The meeting was held to discuss how to accomplish the review and declassification
of the Star Gate program and related documentation in accordance with
Congressional direction.
The principal results of the discussion were:
- Brief the Agency Review Panel (ARP) on the Congressional direction and
obtain their approval to proceed as planned (subsequently arranged with
SG1 I I -]for 1330 hours on 9/28 in room 7D02).
- Include in Management Plan to Congress the plan to expeditiously review
and declassify the documentation (complete within 2-years) contingent
upon the approval of Congress to use some of the billets and funds
previously provided to accomplish this task.
- Explore the possibility of having the National Archives implement the
declassification of the documentation under funding and guidance
provided by CIA.
SG1 I agreed that he would provide the leadership to accomplish the
declassification if no other organization accepted the task but contingent
upon the provision of the additional billets and funds noted above.
SG1 I offered the support of her group in responding to future FOIA
requests.
SG1 I noted that the recent records management person assigned to
ORD was not senior enough to lead this task and implied that ORD would
need to assign someone from the ORD staff to be the lead person to
implement the declassification plan.
SG1 I noted that the National Archives needs to be appraised of the
document transfer from DIA to CIA
