WASHINGTON, D.C. 20510

January 12,

1976

Mr. Walter Elder

Review Staff

Central Intelligence Agency

Langley, Virginia

Dear Walt:

76-00%3

This letter will confirm verbal requests made by Mr. Dwyer

of the Senate Select Committee staff to Mr. Dan Nieschui re-:

garding materials pertaining to the assassination of President

Kennedy.

1.

The Senate Select Committee requests

a listing of all Mexico

City Station personnel for the period of September through

December 1963.

The Committee requests this list on an access

basis only, to be retained

at the CIA for use by the Committee

staff.

2. The Senate Select Committee requests clarification on what

documents were filed in the Oswald 201

as of November 22, 1963.

Both Mr. Hartman and Mr. Wall, CI Staff, have stated there were

five documents in the file:

two Department of State Foreign Dis-

patches (FS Dispatch #806 dated May 5, 1961 and FS Dispatch #317;

dated December 12, 1901); one Office of Naval Intelligence memor-

andum (May 26, 1962 from H. T. Hadenberg); and two FBI Reports.

Mr. Hartman stated the FBI Reports were reports of SA John Fain

но го оба

dated August 30, 1962 and July 3, 1961. Mr. Wall stated the

FBI Reports were an October 31, 1963 Report of SA Milton Kaack

and a May 12, 1960 Report of SA John Fain.

3.

•(a) Cable traffic from JMVAVE Station to Headquarters fol-

lowing the President's assassination reveals that JMAVE's file

contained injormation on Lee Harvey Oswald. For example, WAVE 8049

(IN 66782), November 22, 1963, states that AMSPELL files (Cuban

Student Directorate) of

JMVAVE have background information on

Oswald. The Senate Select Committee requests access to Cuban

Student Directorate files of JMWAVE that contain information on

Oswald.

(b) The presence of information on Oswald in AMSPELL files

Of JWAVE suggests the possibility that JUVAVE files on other

Cuban exile groups might contain information on Oswald. The

Senate Select Committee would like to determine if JWAVE Station

was instructed by Headquarters to review its files for informa-

tion on Oswald and if JMHAVE files on Cuban groups contain any

information about Oswald.

The Senate Select Committee requests

access to JMNAVE files on Cuban groups that contain

such informa-

tion.
