MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: President Lyndon B. Johnson Library Project
On Thursday, 20 July 1967, at 10 a.m. I met in the Office of
Presidential Libraries at National Archives with Mt. Herman Kahn
and his Assistant, Mr. James D. Walker. We mot at Mr. Kahn's request
to discuss the participation of Central Intelligence Agency in the
continuing program to gather copies of records, material for the
Presidential Libraries. Mr.'Eahn expressed appreciation for the
material the Agency sent to the Kennedy Library. He wished to
continue a similar effort for the President Johnson Library.
Mt. Kahn referred to the President's memorandum to GSA
(15 November 1966) establishing the Presidential Libraries as a
continuing program to be conducted by National Archives. Mt. Kahn also
referred to his Administrator** memorandum (7 April 1967) to the
Director which requests copies or originals of papers on issues,
poliCies, and events of the period, especially those that had White
House interest or activity that influenced the Agency's actions..
He recalled his last meeting with Mr. Houston as the Agency's .
General Counsel when we agreed to give the Kennedy Library microfilm
copies of some material and would earmark and hold certain sensitive
items that could not he released until a later date.
Mr. Kahn wished to exphasize that Presidential Libraries have all
types of classified data. All their personnel are security cleared
and access to material is governed by Executive Order #10501. He said
the material is made available only as the original material in the
Agency is available. Any restrictions are followed and release is -
made only with proper approval.
Mr. Helms was recently interviewed by National Archives for the
oral history project, Mr. Kahn informed me. He went on to say...that
within two weeks a memorandum would be sent by the Archivist to all
Presidential appointees requesting them to deposittheir personal
papers in the Presidential Libraries. Mrs. LydoiahOrids to send a
personal letter to several friends and appointees requesting that
their historic personal papers be deposited in the President Johnson
Library. - (This information was passed onto the DIX, Mr. Bannerman
