Summary of Contact:Investigator Robert Buras met Mr. Atzenhoffer at his service station and learned that he had joined the Civil Ari Patrol Cadets, Moisant Souadron in Sept. 1954 and left 1957. He was a platoon Sgt. and used to call the roll and remembered Oswald's name being on the roll. He has no recollection of ever training with him or speaking with him, and remembers him being a quiet guy. When he saw Oswald on TV in 1963 he didn't recognize him but on one of the newscasts he saw Ed Voebel talking about him (LHO). He remembered Voebel as the man that Oswald was close too and stayed with at the meetings. Atzenhoffer only knew Voebel from CAPC, not socially.Ferrie did come to Moisant Squadron and teach some courses and Atzenhoffer took his first plane flight with Ferrie. HeIII.

Page two of interview with Anthony Atzenfoffernever got to know Ferrie very well. He went to one social party that was given at either Ferrie's house or Col. Jim Salmon (James Salmon was killed in a plane accident 10-15-78). The party was all guys and when they started drinking he left. He was about 16 and his father didin't allow him to drink. Salmon and some others were seniors and Atzenhoffer didn't get to know them. He remembers that Ferrie flew at blue Stinson that he kept at Moisant Airport, (Now New Orleans International and they don't allow private planes there any more).Ferrie never indicated that he was homosexual in any way. The only thing that he can remember that was not of CAPC was Ferrie wanting the kids to participate in some kind of experiment for Tulane University. They didn't do it.Atzenhoffer was shown the photo book and related the following:#5. Clay Shaw knew from newspapers.#27. Looked familiar but name didn't mean anything.#62. Melvin "Pinky" Seeling. Knew from either CAPC or other friends. He remembers that Seeling's father owned a large dairy farm in Kenner, La. Last saw him a few years ago. Seeling is in the Air Force and is stationed in Corpus Christi, Texas. Garrion's men showed him a mug shot of Seeling and he was suprised to learn that he had been arrested.A check of New Orleans PD files indicate that he was arrested on August 30, 1961 and booked with Vagrancy, Investigation of Burglary and Hold for the F.B.I. under item number H-13903-61.

# SCENARIOCHRONOLOGY OF OSWALD'S VISITS TO THE SOVIET AND CUBAN EMBASSIES.September 26, 1963ThursdayA man claiming to be Oswald vists the CubanEmbassy between 10:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M.The visit probably occurs around one o'clock."Oswald" is discribed as 5'6" tall, blond hair,sunken cheeks, very thin, aquiline nose, verystraight eyebrows, approximately 35 years oldand wearing a light blue Prince of Wales suit.He was said to look very cold with a hard faceand a penetrating cunning way of looking at you."Oswald" was seeking an intransit visa to Cubaon his way to Russia. He displayed documentsthat showed his membership in the Fair Playfor Cuba Committee and the American CommunistParty. He was told that he would have tofirst obtain a visa to Russia before he couldbe issued an intransit visa. He is also toldthat he should return to the Cuban Embassywith his passport and a copy of a photographin order to fill out the visa application.September 27, 1963FridayCirca 10:30 A.M."Oswald" calls the Soviet Military Attache (SMA)with whom he speaks in Spanish. He tells theSMA that he is looking for a visa to Odessa.The SMA tells him to call the Consulate. "Oswald"asks for directions to the Embassy and recievesthem.10:37 A.M."Oswald" calls the Soviet Consulate and asks tospeak to the Consul in Spanish. He is told thatthe Consul is not in. He is told that he cancall back at 11:30. "Oswald" says that he islooking for a visa to Odessa.circa 11:30 A.M."Oswald" goes to the Russian Embassy where heonce again exhibits the documents he has alreadyshown the Cubans as well as other documents suchas his and Marina's marriage license. "Oswald"discusses his situation with someone at theEmbassy and comes away with the understandingthat everything would be expeditiously handled.circa 12:15 P.M.Someone from the Soviet Embassy calls Azcuewhom he is aware of because of what "Oswald"has told him, and tells him that they have toget authorization from Moscow to grant him avisa and that it will probably take four months.circa 12:45 A.M."Oswald" returns to the Cuban Embassy with the

