           SUJErT:   nelay in sending the first cable about
                      OSNALD

                 1.  Much has been written about the dely  (b/Wthe Mexico
           Station)  ih s ending th e firs t cable reques ting traces -on t'i e
           name.Lee  OSWALD.. It was discussed in Dave Phillips book as a
           case  of laziness on the part of the Soviet case officer (ih ich
           in m.  view was unjust and unnecessar  and indicates that Dave
           didn't  know %hat he was talking about).

                 2.  Normally', the Spanish transcript for  e 1 October
            conversation -would have been picked up on th    ning of the
            2nd of October.  The Russian language port*      Id have gone
            to the Russian/English transcriber. on th        October.  The
            translation would have been returned          wing dar (4:t)
            at  aich time, the Soviet case offic         have asked for
            the photograp ic coverage.  That co       would not have  been
            in che station before the 7th si      e film was still in the
            camera on the 3rd -of October a     was picked up probably on
            the 4th, processed and passe         Station on the next work
            da   hich would have.been          October.

                 3.  Later the fil       aken out of the camera evezy dar
            but at that time, th        tyed  in the camera until a full
            roll was completed       mig1t take three or four dars.


              o  4.  A name trace could have been requested on the  bas is
            of the name alone but that wasn't the uw  Win Scott ran that
            Station.  He uanted the potographic  coverage tied in with  the
            telei one coverage...sometimes....the.re.-was....a U.S...automo.bile
            licers e number. .It was also part of the numbers game of
            justifying a project ly. the number of dispatches, cables or
            reports produced.
