                                                    3 April  1998,



          MEMORANDUM  FOR:  Deputy  Executive Director

          VIA:              Director  of Information Management/DA

          FROM:             Lee  S. Strickland
                            Chief,  Information Review  Group, OIM/DA

          SUBJECT:          Release  of Oswald Security  File Pursuant To
                            Request  of Assassination Records  Review Board



                1.. Action Required:   None; this brief  is for information
          only  regarding a required  release pursuant to  the request of the
          Assassination  Records Review  Board (ARRB or JFK  Board).  This
          release  has been coordinated  with the DO JFK  Focal Point Officer,
          the  DA Information Review  Officer, the Office of  General Counsel,
          and  required external bodies;  it is scheduled  for transfer to the
          ARRB  for release to the  National Archives on or  about 17 April.


                2.  Background:  The  Oswald Security File,  maintained by the
          then-Office  of Security,  surfaced in February  1997 as our JFK
          records  review personnel  were responding to the  ARRB's Request
          for Additional  Information  and Records No. CIA-16  (Oswald Pre-
          Assassination  Files), dated  28 January 1997.   Before this, the
          file  had been reviewed in  1978 by the House Special  Committee on
          Assassination  (HSCA).  Unfortunately,  and probably  by oversight,
          the file  was not included  in the so-called JFK  sequestered
          collection1  and thus had not been  included to date in our
          releases  to the ARRB.  In  any event, however, approximately  92%
          of the  documents therein  are duplicative of documents  previously
          released  elsewhere in the  JFK collection by CIA.



          At  the conclusion of its investigation, the House Select Committee on
          Assassination (HSCA) sequestered all of the files that the HSCA staff had
          requested or been granted access. This sequestered collection includes 63
          boxes of hardcopy records and notes and'72 reels of microfilm.
