nearing completion of all RAC documents from the Kennedy, Johnson, and Eisenhower libraries.

case documents into associated MORI cases. The initial case, 14
pages from EO-1994-00002 was processed into MORI this week.

team chief P provided a briefing for the Agency
Release Panel on 11 January. The purpose of the briefing was to
explain the prioritization scheme which the DCC/MORI team
follows while processing various collections of documents from
multiple customers. The briefing prompted discussion on certain
categories of documents which are currently being processed into
MORI, FR US for example, and suggestions for other document
types which might be added to MORI such as DCI speeches,
OPA press releases, CSI publications and IG reports.

(U) Declassification Review Division
-(41449)-DA Team:
-(T4H60)-The DA team is back up in force following the Y2K non-event. Three team members are conducting box assessment at the AARC, ground photos and
hard copy (WDC) review are continuing, is temporarily at NARA and F7 and n are working the Certification queues. A Team meeting is
scheduled for Thursday to discuss the selection of boxes from the AARC and the DA Certification queue.
DCI Team:
(AIU ) We welcomed back
esteemed DCI Team Chief who himself barely avoided "declassification" in a recent car accident.
(U) A couple of reviewed documents may be of particular interest:
(AHIO) Psychological Strategy Board Created-- A 4 April 1951 directive from President Truman to the DCI, Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense
established the Psychological Strategy Board whose purpose was to "provide for the more effective planning, coordination, and conduct, within the framework
of approved national policies, of psychological operations." The directive explicitly noted that "This directive does not authorize the Board nor Director to
perform any 'psychological operations.'" They should instead "utilize to the maximum extent the facilities and resources of the participating departments and
agencies."

should the Director of Central Intelligence exercise his authority and fulfill his responsibility for the clandestine collection of intelligence outside the United
States." Although too long to briefly summarize, Mr. Kirkpatrick's paper cited the intent expressed in Congressional hearings leading to the 1947 National
Security Act that the DCI should coordinate (Kirkpafrick emphasis) all field clandestine collection, but noted the situation had become more complicated since
that time, "multiplied in almost direct proportion to the spread of United States military commitments and responsibilities abroad." He said the creation of
NATO as well as the Korean War had resulted in sizable intelligence organizations who had requirements for information that could not in all cases be
answered by the CIA. His paper outlined some of the practical problems of coordination between the military intelligence organizations and CIA and argued
the DCI should continue to play a key coordinating role in this newly complicated atmosphere.
(AIU0) DO Team:
�(74#H60)-On 7 January 2000, of ERU, and DO Senior Reviewer qttended a meeting at State offices in
Newington with the Office Director of State's 25-year Systematic Declassification Program and four other State and USIA reviewers. The
purpose of the meeting was to look for ways to make sure the review of the Guatemala records would go smoothly and meet the March 2000 The CIA
side suggested that we review State records for release under guidelines such as State has furnished to NARA and the Presidential Libraries. elt that
State would not be responsive to that idea but would probably accept the idea of sending a couple of experienced reviewers to review the material in paper
copy on site. When told we expected to have from pages of material the State reviewers said they probably could handle that in a few days. On
12 January, State notified ERU that two senior reviewers had been selected for the fleview and could be available whenever arrangements could be
completed.
7-ifff,'199- In the past week during review of the Guatemala records we encountered abouLJocuments in the Spanish language. Two team members, Level I
reviewer and Level II reviewer are both well versed enough in Spanish to review these documents. The Level I reviewers who
encountered these documents made paper copies which and scanned to determine the substance and to enable them to make the necessary
declassification decisions. This proved to be a cumbersome method for handling these documents. We checked with and the Help Desk and
we are now in the process of establishing a new procedure that will allow the Level I reviewers, when they encounter a folder with one or more Spanish
language documents, to forward it directly to or Level I review and to for Level II.
7`A1-(74gY-DO Team Chief attended
retirement ceremony at Headquarters. Chief/IMS presented with the Intelligence Medal, a letter from the
DCI, and other gifts. The ceremony was attended by many of his family members, IMS managers, and co-workers.
