Yeltsin Gives Clinton Info on JFK

.c the Associated Press

COLOGNE, Germany (June 20) - Russian President Boris Yeltsin came to Sunday's
meeting with President Clinton bearing one gift - a report on declassified
Russian information relating to the assassination of President John Kennedy.

Sandy Berger, Clinton's national security adviser, termed the report a ''very
interesting gift.'' But he refused to speculate on whether it contained any
new information on the Kennedy assassination, saying it was in Russian and
U.S. officials had not reviewed it.

The documents will ''be reviewed carefully and all interesting elements will
be made public,'' Berger told reporters traveling with Clinton to the
economic summit in Cologne.

Berger said the document was the result of Yeltsin's order several years ago
for various Russian agencies to review all of their material related to
Kennedy, covering military, civilian and private archives.

In 1991, Russia's intelligence agency declassified its files on Lee Harvey
Oswald, the man the Warren Commission report identified as the gunman who
killed Kennedy as he was riding in a motorcade in Dallas in 1963.

In 1992, the files were shipped to Minsk, the Belarusian capital, so that
Belarusian officials could review them. Oswald lived in Minsk in the early
1960s.

The Izvestia newspaper reported in 1992 that the reformist Russian
intelligence chief Vadim Bakatin wanted to release the files but was blocked
by veteran spies who feared disclosure of their names and tactics.
