MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
15 June 1978
SUBJECT: Actions Taken by NSA to Locate Information Related
to the Assassination of President Kennedy
A. Over the past fourteen and one-half years, NSA has
performed a number of separate in-depth reviews of materials in
its files in an attempt to isolate data that might be relevant
to the assassination of President Kennedy. Nothing of significance
has been determined as a result of those reviews.
1.
November-December 1963
-
Immediately after the
assassination, NSAinitiated a large-scale manual and machine
review of available SIGINT, including all U.S./Cuba traffic (NSA
intercepted messages at an average of 1,000 per day at that time).
A computer search was initiated using Oswald's name as the minimum
for research criteria. Additionally, all traffic between Cuba/New
Orleans and Cuba/Dallas was manually reviewed (an analyst involved
recalled that 25 to 50 analysts reviewed the traffic manually,
along with traffic from Cuba and some Soviet traffic). Sometime
during the search, items from the Oswald address book provided by
the FBI were added to the search criteria.
2. 1964
-
Warren Commission - The Commission, in the
person of Allan Dulles, asked NSA to review the exhibits for any
secret writings or codes which might have been contained in the
documents. It also appears that NSA searched records for information
on the basis of other Warren Commission requests made informally
by Allen Dulles.
3.
November 1975
-
Senate Select Committee to Study
Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities (SSC):
In response to an SSC request on the Assassination,
NSA reviewed its Soviet and Cuban files, including Cuban military.
The search was also for material involving Marina Oswald, Jack Ruby
or Earl Ruby (a Harvest run was made). Mexican traffic was also
reviewed, looking for information concerning Oswald's visit to
Mexico.
4. June 1976 Pursuant to FOIA requests asking for
material relating to Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination

December 1976 Senate Select Committee on Intelli-
Requested all the material we had available on the
Cuban agent problem. It consisted of 485 reports for the period
1961 1965. All of these reports were received by Committee
Staff Members.
-
-
6. March 1978 House Select Committee on Assassinations
Requested all data on Cuban intelligence network and other materials
relating to the Assassination. All Cuban agent material (1961 - 1964)
was reviewed, as was material that had been previously compiled to
respond to the SSCI and SSC requests.
B. As a result of the reviews described above, the following
materials which may have some relevance to the assassination were
located (referenced material inclosed at numbered tabs):
1. Four Cuban diplomatic messages which contained
official Cuban comments regarding press items that discussed Oswald's
activity in late September 1963 to obtain a visa to travel to
Moscow. There were also comments on the assassination itself.
The messages are dated in the last week of November 1963.
2. Three Cuban military reports which show that Cuban
military forces did go on alert immediately after the assassination.
3. One 1962 Cuban Intelligence message concerning the
assassination of Antonio Veciana. This message was to (Puerto
Rico) SERAFIN.
4. One 1966 Cuban Diplomatic message concerning a Spanish
diplomat in Cuba. It referenced a 1960 plan in Cuba to assassinate
an USSR dignitary in Cuba and against 'Raul Castro Ruz, possibly
linking it to the CIA.
5. Information in an FBI document relating to a French
Intelligence agent was supplied by NSA. Because this document
was to be turned over to the HASC, there may be some relation
to the assassination.
6. One 1967 message showing Cuban interest in Jim
Garrison's investigation of both the Kennedy Assassination and
David W. Ferrie.

I am reproducing below the note given to the press by the

with relation to the information published today in the
newspaper Excelsion in Mexico City, affirming that LEE HARVEY:
OSWALD had 
requested a transit visa for travel to the Soviet
Union 
at the Cuban Consulate ir. Mexico in September, the Cuban.
Government 
requested information from the officials of our
Consulate in that city confirming that it is certain that
Mr. LEE HARVEY 
OSWALD requested the transit visa for travel to
the Soviet 
Union on 27 September in the said Consulate..
On being informed by the consular officials that their
office could not grant such a visa without the authorization,
of the Cuban 
Ministry of Foreign Relations, which likewise
would not grant it if it was not previously authorized by the
country 
of destination, Mr. OSWALD left the Consulate visibly
disgusted.
The said visa was never granted.
This detail in connection with the other circumstance
that surround the facts, confirm our suspicion that the
assassination of KENNEDY was a provocation against world peace,
perfectly and 
thoroughly planned by the most reactionary sector
of the United 
States:

