23 December 2008

The CIA has released to Cryptome 103 pages of declassified Top Secret and Secret documents on "Soviet Intelligence Services Personalities," dated 1946-1962. The papers are marked "Approved for Release Date: 05-NOV-2008."

http://cryptome.org/cia-soviet-intel.zip (Zipped, 105 pages, 18.9MB)

Unusual for the CIA, there are no redactions in the released material. However, the cover letter states, "Additional material was determined to be currently and properly classified and must be withheld in its entirety." Based on the page numbers of the pages released, the withheld material consists of several thousand pages.

12 May 2008. About 5,000 pages of new dossiers and updates have been received from INSCOM since April 2007:

Introduction

Cryptome filed a Freedom of Information Act request on March 29, 2001 to the US Army Intelligence and Security Command for the dossiers:

http://cryptome.org/inscom-foia.htm

The hardcopy dossiers arrived over five years -- April 2001 to March 2006 -- from INSCOM and from agencies to which requests were forwarded -- State Department, USAID, CIA, DIA, other-Army, Navy and Air Force. The former classifications ranged from Top Secret, Secret, Confidential, No Foreign Distribution. Many of the documents are redacted to a greater or lesser extent, and some pages were refused release as indicated in the dossiers. Classification markings are often the only clue to significance.

Some of these files were previously published on Cryptome: http://cryptome.org/inscom-update.htm

In addition to these INSCOM has promised a number of dossiers which have not arrived; these letters are indicated by 1- or 2-page entries. If and when they arrive they will be offered for download on Cryptome, or if commodious, mailed on disk.

INSCOM has provided none of the gray-shaded dossiers, either with a letter stating the files were forwarded to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), a letter stating no records were located, or there was no response (None). Other agencies responded with unidentifiable references or no records letters.

A Hewlett Packard scanner with automatic document feeder was used to scan the hardcopy and the scanning and OCR program Readiris was used to prepare PDF files.
