MEMORANDUM FOR THE FILE

SUBJECT: ADDO Briefing of JFK Board

On 14 November, ADDO (David Eager briefed the

Assassination Records Review Board and selected staff on

the subject of protecting the names of stations that appear

in JFK documents.

Also attending from the Do were Bill

McNair,

Fred Wickham, and Eleanor Neiman. Barry Harrelson

and I participated for HRG. (C)

2. (Edger) reviewed a number of points that were

included in a

recent memorandum from the DDo to the Board

on the subject.

He told the Board that the Agency agreed

to acknowledge several stations for the relevant period,

but that it was important to protect many others.

He said

that the Agency would appeal if the Board did not agree to

delete the names of stations in the latter category. (C)

3. We discussed possible options that the Board might

consider e.g., substituting wording such as "European

station"

, or writing a summary of certain cables for release

without identifying specific stations. (FOUO)

4. The Board was non-committal, but clearly was

finding it difficult to assess the damage to current CIA

operations that would be caused by releasing the locations

stations in 30-year old documents. (FOUO)
