SUBJECT

Allegations of Lee Harvey OSWALD's

Cannection with the Agency

REFERENTO

Memorandum of Conversation,

Rather/Les Midgley and the DCI,

Dated 6 September 1975

948165

The referent memorandum contains two points

which reguire comments.

The first point concerns

allegations that were made shortly after the assassination

of President Kennedy and thatchave crept up every so often

since then.

an one form or

that lee Harvey oswAL hadbeen connected with the Agency.

The allegations are totally

unfounded.

2. The facts regarding

thematter are as follows:

Wovembet 1963 I was instructed by

• Mr. R.G. Rocce

my immediate superior at that time, to

make a thoraigh

checkSwithin the Agency at Headquarters

to determine whether

Lee Harvey OSWALD had ever been

ised by the Agencylor been connected with it in any

conceivable way.

He ordered me to make the checks

directly and personally to the degree possible and not

to accept statements of intermediaries.

He also ex-

plained that he was following instructions from Mr. R.

Helms, who was then the DDP and served as one of the

Agency's key contact officials with the Warren.

Although I had already checked the Main Index

of IP (then RID) on the night of the assassination, I

rechecked the Main Index and found no record beyond

that which I had already obtained before (plus those

items which had been integrated into the records system

since the assassination).

There was nothing in the DDO

records which indicated any Agency connection with

that the results showed that Lee Harvey OSWALD

Eventuady a statement to this effect

was communicated to the Warren Commission.

checks regarding use or employment.

Kad been requested by the foreign divisions

of their appropriate stations, I was told, and the

results were negative.

I recall very clearly that we were extremely

concerned at the time that OSWALD, as an American returning

from the USSR, might have been routinely debriefed by

DCD, thus having established contact with the Agency.

The same point has now, quite understandably been made

by the two CBS newsmen.

Having some knowledge of this

subject I have personally concluded that there is valid

reason for DCD's lack of interest in OSWALD at that time.

He would surely have been contacted and debriefed by DCD

had he been to the USSR and returned to the

Travel to the Soviet Union by Westerners,

particularly by Americans, before that time was quite

uncommon and we were hungry for eyewitness information in

The thaw began in about 1956 and by the end

of that decade there were so many persons travelling to

and from the Soviet Union that DCD was incapable of talk

ing to all of them.'

Therefore, a program of selectivity

and specifichtarget applicability was instituted.

light of the above, it

seems to me that OSWALD

came to DeDIgattention at all-would have easily been

should be added that my above-described

search in the Agency file holding produced no record or

him as a source or had considered him for recruitment.

I just want to be sure that you are satisfied that this Agency

is giving you all the help that we possibly can in connection

with your investigation of the situation, in Dallas. I know

the importance the President places on this investigation

you are making. He asked me personally whether CIA was

giving you full support. I said that they were, but I just

wanted to be sure from you that you felt so.

We have had the very best support that we could possibly

expect from you.

Good. Well you can call on us for anything we have.

We will feel free to do that

I think it is an exceedingly important investigation and report

and I am delighted that the President has called on you to

make it.

We are trying to do it as fast as we can so we can dispel various

wild rumors that have been circulating as to whether this man

was the right man etc. that fired the gun.

But there is no question

that he is the right man.

There are a lot of aspects that we have

dug up, for instance, with regards to the matter i: Mexico City.

We have now found that the: photograph that was ta en was not

that of Oswald.

We do find from our informant dom there that

Oswald did call at the Embassy that day and the informant has

given us the conversation that he had. He wanted to get a permit

to go back to Russia and the Cuban Embassy couldn't give him

the permit. The Soviet Embassy stated that it waid take three

weeks.

He had, I think, a visitor's permit for about a week or

ten days so that is why he came back to the United States.

Well, all of that ties in importantly into the story and we have

those operational sources down there.

We want to handle them

very carefully. It involves some very high level people down

there. Sam Papich and I have talked about that a couple of times.

Martz lint

Mr. Katzenbach

who is handling it for the Department-

it is our intention when the Bureau finishes the report, he will

of course go over it very carefully because it will be a report

that will be released to the public, probably through the White

House, but it is the intention after it is in final form to be

checked with each of the Government agencies that are mentioned

in it.

State Department is involved in regard to the issuing of

the passport to the man to come back to this country and that

has got to be explained why it was done, the law requires it, etc..

all of which of course we are gathering. The aspects of the

Mexico City thing. It will have to be mentioned.

• It is his

intention to check with the agencies, Secret Service, etc. to be

sure that whatever is said in the report is conferred in and it

is agreed to by the various agencies mentioned. So you will

have that opportunity to go over it and see exactly what is said

and I know he will welcome any suggestion that you care to make-

Well that will be fine. Thank you

MEMORANDUM FOR: M.. Rocca

"Internal Mano Reyarding Agency's Position in

Dealing

with

Warran

Commission

L The DDP called me this afternoon, 12 May, to state:

that the Dirgotor has received a telephone call from RANKIN

regarding the Commission's desire to interview him at 1030 AM)

Thursday.

MI. HOOVER is scheduled to appear at 9:00 on that

morning.

