The purpose of this nenorandum is to recommend that

dissoninate information from our BhamrockJinformant bearing

• (5)

on the asenssination of the late President Kennedy.

[Shamrock] is

the sensitive soviet source who contacted

the central Intelligence Agency (CIA) I-16-67 ahd volunteered

to furniah information, He la being handled by representatives

of CIA and Special Agente of our New York Office.

[Shamrock has recently reported certain details

concerning Soviet Fenction to the assassination of President

kennedy .

Shanzock reported the Soviets baû the kis (comittee

for State Security) make an extensive study of the assassin-

ation and, as a result of this study, the KGB concluded that

President Kennedy was killed by representatives of a group of

monopolists, characterized as the military industrial complex

in the United States.

The KGB felt that President Kennedy had

tried to linit the activities of this group of monopoliste

and therefore they planned his assassination.

Shamroci) further reported that the Boviets felt

that President Kennedy's death was a grent loss, not only for

the united States and the Sovlet Unlon, but for the whole

world.

Accordzng to Shamrock, the Soviets felt that they (,

could trust President Kennedy and could deal with him on a

cooperative basis.

Shamrock further stated that the Soviete 3)

mourned President Kennedy's death, a situation which shamrock CS)

considered very unique inasmuch as the person being journed

was a leader of another country.

The infornation turnished by Shamrock is very similarS)

to that previously furnished to us by Turi Nosenio, a Soviet

defector whose bona fides has not been established.

RE:

ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT

JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY

62 109060

We feel we should disseminate this data since

we have previously dissominated the information we received

from Yuri Nosenko regarding the assassination even though

we recognized some of the data was not subject to proof,

particularly, that occurring within the Soviet Union.

Ne feel that by documenting [Shamrock as a "confidential (S)

informant, contact with whom has been insufficient to

establish his reliability," we will alert other agencies

that the information has not been established as true.

He have received information from numerous other

sources that the Soviets did mourn the death of President

Kennedy and that Soviet leaders felt they could work with

President Kennedy.

ACTION:

lI you approve, we wit, disseminate the data furnished

by the Shanrock Informant as set out herein to the Department,)

to Secrat Servie, to State Dopertment and to boatrul
