STATEMENT BY GARY H. LONNQUISI

88:603

I had originally helped Joyce Howard with a FOIA request. She

had a list of approximately ten names (all AKA's of OSWALD) she needed

searched on SANCA. I checked each of the names, went over them with

her to make certain they were relevant to the FOIA case and made a copy

from SANCA, for her, of all names searched. One of the names searched

was OSWALD, HARVEY LEE. There was one hit: a reference to OSWALD, HARVEY

• LEE in Security File Number 269298.

The subject of SFN 269298 is

• KRUPNOV, KIM GEORGIYEVICH and the file is maintained permanently in OS/ SAG.

A short time later (perhaps two weeks) I received a request for

the Security file on KRUPNOV, KIM GEORGIYEVICH.

I renembered we had a

file on him but searching SANCA I kept getting 'no hits'. I asked the

Chief/Indicies about it and she said ifait was there two weeks ago, it

should be there now.

I then asked John

Boll inger about it and he agreed

to check the original FOIA case.

He pulled the case and tried to --

explain to me whey there were 'no hits' on the name I was searching.

Unfortunately, as a new employee I was unable to understand the reason.

Today I can see that it's simply a matter of entering incorrect data

into SANCA. Any deviation, however slight, will result in 'no hits'

because the computer will give you exactly what you ask for--nothing

Apparently the second request had the name spelled incorrectly

and although I tried quite a few variations, I never got it exactly

correct.

I'm completely satisfied now that nothing irregular occurred

and that the only reason I couldn't find the file the second time was

because I was given an incorrect spelling of the subject's name.
