MEMORANDUM FOR:
7 February 1984
Information Review Officer, DDI
FROM : J. Kenneth McDonald
Chief, DCI History Staff
SUBJECT : Review and Release of CIA Documents to Department of
State Historian
1. Dr. Edward Keefer, an official historian from the Department of State,
visited our office last week and selected the following documents from our
copies of 14 Kennedy Library documents that we have already sent to you for
review with our memoranda of 6 September, 17 October, and
8 November 1983:
HS/JFK/ 75, 26 Aug 63,
(S)
HS/JFK/ 77, 24 Aug 63,
(S)
HS/JFK/ 81,
11 Sep 63,
(TS)
HS/JFK/391,
19 Oct 63,
(S)
HS/JFK/427,
12 Nov 63,
(S)
HS/JFK/461,
30 Sep 63,
(TS)
2. Since Dr. Keefer now wishes access only to the documents listed above,
I have enclosed copies of the covering memoranda with these documents
circled. As far as we know, there is now no need to review the other
documents sent to you with the above noted covering memoranda.
3. I would be grateful if you would review the documents noted in
paragraph 1 and decide whether they can be released (at their present
classifications, unless you wish to sanitize or downgrade them) to the
Department of State for Dr. Keefer's use in preparing a Vietnam War volume of
the official Foreign Relations of the United States series.
4. Dr. Keefer and the Department of State have agreed to the attached
"CIA Records Access Policy," which requires further CIA review before any of
the classified material you may now release to them can be declassified,
downgraded, or published.
5. Would you please return these documents with your determination to the
DCI History Staff, Room 316 Ames.
J. Kenneth McDonald
