MEMORANDUM FOR: CI Staff, Research and Analysis Group
SUBJECT: OSS Archives
1. With reference to your memorandum of 12 April
1972 listing 21 documents which you believe can be declassified
and made available to the National Archives and Records
Service, I talked with the Director on 13 April and he felt
this was the correct way to proceed. I understand you will
STATINTL work with office to hive this done.
2. This is an excellent example of the problem we
will be into when Executive Order 11652 becomes effective
1 June 1972. For material exempted from the 10-year automatic
declassification schedule, the Order provides a 30-year period,
at the end of which exempted material is declassified unless
further action is taken by the head of the agency. If there is
OSS material which still requires protection, we will need to
come up with a determination by the Director that the classifi-
cation continues after 30 years. Obviously, material of the sort
listed in your memorandum could not be justified as requiring
such an extension. If, for instance, the policy determination
were to extend all documentation still sensitive because of the
intelligence sources and methods problem, which would be a
proper finding, much material would not be covered and would
automatically be declassified. In the past we have not made such
a differentiation and to do so would be a major records problem.
I think it deserves attention at this time, however, so we can be
in a position to comply with Executive Order 11652 when it is
effective or as soon thereafter as may be -practicable-

Mr. Houston,
12 April 1972
Attached is a list of 21 documents which I believe will be of
interest to John TOLAND, a writer who spoke with the DCI on
5 February 1972. The DCI gave him ray name and address and
TOLAND wrote me a letter, dated 8 February 1972, in which he
told me of his interest in records concerning Hitler.
I called him on 25 February and told him that I had been
unable to work on his request, but that I would do what I could,
if he could give me something more specific. He gave me a better
idea of items in which he is interested.. We discussed all of
the other records repositories which I: thought could possibly
contain additional information on his topic. He had been to all,
except one, and was happy for the lead that I gave him.
He said he plans to be in the DC area the beginning of April
and would call me. I have looked through the RID Arclives
:moldings and found that the documents on the attached list could be
of interest to him.
As we discussed, these documents should be declassified and
made available (in sterile form, i. e. without OSS designations,
etc.) to National ".1-chives.
Per your phone call of this afternoon, the DCI has approved
this approach and therefore I'll go ahead along these lines.
