This is in response to your letter of 26 October forwarding
excerpts from classified Senate Foreign Relations Committee
briefings for review by Central Intelligence Agency officials
dated:
October 10, 1963 (Vietnam), pp. 4-8, 101-104, 111-112
July 19, 1965 (Dominican Republic), pp. 440-441, 444-446,
455-457, 479-482
The review has now been completed. We have no objections to
the declassification-of the referenced material, with one excep-
tion.. We wish to continue to assert classification in those
paragraphs on page 446 of the July 19, 1965 (Dominican Republic)
briefings which have been highlighted in yellow.
,Although the information can be downgraded to CONFIDENTIAL,
those three paragraphs of the transcript continue to warrant
classification under Section 1.3(a)5 of Executive Order 12356,
that is, "foreign relations or foreign activities of the United
States."
Thank you for the opportunity to review this material, which
I am returning to you herewith.
