Well, to question a businessman, say, about his business, do you think that he would have been very familia in the facets of the business -- and my question is, would the person who questioned Nosenko about Oswald, would you expect that that person should be very familiar with the facts of Oswald's life and especially everything we knew about Oswald in Russia? Mr. Bagley. Yes. Mr: Klein. And this committee, as is stated in the report, questioned, took a deposition from the particular agent who was assigned to question Nosenko about Oswald, and was the only agent who performed that questioning on the 3rd of July and the 27th of July, and he stated that his knowledge of Oswald came from the media, what he had read as all of us look at the newspapers and hear on television. Do you think that that is a satisfactory way to investi- gate what Nosenko knew about Oswald? Mr. Bagley. The word "satisfactory" is a difficult one. — Mr. Klein. Adequate. Mr. Bagley.

This committee is very” “grateful to have your talents. | Mr. Anderson. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. <>. Mr. Harvey. Percy Harvey from Mr. Harold Ford's staff: Chairman Downing. John, Mr. Sprague is just beginning, — || nis presentation. ee "All right, Mr. Sprague. Me. Sprague. Mr. Chairman, if I may, I will just start from the beginning. | | “As Iwas stating, upon taking this position as chee counsel : and director, I have taken it with a number 68 | assumptions which I think I ought to state piéhiniartiiy |p One is that the Congress of the United States, in passing “the resolution for the Select Committee on Assassinations, “intends that there be a thorough, hopefully definitive a “investigation with regard to each of the assassinations, Martin Luther King and President Kennedy. Secondly, I have made an assumption that. one of the: 5 ||. reasons that these investigations have come into > being | is. “that questions have arisen, criticism has arisen, with “| resara to prior investigations, the extent to" which. other. || agencies of government, particularly tne fresive anon Of. ‘government, participated in those Previous, investigations,
and the extent to which those other agencies withheld "information, or did certain acts that perhaps indicate.” destruction of documents affecting the results of the investigation. Gf I am not :stating, saying whether those things are || so or not. I want to say to this committee that’r have; || no conciusions, I have not the slightest opinion, with ||. regara to either death, with regard to any. wrongdoing by Bag agencies of " governnent, with regard to any inaccuracies, yf wien regard to what has been developed in the peste I. stake “the function now to be to thoroughly investigate and “Il ascertain what is the evidence, indicating who in fact ee were the participants in either of the assassinations. © - . Is there any additional evidence that was not known... _ earlier? “In addition, is there any evidence indicating that). - “IL there may have been participation ineach of the assassinations “by more than one person, and whether or not any agenéies | of government have impeded attempts to ascertain the answers to those questions before? oe With that again being an assumption on my part, a take: sit that this Congress would not, in authorizing this” iv “investigation, have as its investigators the agencies of “lh the ‘Federal Government that perhaps might be part of the. | area to be investigated. By that, to be specific, it. seems, a Docia: 32266815 ‘PHge- 7
to me that. what has to be for this investigation. to be: = thorough, at least attempt to be definitive, is an sraopencen investigative staff of the Congress, not beholden to. any : other agency of government. Again that is one of oe " assumptions that I have made in analyzing what has to be || done, and making a determination to recommend to you as é to: what kind of staff is necessary for this Investigationg — ox am n not stating whether or not the Congress’ was avare as “to what really is involved in the investigation of ae “homiciaes, two deaths. It is not ‘something that you do. with “oiree investigators and two file clerks. Y opon taking this assignment, I have instituted. a number “of measures, and have taken certain actions uP to this” hee , point, one of which was to be in touch with agencies. of ea ‘tne phrecutive branch of government, the CIA, the Department I[s98, Justice, who spoke in behalf of that department and the oP per, to initiate requests for access to material in. ‘their “spabsesbton, Suffice to say that the indications ‘up to’ this ff point have been that of full cooperation, and I: r might’ she Bee ‘that in speaking to the representative from. the cra, oe - advisea me that just at the initiation of our investigation, "the CIA has some 64 cartons of documents toe examination | “ana review, which points out to some extent really. the “ |] size of the task that is being undertaken here, pecause | aca | ee PREHGY rn oe |p. we are dealing there with just one ramen of the e precutive Docid: 32266815 -PHge 8.

Several Cuban groups, such as the DRE, were meeting in Puerto Rico at this time for fund-raising activities. Johnson pointed out that Orest Pena visited Puerto Rico in August of 1963, however, the purpose of his trip may not have been fully investigated by the Warren Commission. Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo of SFNE algo began his fund-raising tour at this time. Johnson recommends we specifially check station files in Puerto :<Rico and other stations for integration of reports into the main Washington files, since many files were not sent to Washington headquarters as a matter of routine. The Senate Committee made no attempts to obtain these files. JOhnson found military intelligence had destroyed many files and hence, it was difficult to reconstruct their operations. Also, in 1963 there were many intelligence operations and special groups which did not fall into the agency structures in any normal way, and these might be more difficult to obtain documentation on. However, Johnson recommended we request files on operations directed against Cuba after 1962, with special attention to Puerto Rico in August of 1963. Johnsen also went over some specific events and individuals of interest, such as AM/LASH, which in October 1963 was completely insecure since the FBI had received information

Hart, who represented the Central Intelligence Agency here on September 15, a testi- mony which misled you and misused me. As the former deputy chief of the Soviet Bloc Division of CIA and directly responsiole for the case of the KGB defector Yuri Nosenko from 1962 to 1967, I can reply more accurately to your questions and can bring you a better understanding of this matter. For one thing, I wit oN" have to rely as did Mr. Hart on archeological digs into those forty file drawers of information. Hr. Hart's six-month expedition obviously failed to understand what they dug up, and their leader was highly selective in what he cnose to exhibit here. For another, I will not disqualify myself, as he did, from talking about Lee Harvey Oswald, one of the most important aspects of the Nosenko case, nor about the case of the earlier defector here called "X," which is a critical factor in understanding Nosenko. CIA's selection of Mr. Hart to study the Nosenko case, and later to present it to you, came to me as a great Surprise and mystery. He seemed to bring few qualifications MW 355368 Doolid:322666820 Page i
