Summary: The document outlines pending issues related to the release of assassination records under the JFK Assassination Records Act of 1992. It discusses covert actions involving CIA financial support for posters in Italy and Brazil, labor unions in Grand Cayman, and a Helms MFR on a PIPA meeting. The ARRB staff recommends designating certain documents as "Not Believed-Related (NBR)" to avoid release. Concerns are raised about alias documentation, including protection of SSNs, addresses, and personal items like club cards. A compromise proposal involves releasing non-sensitive materials while deferring decisions on alias identities until a later meeting. The document also references CIA organizational charts for 1958-1968, Mexico City tapes from November 1963, and the identity of "LITAMIL-9" as a CIA agent linked to Oswald. Richard Gibson, a CIA asset associated with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, is noted in FBI files. The ARRB seeks guidance on releasing these materials, including operational diaries and office files of CIA officials like Charles Cabell and Marshall Carter.
