What’s the anti-conspiratorial explanation for that? I can imagine a million different things they’d love to hide, but what would the legitimate, honest/harmless reason?
Just that one connection in a file, "we asked agent $name and he said $agency knew nothing" might be justifiable to keep secret if theres a connection to someone still active.

The names of the agents would be redacted at first place on declassified material.
Though we do know these agencies have broken laws and done some pretty nasty stuff like MKUltra over the years.
So they really have no stock and should have been broken up a long time ago. No conspiracy theories needed really.
