» Docib 6598341 = 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, ineluding Cuban military. The search was also for material involving Marina Oswald, Jack Ruby or Earl Ruby (a Harvest run was made). [ ___|trastic « was also reviewed, looking for information concerning Swald"s-visit to Mexico. 44USC2107(5)(g)(2)(D) b (iii) 4, June 1976 - Pursuant to FOIA requests asking for material relating to Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination Released on 11-02-2017 under the John F.

Three Cuban military reports which show that Cuban military forces did ge on alert immediately after the assassihation. ; 3. One 1962 Cuban Intelligence ‘message concerning the assassination of Antonio Veciana. This message was to (Puerto Rico) SERAFIN. : 4. One 1966 CubanL_____ J 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.
