Unjustified eiss2ification 536/83

In citatiotu of FoI file numbers, Ins lirst is FBISI, 1u5.62555, the second is isI hexico wity 105e37o2, oath oee Harvey Jewald titled. The subject is the ilexico City repert of 5/18/64. The _worksheets indicate more pages than the various messams. (Among the possible explanations is the withholding of what the FBI oalls administrative Dam.; from the Commis-ion.)

In 5069 (1280) :;crzi.co City forecosts anost unimaptinsble :is-aster if its crpsrt is deciasoifind for and oublif-hed by the Cone MC is so paranoid it would not discuss the natter on the phone. Its fear is exactly that claimed in many FOIA cases and because of disclosure, tho fear is proven to be entinay unreasonable:

"...publication would materially damage conceivohlof would result in the need tooeus'

It also Xwould "destroy" the 4;....ansew in establishing it."

T17o worknheet shows dicosure in MHO general releases, 12/77 or 1/78. Copies not attached because copier not working. Serial for checking 3702 workaheete (section II) is 899. Bud had.

VI first page of the 5/18/54 report is stamped "Sn0RET" but se of 7/14/77 i3 noted as "all paraixpahe are uoclasoified except where noted" by2040. Originally the typed ooper claims "Group I, Exckucled from Autwatic Downgrading and Declassi. fic*tion."

5195 (1294);-zerlects that the ropott .150., and was made suitable for disclosure by FBIllq, There is extensive withholding within this record, some ridiculous, like "In view of extensive investigation conducted into the allegations of (withheld) and in light of the tenuous nature of his claims, it is deemed inadvisable to delete his identity. " With this telling 2040 in 1977 that the name had already been disclosed and published, he withholds it.

This disclosure of classified illfornation, without any reported alterations in texts, from the relatively dmall percentage of FBI reports that involved I.Sexico City, is also reported in 5260 (13014), 5254 (1301B), 5281 (1301C), 5265 M0ID), 5271 (130410 and 5254 (1502A).

Obviously, no harm resulted from disclosure.
