Assistant General Counsel
SUBJECT: Declassification of Documents Involving
You have asked whether you can initiate normal declassi-
fication review of subject documents in view of the ongoing
litigation. We have contacted Mr. Charles R. Esherick, the
Department of Justice attorney handling the case, who has
advised that he has no objection to declassification review of
the documents. He emphasized, however, that all the documents
must still be retained pending final resolution of the case or
a court order permitting destruction.
