Shep
Per our telecon I Dec, none of
the documents in the attached file
are classified perse, because they
contain no indication that Kail or
his Army: cover unit were associated
with the Agency.
Moreover, the
cover unit was dissolved in 1968.
However, Kail, like many other
military personnel assigned to the
Agency then and since, was on covert
¡detail at the time (apparently 1962-
66), and this fact should be pro-
tected because of our cover arrange-
ments with the Military.
Therefore,
recormend the Cormittee be requested
to treat this file (and any other
Agency records cn Kail) as
_CONFIDENTIAL.

show this to HSCA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dated 4 December 1978, it is a CIA routing and record sheet on the House Select Committee on Assassinations' request for records on Lt. Col. G. Kail, U.S. Army — an undated DOJ/INS form and a January 1962 Army travel order.

Although the documents were unclassified, the CIA recommended confidential handling to protect the fact that Kail had been on covert detail with the Agency (apparently 1962–66) and to preserve cover arrangements with the military.
