This Tettar, trem the Warren Commission and\Yto be transmitted throngh the Department of State, would seek additional evi- dence which is. presumably available in Soviet files whick could assist the Commission's deliberations. Wr. Dulles did not have.a detailed idea of what he wanted to ask the Soviets | for but did say that the questions should be “not tco tech nical.” Although Mr. Angleton thought that :‘the letter should ~ be written only after the CIA report and comments have been complated, in order to make the letter as effective as possi~ bie, Hr. 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 letter based on our concrete findings. Mr. Dulles asked CIA only for the questions and not for a draft letter: Mr. Murphy suggested that we ask ~ only for certain records rather than put specific questions to the Soviets. Hr. Murphy suggested that these might include . Soviet tospital records connected with Lee Oswald's attempted suicide, “city: visa and. registration records for Hoscow and - Minsk, factory personnel records from Oswald's place of employ «ment, ete, ~AIso Oswald's diary noted that his case had passed through two > commissions in the USSR; we might ask for the --yecords of these commissions as yell.

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 Hr. Helms shortly. .

Mr. Angleton and Mr. 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 . - t- ‘answers to this interim questionnaire in order to reconstruct : _a detatled chrénology of Oswald's time in tha:USSR and to H comment on his activity there.