FIDEL stated, "Events are demonstrating the sinister plot
behind the assassination of KENNEDY. Contradictions show that
OSWALD was made the culprit by the police or was prepared to
commit the act with promise of escape, and was assigned activities
so as to have responsibility fall on or be insinuated against
those whom the perpetrators wished. It is clear that United
States reactionaries tried to make Cuba and the world the victims
of their criminal designs, even at the price of assasinating
their own president. They sent OSWALD to Mexico to request
a transit visa to Cuba for later travel to the USSR. Imagine

ALERT IN ORIENTE PROVINCE BELIEVED TO BE TERMINATED
The alert in Oriente Province (see 2/0/CUN/R196-63) is be-
lieved to be terminated. The alert, apparently prompted by
President KENNEDY's death on 22 November, was possibly pre-
scheduled to terminate on 25 November. There have been two orders
which suggest that the alert was destined to be concluded on
25 November; they are:
A
1) Access to the Coastal Observation Post at Punta
Maisi (20-15N 74-091) was restricted until 25 November because
of the alert (see 2/QS/CUN/R667-63); and
2) Subordinates of Banes, Headquarters Eastern Naval
District, were to receive further orders on the 25th, presumably.
concerning their alert status (2/0/CUN/R196-53); no such orders
have been noted in communications..
There have been no further references in intercepted communi-
cations to the alert since 02222 on 23 November (2/QS/CUN/R667-63).
It is possible that the restricted access to the Observation
Post at Putta Maisi extends to other Observation Posts in Oriente
Province such as reported on 23 November when First Army Coastal
Observation Posts were placed in an alert status
(2/21/CT/R138-63), and that the restriction was to be lifted on
D
25 November by all those posts.
Further Indication that the alert has terminated is the fact
that the Cuban Navy was engaged in an island-wide communications
It is considered unlikely that such 
an

exercise would be conducted under alert conditions.
There have been no further references to the alert status
of the (D percent Santiago de Cuba) units which was first ob-
Berved 23 November (2/31/CUA/R05-63).

counterrevolutionaries for the Central Intelligence Agency, tasks
in which he has availed himself of the very close collaboration of
his secretary, Miss CARMEN JIMENEZ GOMEZ((A)),
"Since February 1959, Counselor CALDEVILLA has undertaken the
job of recruiting members of the then Rebel Army, among them the
traitor ALDO VERA((A)), MARIO MARRERO((A)), and AGUSTIN PARRADA((A)).
The latter, once his activities were discovered, found it propitious
to flee the country to avoid prosecution.
"Along this same line, he also used the aforementioned Miss
CARMEN JIMENEZ GOMEZ, instructing her to infiltrate student
organizations for the purpose of creating diversionism in the
ideological order, and she established, for this purpose, intimate
relations with Mr. PEDRO LUIS BOITELL((A)), ex-President of the

arrested and sentenced to imprisonment on the Isle of Pines,
Miss JIMENEZ GOMEZ went there and carried out military and political
espionage activities. The data and information that she obtained
on that occasion were transmitted to Counselor JAIME CALDEVILLA,
and included microfilms.

an attempt against the life of the then First Deputy Chairman of
the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Mr. ANASTAS MIKOYAN,.
a guest in Cuba, for which purpose he delivered arms to a group
of counterrevolutionarly elements. It was not executed, according
to what Counselor CALDEVILLA himself claims, because of the
cowardice of the assassins, He also sought refuge and protection in
the home of his collaborator JOSE LUIS RODRIGUEZ ((A)), for Mr. ISRAEL
ZAMORA PEREZ ((A)), a fugitive from Cuban authorities for plotting
an attempt against the life of the Vice Prime Minister and Minister
of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces, Commander RAUL CASTRO RUZ,

necessary to request, as well as the participation of both in

from the Ministry of Communications who was in charge of the
espionage work of that organization. At that time Counsellor

Both were exposed by leaders of counterrevolutionary organizations,
having offered, on one occasion, to supply to one group rifles
with telescopic sights. The authorities have proof that one or
the other maintains relations with the well-known counterrevolutionary
leader MANUEL ARTIME, whom Mr. VERGARA visited in Miami sometime
before the mercenary invasion was crushed at Playa Giron, in
April 1961, with the knowledge of Counselor JAIME CALDEVILLA.
"It has been known that Counselor JAIME CALDEVILLA has been
dedicated, furthermore, for some time, to the illegal removal from
the country through the diplomatic pouches of the Spanish Embassy
of jewels and foreign currency delivered to him by different persons,
on a basis of 20 percent of its value. In this way, the removal
from the country of the possessions of ALVARO GONZALEZ GORDON((A))