Page Two.9/27/6312:45 (cont'd)Arquephoto and completes the visa application, stating that he would like to leave in three days. He asks Azcue about how long it will take to get the visa. Azcue explains his misconception to him, an argument results and Azcue throws Oswald out. Duran feels sympathetic to Oswald, gives him her address, and promises to help in any way she can. She feels that Oswald should have been granted the visa with no problems and that Azcue's actions are wrong.1:25 P.M.Oswald calls the Soviet Consulate in an attempt to find out what has gone wrong with the arraignment he thought he had. In Spanish, he asks for the Consul. He is told that the Consul is out and that he can be contacted between four and five on Mondays and Fridays. [This call may have been from Duran's phone.] If it was he then told her that he could get hold of the Soviet he had his deal with and would she be kind enough to talk to him. She said that she would and to come back at four o'clock. If the call was not made then Oswald got this message to Silvia and the same arraingments for Silvia's four o'clock call were made.4:05 P.M.Silvia Duran calls the Soviet Embassy. She tells them the American citizen, the one who wants a visa to Cuba in transit to Russia, is there. She asks who he talked to at the Soviet Embassy when she sent him there to get a Soviet visa so he could get an intransit visa to Cuba. She tells the official she is speaking with that the man seeking the visa wants to know with whom he spoke because he had been assured that there would be no problem. The man at the Soviet Embassy puts another man on the phone and Silvia goes through it again. He tells her that her call will be returned..4:26 P.M.A Soviet Official returns Silvia's call. The situation is explained to Silvia. She realizes that she cannot give him a visa because of the delay on the Soviet end and the fact that he does not know anyone in Cuba. What does Silvia tell Oswald who is still setting there waiting? In light of subsequent events it was probably something that would keep his hopes up.NightOswald goes to a party at Rubin Duran's with Silvia and two American friends. This may have been, more likely was, the night of the 26th. He is seen by Elena Garro de Paz. He spends the night with Silvia.

Win Scott writes "Can we identify?" on transcript. Goodpasture notifies Flick that an American is apparently trying to get a visa- and that the COS would like to ID. The Cuban and Soviet monitors are asked to notify Flick of any conversation involving an american, or in English. ETC, HOWEVER.10/1/63Flick is notified by a monitor that there is an English conversation on the Soviet tap. Flick listens and hears the man ID himself as Oswald. He pulls the tape and marks it "urgent" and notifies Goodpasture that they have an ID on an American. The tape is delivered to Tarasoff for immediate transcription. It is recieved late this day or early on the second by Goodpasture. Disposition of tape unknown, could "urgent" tapes have been routinely retained for longer period? Goodpasture now has ID but does not know for sure that it is the one that Scott has asked about. The guy in the 9/27 conversation sounds real interesting but there is nothing in this conversation that clearly connects. She discusses reporting it with Manell. There is some disagreement over whose responsiblity it is to report.

COMMITTEE SENSITIVE24 August 1978011042HSCA Interview of David Atlee Phillips at HSCA offices, 8/23/78, 1:20 to 4:35 P.M., by Dan Hardway, Charles Berk, and Gaeton Fonzi.Mr. Phillips was reminded that the CIA omnibus release letter still applied to our discussions and that he should feel free to answer our questions in spite of any secrecy oath that he may have executed during his employment with the CIA, He was asked if he remembered and understood the letter and if he wanted to review the letter again, Mr. Phillips stated that he remembered the letter and did not think it necessary to see the letter again.Mr. Phillips was asked about his activities in Mexico that related to his job as Chief of Covert Action in the Mexico City Station from 1961 to 1963. Mr. Phillips was asked how many persons were in his propoganda shop in Mexico City, He said that it was manned only by himself, a case officer under his direction and a secretary. He later added that there was also one other case officer under his direction who worked under deep cover outside of the Embassy. Mr. Phillips stated that from 1961 to 1963 he ran only about 6 or 7 operations or projects. He added that there would have also been many "ad hoc" actions. Under questioning, he stated that it is possible that he was responsible for as many as 14 to 17 ongoing operations and 3 to 6 developmental stage operations, Most of these operations were directed at the Cuban target and "the great percentage of them had an anti-Cuban or anti-Soviet bias."Mr. Phillips was asked about the handling of agents. He stated that he himself. handled "very very few" agents, "Usually I met with someone who was working deep cover and they in turn would handle several agents."Mr. Phillips did recall handling one agent personally, a radio-TV broadcaster. He also said that he would often meet with other agents evenNW 50955 DocId:32263505 Page 7COMMITTEE SENSITIVE

