RES. 21, HTH concanss) WASHINGTON, D.C. 20510 January 12, 1976 Mr. Walter Elder Review Staff Central Intelligence Agency Langley, Virginia aM. -Dear Walt: Attached are copies of Exhibits 2952 and 2955 to the Warren Commission Report. Exhibit 2952 is a letter from Mr. Hoover to Mr. Rankin in which he states he contacted a representative of CIA about a message turned over to CIA by Dr. Portell-Vila.- An interview of Dr. Portell-Vila about the contents of that message is Exhibit 2955. It should be noted that on May 22, cy 1964, the CIA representative said the message was not thought to relate to Oswald, so CIA's files on Oswald might not contain. this message. The staff has not been able to locate any material relating to this matter in CIA files on Oswald on the President's assassination. yO Therefore, we wish to obtain a copy of the message and all documents relating to it. We also wish to obtain copies of all documents relating to the May 22, 1963 contact which presumably was with Mr. Hoover or someone else in the FBI. We suggest that if the message is not contained in any files on Oswald or the Kennedy assassina- tion, the files of the other individuals named in the two exhibits should be searched. i . “, Bill Bader Attachments qunanss UM \ HW 542714 DBocld: 32977079 Page 2?
