for the request is unclear. CIA will begin to make

histories available on a rolling basis. Review Board has agreed to review

histories promptly once they are made available. Although it was not

discussed at our meeting, we would very much appreciate it if you would,

within the next two weeks, identify which histories you are prepared to

make available and those that CIA believes should be subject to further

discussions.

Cram's multi-volume counterintelligence history. Although Cram's

history was not specifically discussed at our meeting, the Review Board

staff understands that the history has been located and the Review Board

staff awaits its being made available.

CIA-8 (Intelligence community staff)

CIA will provide a report to the Review Board staff within two weeks.

CIA-9 (Publications and analytical materials)

14-440

The Review Board staff provided CIA with a list of certain publications as

they appear in an LBJ Library finding aid. CIA will report back on

recommended action to the Review Board promptly.

CIA-10 (Interagency source register)

CIA has compiled information responsive to the request. CIA will make

records available within two weeks.

CIA-11 (Duran's original statement)

## Page 13

13-00000

Mr. Barry Harrelson

October 7, 1996

Page 3

CIA has been unable to identify to date Duran's original statement. CIA

will make some further attempts to locate it.

CIA-12 OMWAVE materials)

CIA will begin to make materials available on a rolling basis.

With respect to the informal requests, it is our understanding that:

CIA is inquiring into matters related to Spas Raikin. The Review Board staff will

discuss issues with CIA once the pending research is completed.

CIA is locating a cable number IN 24738 (7 July 62), which is identified in record

number 1993.07.20.10.18:29:650630 (Box 34, F 22), p. 2.

CIA is inquiring into matters related to Marilyn D. Murrett. The Review Board

staff will discuss issues with CIA once the pending research is completed.

CLA is continuing to search for HTLINGUAL records, particularly those

identified in Church Committee index that was provided to CIA by Review -

Board staff. CIA is prepared to provide oral briefing on HTLINGUAL.

Please let me know if you have any supplements or corrections. We would very much

like to ensure that these matters are handled expeditiously.

As always, thanks for your cooperation and assistance.

review. Michelle Combs reviewed the materials and identified some that should

probably become available to the public. The DI has been tasked to locate the

additional publications that have been requested.

CIA-10 Interagency Source Register.

CIA has provided a full description of the ISR, which should now be submitted

as a formal

response to the Review Board's request. Once the formal statement is

provided, this request will be complete. (Under separate cover, the Review

Board is sending to you an additional request for information and records, CIA-

17, which provides a list of names that we request you check against the

Interagency Source Register.)

CIA-11 Sylvia Duran materials.

CIA reports that it has exhausted its reasonable leads for pursuing additional

information. CIA has agreed to provide a formal letter for the record detailing

what searches were done and confirming that the responsive document currently

in the JFK collection is a true copy of the original letter. Once this formal

statement is provided, this request will be complete.

CIA-12 JMWAVE and David Sanchez Morales.

On May 22, 1996, the Review Board requested access to "all 201 files, personnel

filés, Office of Security files, P-files, or any other files" relating to five persons

allegedly connected to JMWAVE. It is our understanding that, in response to

this request, several months ago CIA located and made available for our review

many records responsive to this request. However, it is also our understanding

They include:

Intelligence Report (11/22/83; 11/23/63; 11/24/63; 11/26/63; 11/27/63;

12/11/63; 12/13/63; 12/18/63; and 12/20/63).

Intelligence Memorandum (11/23/63; 11/24/63; 11/25/63; 11/25/63; 4/20/64;

and 10/16/64).

President's Intelligende Checklist (41/23/63; 11/24/63; 11/25/63; 11/26/63;

11/27/63; 11/28/65; and 11/30/63%

Mr. T. Jeremy Gunn

600 E Street, N.W.

Dear Mr. Gunn:

Re: CIA Response To ARRB Request For Additional

Information and Records No. CIA-11 (Sylvia

Duran materials), ta 3 May 1996

This is the Agency's response to referent request and

to modifications to same as contained in your letters to me

Referent request was for all

files, documents, and records that relate to Sylvia Duran's

first arrest and interrogation in Mexico City immediately

following the assassination.

In particular you sought a

"ten-page statement" she may have given to the Mexican

All records within the JFK sequestered collection which

were responsive to the request were identified and provided

for review by ARRB Staff.

Following that

review, your focus

'narrowed to the "Duran original statement."

This ten-page

"statement" was apparently thought to be something given by

Duran in the nature of a confession in a criminal matter,

that is, her own words either recorded, handwritten by her

or contemporaneously written by someone else.

Despite the concerted search described below, no such

"statement" has ever been found and we cannot confirm that

it ever existed.

files of a "statement," or record of "interrogation"

probably refer to the same event - a ten-page report, in

Spanish, written by the Mexican police as a record of their

interrogation of Duran.

---

## Page 34

13-00000

The Agency's Directorate of Operations (DO) conducted a

review of its files to determine if a "Duran statement"

could be found.

The DO advised that it searched its main

index system and its

"names" data base. From that it

searched hard copy files including the Duran and Oswald 201

files.

No "Duran statement" was found. In addition,

HRG

searched its Oswald and JFK collections to determine if

there was a second document -- one different from the ten-

page report described above.

Again, multiple copies of the

ten-page report were located but no document which could be

called a

"Duran statement" was found.

If you have any question about this response to reguest

CIA-11, please advise.

Sincerely,

J. Barry Harrelson
