Angleton and Rocca on tha evening of 64. In turn, Mr. Angleton was reporting. tous the ub Stance of his meeting with lir. Allen Dulles, Mri. @ Hankin, Chie? Counsel, ‘Hr. Vellins of the. gustice” afternoon of 14 Jamuary 1964. 2. Hr. Angleton said that Ur. 3 voked by press accusations that the VaR Commission ‘has been dilatory, asked CIA for suggestions of Questions or na letter to iS SORE : This letter, rom the Warren Comaission and throngh the Department of State, would seek additional evi- dence which is presumably availabis in Soviet files wirick could assist the Commission's deliberations. Mr. Dulles did rot have a detailed idea of what he wanted to ask the Soviets _ for but. did say that the questions should be "not too tech nical." Although Mr. Angleton thought thatthe letter should ~ be written only after the CIA report and comments have been ‘comploted, in order to make tke letter as effective as possi- ble, tir. Dulles felt it should go now, be phrased in generali- ties and allow the Soviets more flexibility in their handling of the natter than would a.more pointed lettex based on our concrete findings. iz. Dulles asked CIA only for the qvestions and not for.a draft letter. Mr. Murphy suggested that we ask « oaly for certain records rather than put specific questions to the Soviets. Mr. Murphy suggested that these might inciude Soviet hospital records connected with Lee Oswald's attempted suicide, “eity: visa and registration records for Moscow and ‘Yinsk, factory personnel records from Oswald’s place of employ— ment, etc. . Also Oswald's diary noted that his case had passed . i ‘through two commissions in the USSR; we might ask for the ‘records of these commissions as well. Hr. Angleton said that’ in transmitting our suggestions to Mr. Dulles ve can include any introductory paragraphs or explanatory comments that” ve - ee ee een erioy etiam ieee ie a : oy | cman ui 212 Docla: 32373017 ‘Page 153

Mr. Bagley suggested that. tie narrative chronology of Oswald's stay in the Soviet Union be ‘convarted: tora chronology tabulation which would permit us more sim BPAY to insert added details and dates as we. learned of ther Nae other documentation which we can expect to receive shortly. This was agreed. _ t ” i (Notes f instructed Mx.

These include Secret Service interviews with Marina Oswald, letters from. Lee Oswald in the USSR and other material. He promised to send this material to Mr. Helms shortly. _ (Note: We will ‘pass appropriate parts of this material to DERYABIN for further analy- sis along the lines of his earlier work .on documents already in our possession. ) 5. .

Bagley agreed, pointing out that DERYABIN’s comment and speculation could be put off to the side as explanatory con - ment on exch question, 8S appropriate. Mr. Angleton and Hr. Murphy thought that it would be desirable to send this paper — to the Warren Commission in advance of other CIA reports with. a memorandum informing the Commission that we would need. ” - answers to this interim questionnaire in order “to reconstruct a detailed chronology of Oswald's time in the USSR and to ; - comment.on his activity there.

Te - One matter“which had. been brought to “light by the Oswald case was the: ‘need for a mechanism in the United States Government to record” ‘and assimilate our knowledge of ‘the Soviet ‘handling of: American defectors to tke USSR. The Bureau is ° apparently: in; Some danger of criticism for its failure to keep } an ey KAowmeswald after his return. Similarly CI& has not syste: fcally collected nor compiled information on Soviet defector handling. Berlin Base had kept a list of.-American defectors at one time, but these individuals have not. been debriefed on their return to the West. — 8. The Commission representatives at the 14 January 1964 meeting estimated that the Warren Commission would need from. three to. six months to complete its task. 9. Hr. Bagley raised the question of the dostrability of having DSRYABIN yarticipate personally, representing the FBI as an interpreter perhaps, in a debriefing of Marina. - \Messrs. Angleton and Murphy were convinced that CIA must avoid direct involvement with this investigation.
