Mr. John F. Stewart
Acting Director
John F.'Kennedy Library
380 Trapelo Road
Waltham, Massachusetts 02154
In response to your inquiry of August 17, 1971 about the
security classification on the material this Agency contributed
to the John F. Kennedy Library I have coordinated with the
officers concerned.
Our previous instructions regarding the list of classified
CIA documents reflected our concern that the list not be in-
discriminately copied and circulated. As it still represents a
problem to you at the CONFIDENTIAL level, we have reviewed the
list again. We feel that if you can provide some control over
the use of the list it can be safely declassified.
Therefore, we suggest that you declassify the list and
reproduce the following instructions on the first j.age2
This list may be reviewed by scholars
under supervision of a JFK Librarian.
The list will be stored with the Library's
Classified collection and will not be
reproduced or removed from the Library.
If lou feel that your Staff can include and maintain this
requirement in their procedures you may consider this letter
as authority for the declassification of the list and proceed
accordingly. As indicated in our previous instruction the
documents themselves remain Classified, but we will review the
documents individually for declassification upon request for
a particular or specific research use.
