STAFF PAYROLL RECORDS

December 8, 1995

Status of Document:

Postponed in Part

Number of releases of previously postponed information: 13

Reason for Board Action: The Review Board's decision was premised on several factors

including: (a) the significant historical interest in the document in question; (b) the

absence of evidence that the release of the information would cause harm to the United

States or to any individual.

Number of Postponements: 5

Postponements: All the postponements in this document represent Social Security numbers.

Reason for Board Action: The text is redacted because the public disclosure of the redaction could

reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, and that invasion of

privacy would be so substantial that it outweighs the public interest.

Substitute Language: SSN

Date of Next Review: 2017

Board Review Completed: 10/24/95

Released under the John F

Dear Al:

I herewith submit my resignation from the Select

Committee effective May 15, 1977.

I have not lost my convictions about this investigation

which brought me here to work last December. However,

personal and financial obligations have made it necessary

for me to obtain more secure employment.

I wish the Committee all success in the future and

I sincerely hope that it is never again plagued with the

problems it has previously faced.

sincerely,

Lexise
