ZHURAVLEV stated that OSWALD had actively conspired with two former US presidents to assassinate former President Kennedy. ZHURAVLEV when pressed could not provide any additional information. This information was transmitted to Headquarters in a staff channel message with no LIMIT or RYBAT control. We-have taken immediate steps to have this message removed from the message system to prevent further access to it. 7 (S-23 2. As back V is an unvetted volunteer who walked-in to n 30 December claiming to be a former KGB ficer with access to leads concerning Western agents of the KGB. The above information was obtained during the second meeting with him when the Station was attempting to obtain details on the alleged leads to which he claimed access. When. pressed to provide information, he had only one vague agent identification in Canada and para one above information. He was not able to provide any other leads despite claiming some twenty years of service in the KGB. 3. Based upon information received to date, we consider ZHURAVLEV to be a highly questionable source. 15 eyel describes him as being stressed out, shaking and in @2 fairly rough physical state; he was considered to be of no operational interest and to not have further intelligence value. He departed the Embassy without incident and no further contact is anticipated. O2 4. As regards para one (allegations, we have substantive information from [IJDECANTER (attached) which outlines Oswald and wife's KGB connections and emphatically denies any KGB involvement in dispatching Oswald to assassinate President Kennedy. We have no information from any Soviet intel source indicating that the KGB had contact with Oswald after he returned to the US or that he conspired with any other element in the assassination.
