Chief, Records Review Branch, ISAS/DDA
SUBJECT: General Donovan Papers
1. One of the tasks remaining on subject papers is to stamp
those documents earmarked for declassification considering that the
collection will probably be turned over to a private university. The
stamp denoting declassification should deface the documents as little
as possible. It should also contain a symbol unique to the collection,
the date of declassification, the declassifying agency, and the authority.
Further declassification data on the stamp seems unnecessary, because CIA
can retain the individual worksheets coveringthe collection.
2. The suggested declassification stamp for those General Donovan
documents to be declassified is along the lines suggested by
Edwin A. Thompson, Director, Records Declassification Division, National
Archives and Records Service (Paragraph 3 of the attached letter). The
stamp would read:
STAT
STAT
DECLASSIFIED D-1978 I
CIA -
with "D" the unique symbol for the Donovan collection. A number, such
as 780001 could be used, with 78 representing the declassification year
and 1 the first in a series of collections to be declassified. However,
given the importance of the Donovan collection, a unique letter symbol
seems in order. It is suggested that in the interest of saving time
declassification stamps in the required number be ordered from a local
store specializing in rubber stamps.
