(DIR 87770, 12/9/63) A note written by Ann Good- pasture in 1963 seems to confirm Arehart's assumption that the tapes were retained at the station. ‘(The Soviet tap operation) people just keep bring- ing in the reels to me (the ones I give them are not labeled so they don't necessarily know which ones return.) The storage problem is one for us and as the reels come in with transcriptions, I store them... When we can erase them, I'll take off the labels and send them back out.

(See below.) -In the absence of any evidence otherwise~-Note: The Watson allegation says there was a photo“in Mexicd Cityinthe g mid-60's; not that it was found there--it is most . likely that the grapevine stories about a photo being found in Mexico arise from Ms. Goodpasture' $s report- ing the photo of the man who has since become known as the Mexico mystery man in the same cable that reported Oswald's visit to the Soviet Embassy. (See below.) The. findings of this Committee regarding the. general. Mexico City surveillance operations are presented in _ Section II, A and B above. In summary, this Committee > found that there were three photographic surveillance. bases (four cameras) that may have photographed Lee Harvey Oswald in September and October of 1963. This. was determined from analysis of project files for these operations and the testimony of CIA officials. (See preceding sections.) Waa hy 4 ay 3 ee | Classified by derivation: £9

In this regard it should be noted that this system can indicate the order in which . he cables were sent but not the order in which they were written because, at least in Mexico, several of _ _— the Station officers were drafting and sending cables. .

HSCA staff have wondered whether or not the Mexico City ‘I pn? v rus? rm wb ‘Station was entirely forthcoming of their own will with Headquarters. This speculation was based on three pieces of information. The first is the report in MEXI 7024 that Headquarters had all the available in- formation. The second is a note from Win Scott on the Routing and Record Sheet for MEXI 7033 _which says: —_—eee I had a call from Washington ( John Scelso) at -1620' hours on 23/XI. I told John Scelso at '1630 hours (our time) on.23/XI that this would be on route to him. The third is a cable reporting that on the 23rd Win Scott had an urgent call to see the President of Mexico. The cable reports that. Scott expected the. President to express his condolences over the assas—- sination but "developed that (Mexican agent) had - located call to Soviet Embassy of Lee Oswald ‘made on 28 September. Believe fact that (President | of Mexico) aware of this contact (from our joint operation) and passed data to COS is important." - - (MEXT 7023, 11/23/63, paras. 2 and 3) The Committee declines to speculate that the Mexico City | Station was possibly considering not reporting all the information available to them. It was considered that this may have been contemplated in order to pro- _ tect themselves from a charge about their failure to report the information prior to the assassination. | Classified by derivation: 387 iM_” (7 ur —€ ew —  ——_—€  «cme_7 i GA GA A =a

Station. Hence, the full report followed very shortly after the meeting between the Mexican President and Win Scott, and immediately after Scott discussed the. Situation with his nominal superior in Washington by telephone. Scott's superior was asked about this. He said that he did not remember the substance of his telephone call to Win Scott on the 23rd. (HSCA Deposition of John Scelso, 5/16/78, p. 88) "I do on eo not have any idea why (I called). I may have been os g ordered to call him on any number of things." (Ibid., p.- 87.) He was also asked about Scott's meeting with the Mexican President. - You get a psychological question. The Chief of Station is called in to speak to the Presi- dent of Mexico. There had been a big fight when the new Ambassador got there--no, it wasn't that. It was a very peculiar situation in Mexi- co whereby the Mexican President's primary con- . tact with the U.S. government was through our Chief of Station rather than through the Ambas- sadors. This caused no great problem with the then-Ambassador whose name I have forgotten. Q: Thomas Mann? A: Yes. He was a very fine guy and recognized — the usefulness of this arrangement. The next Ambassador, Mr. Freeman, tried to cut Win Scott out of contact with the President of Mexico, whereupon the President of Mexico. “called in Win Scott and said, "I want you “to ‘send a cable to the White House telling them I am not going to deal with this jackass, rT want to deal only with you." ‘So, ‘the ‘result was, eventually, Winston Scott and Ambassador Freeman went to the White House and talked to President Johnson and straightened the whole thing out in favor of . Winston Scott. “oak aa Nee ; | | i wi Seu ba dion $48
14-00000 (This form is to be used for material extrac from ClA~——controlled documents.) = 48 - So,.Scott is just remarking that it is. interesting that the President of Mexico is. aware of our telephone operation. Q: He should have been since it was a liaison operation. A: Yes. But you do not always know whether he was informed. I think we always knew he was informed. I think we always knew he was in- formed. It is just significant that the per- son calls you in and says, here is some intel-_ ligence about the Kennedy thing. (HSCA Deposition of John Scelso, 5/16/78, pp. 83-84.) Win Scott indicated that he was going to write a memoran- dum concerning his meeting with the President of Mexi- . yar — co. (Routing and Record Shhet for MEXI 7028, 11/23/63.) If Mr. Scott wrote such a memo, it has not been made | available to the HSCA. David Phillips, who after serv~ | ing in Mexico, went on to accumulate quite an impres- sive record as a Chief of Station in several countries himself, told Committee investigators that a memoran- dum of this sort, along with other "sensitive" informa- tion would be the type of thing that Win Scott probably kept in his private safe. (David A. Phillips Interview, 8/24/78, p. 10.) Mr. Phillips added that he did not know what happened to Mr. Scott's safe after he died ‘but he had heard vague stories about someone finding. a lot of documents that Scott had kept.
