This memorandum outlines the agenda for an ARRB (Assassination Records Review Board) meeting scheduled for 22 January 1998. Key items include:  
1. A briefing on "State Cover" recommissioned items requiring senior CIA/State official input, with a note that the Agency’s presentation should complement existing evidence memoranda. Mr. Gunn suggested allowing individuals to ask questions, and Lee Strickland is listed as available at 600 E. St. NW for queries.  
2. Recommendation to classify Office of Personnel Files in the Sequenced Collection (Microfinance) as NRB (Public Interest) by 2017, with the Agency asserting most information lacks relevance to the assassination and privacy concerns outweigh public interest. The ARRB staff will prepare a memorandum for public review.