The DDP wishes to have from you a sho

comprehensive memorandum which highlights the basic issues or

positions entered into by the Agency in its dealings with the

Commission®

For example, RANKIN indicated that the Commission

would wish to hear the Dire ctor's views as to how improvements

might be made in protecting the President's life.

Further, they

will probably ask questions regarding the possibilities that a con-

spiracy existed. Such general questioning certainly necessitates

that the DCI be made aware of the positions taken during previous

interviews.

I raised with Mr. HELMS the nature of the recent

information which you are processing which originated with the

sensitive WH/source.

I informed him that in your view this would

raise a number of new factors with the Commission, that it should

not go to the Commission prior to the Director'e appearance unless

we have first had age preliminary reaction or made sure that the

Director is fatty

aware of its implications since it could well serve

ad the basig or detailed questioning.

Feview thie

vestion of timing.

Given the schedule, you will

he knew of anything further, important or unimportant, which

he had anything along these lines and receiving a negative

could make them without actually quoting the entire trans-

2. My conclusion is that Oswald visited the Cuban

Consulate at least twice and probably three times.

This seems so because:

a. There is no evidence whatever that he was at the

Cuban Consulate at any time on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday of

Wednesday •

b. We know for sure that Oswald was at the Cuban

Consulate at least once on Friday and at least once on

Saturday, see CIA memorandum, pages 6 through 8.

and earlier than the visit to the Cuban Consulate during which

SIlvia Duran "confirmed" to Oswald that he would have to get

a Russian visa first and during which she gave Oswald a slip

of paper with her name and telephone number; because Azque

telephoned the Russian Consulate after arguing with Oswald,

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Foreign Intelligence

SUBJECT:

Confirming our conversation of 26 June 1963, I make

following recommendations concerning the further handling

possible disposition of QJWIN:

I believe the original purpose for which

QWIN was continued and sent to his

present under

for this purpose

D. OMEN, APROHIRITED

competent,

agent who is capable of operating in certain circles

in Europe where we have very few

assets.

Whether this

is of sufficient worth to continue his services depends

on the determination of how he can be used either by

the AustrIan station or by

term unofficial

cover agent.

He is not being used at the present time.

He is being paid but he is on ice as far as any

operational assignments are concerned.

C.

It is recommended that the present Chief of

Station Luxembourg and

be consulted by

Headquarters for their best recommendations as to

the continued use of QWIN.

After these recommendations

are received, I suggest that the German and Austrian

stations be consulted for their possible interest in

using him.

If after these discussions a sensible

framework for the operational use of QJWIN can be

established, I would recommend we continue him.

not,

I would recommend that he be terminated at the

time his present contract expires.

As far as the ZRRIFLE aspects of this operation

security reasons and with which Fletcher M. KNIGHT 1s fully

EDNOOD had at one time an

OI interest in Oswald.

As soon as I had heard Oswall's name, I recalled

that as Chief of the 6 Branch I had discussed - sonetime in Summer 1960 -

with the then Chief and Deputy Chief of the 6 Research Section the laydng

on of interview(s) through KUJÜMP or other suitable channels. • At the

moment I don't recall if this was discussed while Oswald and his family

were en route to our country of if it was after their arrival.

2.

I remember that Oswald's unusual behavior in the USSR had struck =

me from the moment I had read the first ODACID dispatch on him, and I

told my subordinates something amounting to "Don't push too hard to get

the information we need, because this individual looks odd." We were

particularly interested in the OI Oswald night provide on the Minsk

factory in which he had been employed, on certain sections of the city

itself, and of course we sought the usual BI that might help develop

target personality dossiers.

I was phasing into my LPOVER cover assignment, and out of KUDOVE, at

the time.

I would have left our country shortly after Oswald's artival.

I do not know what action developed thereafter.

4. As an afterthought, I recall

also that at the time I was becoming

increasingly interested in watching develop a pattern that we had discovered

in the course of our bio and research work in 6: the number of Soviet

women marrying foreigners, being permitted to leave the USSR, then eventually

divorcing their spouses and settling down abroad without returning "hone".

The AEOCEAN 3 case was among the first of these, and we eventually turned

up sonething like two dozen similar cases.

We established links between

some of these women and the KGB.

KUDESK became interested in the developing

trend we had come across.

It was partly out of curiosity to learn if

Oswald's wife would actually accompany hin to our country, partly out of

interest in Oswald's own experienced in the U SSR, that we showed operational

intelligence interest in the Harvey story.

(

Volume V of the SSC Final Report conveys an impression of

limited effort by CIA in the course of the Warren Commission

inquiry. As is noted in other annexes to the present report,

CIA did seek and collect information in support of the efforts

of the Warren Commission. Additionally, it conducted studies and

submitted special

analyses and reports.

The following pages list reports and other papers submitted

to the FBI (which had primary responsibility for the investigation)

and to the Warren Commission. It is felt that this compilation

is appropriate to consideration of the extent of the CIA effort,

to the extent that it reveals something of the results of that

effort.

The lists fall into the following sections:

E.1

Dissemination to the Intelligence Community
