MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

15 June 1978

SUBJECT: Actions Taken by NSA to Locate Information Related

to the Assassination of President Kennedy

A. Over the past fourteen and one-half years, NSA has

performed a number of separate in-depth reviews of materials in

its files

in an attempt to isolate data that might be relevant

to the assassination of President Kennedy. Nothing of significance

has been determined as a result of those reviews.

1. November-December 1963 - Immediately after the

assassination, NSAinitiated a large-scale manual and machine

review of available SIGINt, including all U.S./ Cupa traffic (NSA

intercepted messages at an average of 1,000 per day at that time.

1 computer search was initiated using Oswald's name as the minimun

for research criteria. Additionally, all traffic between Cuba/New

Orleans and Cuba/Dallas was manually reviewed (an analyst involved

recalled that 25 to 50 analysts reviewed the traffic manually,

along with traffic from Cuba and some Soviet traffic). Sometime

during the search, items from the Oswald address book

provided by

the FBI were added to the search criteria.

2.

1964 - Warren Commission - The Commission, in the

person of Allan Dulles, asked NSA to review the exhibits for any

secret writings or codes which might have been contained in the

documents.

It also appears that NSA searched records

for information

on the basis of other Warren Commission requests made informally

by Allen Dulles.

3. November 1975 - Senate Select Committee to Study

Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities (SSC) :

In response to an SSC request on the Assassination,

NSA

reviewed its Soviet and Cuban files, including Cuban military.

The search was also for material involving Marina Oswald, Jack Ruby

or Earl Ruby (a Harvest run was made) • Mexican traffic was also

reviewed, looking for information concerning Oswald's visit to

Mexico.

4.

June 1976 - Pursuant to FOIA requests asking for

material relating to Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination

of President John F. Kennedy, NSA again searched the files.

Strongbox searches were made on the following:

Lee Harvey Oswald

1966 - 1976

Assassination of

President Kennedy

Earl Ruby

Cobo Cleaners

1966 - 1976

1966 - 1977

1966 - 1977

5.

December 1976 - Senate Select Committee on Intelli-

gence (SSCI) - Requested all the material we had available on the

Cuban agent problem.

It consisted of 485 reports for the period

1961 - 1965. All of these reports were received by Committee

Staff Members.

6.

March 1978 - House Select Committee on Assassinations -

Requested all data on Cuban intelligence network and other materials

relating to the Assassination.

All Cuban agent material (1961 - 1964)

was reviewed, as was material that had been previously compiled to

respond to the SSCI and SSC requests.

As a result of the reviews described above, the following

materials which may have some relevance to the assassination were

located (referenced material inclosed at numbered tabs) :

1. Four Cuban diplomatic messages which contained

official Cuban comments regarding press items that discussed Oswald's

activity in late September 1963 to obtain a visa to travel to

MOSCOW •

There were also comments on the assassination itself.

The messages are dated in the last week of November 1963.

2. Three Cuban military reports which show that Cuban

military forces did go on alert immediately after the assassination.

3.

One 1962 Cuban Intelligence message concerning the

assassination of Antonio Veciana. This message was to (Puerto

Rico) SERAFIN.

4. One 1966 Cuban Diplomatic message concerning a Spanish

diplomat in Cuba. It referenced a 1960 plan in Cuba to assassinate

an USSR dignitary in Cuba and against Raul Castro Ruz, possibly

linking it to the CIA.

5. Information in an FBI document relating to a French

Intelligence agent was supplied by NSA.

Because this document

was to be turned over to the HASC, there may be some relation

to the assassination.

6. One 1967 message showing Cuban interest in Jim

Garrison's investigation of both the

Kennedy Assassination and

David W.

Ferrie.

would not grant it if it was not previously

authorized by the

Contradictions show that

OSWALD was made the culprit by the police or was prepared to

cormit the act with promise of escape, and was assigned activities

so as to have responsibility fall on or be insinuated against

those whom the perpetrators wished. It is clear that United

States reactionaries tried to make Cuba and the world the victims

of their criminal designs, even at the price of assasinating

their own president.

They sent OSWALD to Mexico to request

a transit visa to Cuba for later travel to the USSR. Imagine

The alert, apparently prospied by

wnich suggest that the alert was destined to ba concluded on

25 lovenber; they are:

::1) Access: to the Coastal Observation Post at Punta

Kalsi (20-15N 74-0S1)) was restricted until 25 Noveaber because

of the alezt (see 2/QS/CU3/R667-53); and

2) Subordinates of Bines, Readquarters Rastem Naval

District, were so recelva furtier orders on the 25th, presumably.

conceming their alert status (210(CUu/r126-53); no such orders

hare been noted in conications.

Theze hare been no further references in intercepted comani-

cations to the alert since 02227 on 23 Novenuer (2/Q5/CUN/R667-63) •

It is possible that the restricted access to the Observation

Observation Posts here placed li an alett status

[21: 21/001/P139-53), aud that the restriction was to be lifted on

that have been carried out against the integrity and stability

of the state by Mr. JAIME CALDEVILLA Y GARCIA VILLAR, Press

Counselor of the Spanish: Embassy, who intolerably abused

the

diplomatic immunity and privileges granted him and used them

for purposes, like those cited, that are very different from the

functions assigned to him.

"With the purpose of documenting what has already been

indicated, I take the liberty of informing you below in detail, of

the charges which have been brought against Counselor JAIME CALDEVILLA,

proved in an authentic and irrefutable manner, and which compel

us to formally and expressly request his imnediate departure from

the country persona non grata.

of ideological diversionism and the recruitment of agents and

counterrevolutionaries for the Central Intelligence Agency, tasks

in which he has availed himself of the very close collaboration of

his secretary, Miss CARMEN JIMENEZ GOMEZ ((A) ).

"Since February 1959, Counselor CALDEVILLA has undertaken the

traitor ALDO VERA((A)), MARIO MARRERO((A)), and AGUSTIN PARRADA( (A) ) .

The latter, once his activities were discovered, found it propitious

to flee the country to avoid prosecution.

"Along this same line, he also used the aforementioned Miss

CARMEN JIMENEZ GOMEZ, instructing her to infiltrate student

organizations for the purpose of creating diversionism in the

ideological order, and she established, for this purpose, intimate

relations with Mr. PEDRO LUIS BOITELL (A)); ex-President of the

It was not executed, according

the other maintains relations with the well-known counterrevolutionary

leader MANUEL ARTIME, whom Mr. VERGARA visited in Miami sonetime

before the mercenary invasion was crushed at Playa Giron, in

April 1961, with the knowledge of Counselor JAIME CALDEVILLA.

"It has been known that Counselor JAIME CALDEVILLA has been

the country through the diplomatic pouches of the Spanish Embassy

of jewels and foreign currency delivered to him by different persons,