COMMITTEE SENSITIVEPhillips, page 2.though he was not handling them on a day to day basis. He stated that at all times he had at least one deep cover officer working outside of the Embassy and that, sometimes, he had two such officers,Mr. Phillips stated that he did have access, and did use in some of his propoganda activities, agents who were located outside of Mexico.Mr. Phillips also stated that he did use a few assets that he had developed prior to his transfer to Mexico City; he specifically recalled a man named SAYAS who had been a newspaperman in Cuba and went to work in Mexico City. He said that while he had been a propoganda officer for the JMARC operation he had used assets that he had developed during his prior tour of duty in Hayana, Mr, Phillips said that such assets were usually handled by him personally during the Bay of Pigs,Mr. Phillips stated that during the Bay of Pigs operation he travelled to Miami "fairly frequently; every 6 weeks, 3 weeks, 5 weeks."He stated that responsibility for propoganda operations were divided between him and his subordinate in Miami, William Kent, When asked to explain that division Mr. Phillips stated;Kent reported to my shop in Washington, He had day to day contact with the groups we were supporting down there, the student group and the doctors or whatever, and the people involved in Radio Swan,Phillips stated that Radio Swan was run out of Miami, through the mechanism of the Gibralter Steamship Company. He did say that he was in contact with the agent who ran Radio Swan, He said that he felt uncomfortable naming than agent and suggested we ask the Agency for his identity,Mr. Phillips stated that when he traveled to Miami he often went to see the people he knew from Hayana, including those he was running as agents himself, He would also, on occassion, meet with agents whomCOMMITTEE SENSITIVE

COMMITTEE SENSITIVEPhillips, page 3.Bill Kent was running "if Bill Kent got to the point where he felt he would like a little weight," Sometimes he went down to Miami on a "trouble shooting" mission, as when problems developed with a commercial radio station the Agency was funding.Mr. Phillips stated that he had had no recent contact with Mr. Kent relating to anything being done by this Committee, He did state that, approximately a month ago when Mr. Kent retired from the CIA, he received a call from Mr. Kent, He said that Mr. Kent said that he was setting up an executive employment agency and had asked for Mr. Phillips help in finding jobs for former employees of the agency as well as referring people for specific skilled jobs, They did not discuss the HSCA at all, according to Phillips,Mr. Phillips stated that it would be accurate to state that there were two "sets" of propoganda activities during the Bay of Pigs; one that was run out of the Miami offices coordinated by Bill Kent and a second set that he personnally ran without coordinating with Mr. Kent. Most of Mr. Phillips prior established assets were in the second set of propoganda operations.Mr. Phillips said that even after he became Chief of Cuban Operations in Mexico City he still worked very closely with the propoganda shop, and his successor as head of that shop, James Flannery, in propoganda operations.Mr. Phillips said that his "Cuban shop" covered the activities of the Cuban Embassy and that a special group covered the airport.

He also said that one of the primary activities of the Cuban shop would have been to identify the DGI officers in the Cuban Embassy and their functions, duties and assignments whenever possible. Mr. Phillips said that he was still involved in propaganda activities at this time specifically recalling a Mexican broadcaster whose radio station could be heard in Cuba. Mr. Phillips pointed out that he had been a close friend of Mr. Flannery's and that Mr. Flannery was made Chief of Covert Action in Mexico on his, Phillip's, recommendation.Mr. Phillips' said that he had "quite good" relations with Win Scott and that he reported directly to him as opposed to reporting through the Deputy Chief of Station which would have been the routine manner. Mr. Phillips stated that he thought that Robert Shaw had been in charge of the Cuban photographic surveillance operations and that they had two penetration agents in the Cuban Embassy. He stated that he could not remember the names of the penetration agents and was not sure of the cryptonyms.Mr. Phillips was asked why his name came up so infrequently in a review of Agency documents of this period from Mexico City. He said that his name should appear on any "formal project" he had going, but that he "did like to delegate work." He said that his name must be on many papers.COMMITTEE SENSITIVE
