13-00000 SECRET Au: sc 10 February 1976 ~~ MEMORANDUM FOR: The Review Staff — ATTENTION: = =- Mr. Walter Elder — VIA: SA/DDO. SUBJECTS. 2: SSC RéeGu@st=2 2 REFERENCE: RS 76-0083/A (14 January 1976) 1. Re question number 1 of reference: Attachment "A" contains the names of Agency personnel who were in Mexico City, Mexico, during the period 1 September 1963 through 31 December 1963 and who are still. on duty. Attachment "B" contains the names of Agency personnel who were in Mexico City during this same period but are now retired or no longer on duty. It is understood that these attachments will be retained in the Headquarters building for use by the Committee Staff. 2. Re question number 3(a) of reference: For your background, the Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil (DRE) was a Cuban student exile entity founded in September 1960 as an anti-Communist revolutionary organization dedicated to the overthrow of the Castro regime. The parent organization of the DRE was the Directorio Revolucionario (DR), a revolu- tionary organization of Cuban students opposed to the Batista regime which actively joined the Castro forces by organizing a guerrilla move- ment which contributed greatly to the collapse of the Batista regime. The Castro government, themselves of student origin, recognized the DR power and by~passed them politically by forming the new regime without their participation. The original DR became Communist controlled and directed. While the Agency had no role in the founding, the DRE was an entity used by the CIA as a unilateral assét in pursuing U.S. policy objectives. CIA support to the DRE ceased on 30 September 1966 and formally terminated on 1 January 1967. At that time DRE files were reviewed and material dealing with CIA support and operations were either destroyed or turned over the JMWAVE Station. The DRE was expected to continue as an organizational entity and continue its activities independent of CIA. 3. The DRE files of both Station JMWAVE and Headquarters that are available have been reviewed and Lee Harvey Oswald's name does not appear in these files. WAVE cable 8049 (in 66782) of 22 November 1963, states: in the third sentence, "according AMSPELL files, Oswald", undoubtedly refers to the DRE files maintained in the DRE office in Miami, Florida.

13-00000 SECRET These entity files were independent of the JMNAVE Station files. Had Station JMWAVE. referred to its files in WAVE 8049 the cable would have been worded, “according AMSPELL Station files." The file of AMHINT-53, a former executive of the DRE, has also been reviewed and no reference to Oswald was found. The file number which appears on WAVE 8049 is no ----...- longer in.use_and.the contents.of.this.former_file.were transferred  _ into Oswald's and other 201 files by the CI Staff. A tape of the radio debate cited in WAVE 8049 is included in the Oswald 201 held by the CI Staff. --~- 4. Re question number 3(b) of reference: We-have: been unable-to-- determine-1f Station JMWAVE was instructed to review its files for information on Oswald. For many years the CI Staff has been the focal point for the collation of any and all. information concerning Oswald and if the J4WAVE files on any Cuban groups contained information on Oswald such information should bé reflected in Oswald 201 file. signed faymond A.
