INFORMAL NOTE - NOT FOR RETENTION

May 6, 1996

Director Freeh:

Tomorrow, 5/7/96, the JFK Task Force (JFKTF) will

transfer an additional 16,679 pages of JFK documents to the

National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) . The

transfer will bring the total number of pages sent to NARA to

641,128.

Tomorrow's transfer will consist of files reviewed by

-.:- the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) as it

explored various assassination conspiracy theories.

The files

include those on organized crime figures Angelo Bruno, Gabriel

and Sam Mannarino, as well as other persons of interest to the

HSCA,

most notably Maurice Lerner, John Orion Pittman, and Thomas

Eli

Davis.

Of the 16,679 pages transferred today, 4,404 contained

postponed information ranging from one word or item on a page to

more extensive postponements.

Ninety-one were withheld because

the FBI postponed them in their entirety.

There were another

five pages withheld in their entirety because they contained IRS

information, the release of which is prohibited by the Act.

Another 256

pages were withheld because the FBI is awaiting word

from another government agency or a foreign government as to

whether their contents can be

released.

Many of the postponements in the files to be released

tomorrow were taken to protect sensitive sources, particularly

those who provided information regarding organized crime

activities.

Other postponements involved grand jury material

that has not been unsealed.

The FBI will work with the

Department of Justice to have grand jury records made public

where appropriate, and take other steps to reduce the amount of

postponed materials in these files, as part of its continuing

effort to maximize disclosure of information in its JFK records.
