DATE: 14 July 1976

SUBJECT:

Inquiry from Richard Russell of Dial Press. Concerning Dallas Field

Office Association with Lee Harvey Oswald and George deMohrenschildt

• On the evening of 13 July 1976, at about 2100, Mr. Richar

Russell of the Dial Press and the Dell Publishing Company, came bj

my house.

He advised that he was working on a book on the Kennedy

assassination and that he understood I was a friend of George

deMohrenschildt.

He wanted to know. if I had ever met Lee Harvey Oswald

or if deMohrenschildt had ever suggested that I should see Oswald.

I told him no on both counts and advised that I have not seen or

talked with George. deMohrenschildt since the fall of 1961.

2. Mr. Russell attempted to draw me into discussion of the

Kennedy assassination which I avoided and wanted to know if I could

give him the name of the chief of the CIA office in Mexico City in

1963. I told him I could not, and he said he could probably get the

name from Mr. David Phillips. I do not foresee any adverse publicity

as a result of Mr. Russell's visit but felt that it should be made a

matter of record.
