You asked if I knew of any reason why Mr. BURNES had requestéd flagging of OP file "to be sure in- quiries would be referred to CD/Pers for further check with Ri files"... 2. Subject is the subject of CS file 201-748009, re- stricted to CI/R&A (Paul HARTMAN). From the file it is noted that Subject worked for CIA 27 Mar. '50-26 Sept. 'SO, resigning for personal reasons. The file was restricted because of involvement with Lee Harvey OSWALD, assassin of the.late President John Kennedy. While Subject was 2nd Secretary at the US Embassy in Moscow, on 31 Oct. 1959, he -Interviewed Lee Harvey OSWALD, when OSWALD appeared at the US’Embassy, stating that he wished to renounce his US citizenship and hecome a citizen of the USSR. (‘fv review shows nothing reflecting adversely on Subject in connection with that episode), <An article in the 28 Feb. 1964 edition of’ the Northern Virginia Sun, written by Robert S. ALLEN and ‘and Paul SCOTT, alleged that "State Department records show that OSWALD had several meetings with the CIA representative in-the U.S, Embassy in Moscow. .One State Department cable, No. 234, dated Nov. 2, 1959, reports that OSWALD was .interviewed by the CIA and other embassy officials." Ina memorandum dated 18 March 1964, addressed to Mr. J. Lee RANKIN, subject “Article Alleging that OSWALD Was Interviewed by CIA in Moscow", Mr. Richard Helms, then Deputy Director for Plans, commented on the allegation as follows: "I desire to state for the record that the allegation carried in this press report is utterly unfounded as far as CIA is concerned."
