JFK Assassination Review Board Request

1. On 11 June 1997 members of the DI/IRO staff, OSS

personnel, and Bonnie Hunter of your staff met with Michelle

Combs and

Bob Skwriot of the JFK Assassination Review Board

to discuss DI document retrieval methods. The meeting was

requested by the Board to provide them with a clearer

understanding of DI document searches.

2. (Ilse Hartman) and (Joyce Jump of OSS provided a

detailed overview of the document retrieval process. Ilse

walked the board members through a typical request,

document

search, and retrieval. The Board members were satisfied with

the thorough nature of the process and appreciated the time

spent to provide a detailed overview.

3. During our discussions the Board members asked for

five additional topics which they felt might be appropriate

to research on the JFK assassination. These were:

- USSR, Cuba, and Mexico combined with the term assa-

ssination, for the period 20-30 November 1963.

- Minsk radio factories (where Oswald was employed)

and possible Cuban training bases in the Minsk region for

the period October 1959 to January 1963.

Helsinki and visas to try to capture information

on Oswald's visa application. The Board also asked for

information on hotels in Moscow and Minsk where Oswald may

have stayed.

- Information on the freighter "Marion Lykes" plus a

passenger manifest covering the period 19 September to 8

October 1959.
