(C) In response to referenced request for "additional files" searches on Spas T. Raikin and Marilyn Dorothy Murret, the Office of Personnel Security conducted appropriate searches of the Management Data Program/Personnel Security (MDP/PS). MDP/PS is the automated database of security records used by the Office of Personnel Security. The searches undertaken were reasonably calculated to uncover all responsive records.2. (C) The Office of Personnel Security has a file on Spas T. Raikin (#0134669). This file reflects that in August 1957 Foreign Documents Division/00 requested a clearance on Spas T. Raikin for unclassified contract employment with Project U.S. Joint Publications Research Service in New York City on an unwitting basis. The Office of Security responded there was no information which would preclude use of Mr. Raikin. On 31 January 1967 the Office of Security again granted approval for Mr. Raikin to be used as an unwitting independent contractor with the U.S. Joint Publications Research Service.3. (C) The Office of Personnel Security does not maintain a security file on Marilyn Dorothy Murret, but there is an index record to an media article dated 1971 from Computers and Automation. This article contains the statement that Marylyn Murrett is Lee Harvey Oswald's cousin and that evidence indicates she was involved in espionage activities in Russia and Asia.4.

NOTE TO: ARRB StaffSUBJECT: Further ClarificationREFERENCE: ARRB Request Regarding Oswald LewinterClarification:Oswald Lewinter is a naturalized US citizen and a man of at least four other names -- George Mearah, Oscar Lewinter, Razin Lewinter, and Ibrahimin Razin. Although he appeared in the East German Who's Who in CIA, the CIA has never had any *official* affiliation with Lewinter. Lewinter was the subject of an Agency "burn notice" in 1990; a burn notice alerts the intelligence community. In this case, the alert advised that Lewinter was an intelligence swindler, peddler, and fabricator.CIA has a report of an episode involving an intelligence fabricator and convicted drug dealer Oswald Lewinter, AKA George Mearah, born 2 April 1931, in Vienna, Austria. In July 1990, a CIA representative overseas reported that Lewinter, using the name of George Mearah, contacted him and offered to put high-level GDR officials wishing to defect in touch with our representative and in turn the CIA. This contact would be in exchange for help and a presidential pardon that would wipe the slate clean and leave Lewinter (Mearah) without a record as a convicted felon. Lewinter (Mearah) claimed this was important he was married (for the third time) and starting a new life; he was reportedly considering quietly acquiring Israeli citizenship. This contact was not followed up because of the "burn notice."BACKGROUND USE ONLYDO NOT REPRODUCERETURN TO CIA
