Mr. Goldsmith. Yes. Mr. Helms. Begging your pardon, what was the question? Mr. Goldsmith. The question is, according to the record, the first time the Warren Commission was told about this photo- graph in mid-February of 1964, at that:time, the person who | informed the Commission about the photograph was Marguerite | Oswald, not the Agency. : Mr. Helms. I have no idea why the Agency had not raised the question of the photograph. The only supposition I can HH wt make, not knowing who it was, they did not know what to do about it, and they did not know its relevance or its signifi- cance. Mr. Preyer. Excuse me. We have another vote on. The Committee will recess for ten minutes. (A brief recess was taken.) Mr. Preyer. The Committee will resume its sitting. Mr. Goldsmith.
