Your 29 March 1977 memorandum; Subject: Allegations
Regarding.Lee Harvey Oswald File


       I.  Pursua t to reference, representatives of this office
  interviewed Mr             xtensively on 30 and 31 March regarding
  what he thought nappened vis-a-vis the Oswald -file, Whn  the  -
  incident happened in approximately May-1975 Mr
  GS-4 file clerk, brand-new to the Agency and wo Kg     i       urity
  Records Division of OS.  Further, during the time in question
  Mrl          was  reading a popular book entitled They Have Killed
  the restdent  by  Robert Sam Anson.

      2.  Mr.            onvinced us that he was confused  and there is
 no reason to believe that a name was erased from SANCA  or that a file
 was destroyed.  It is quite possible that he became  confused over the
 reference to one L. Oswald in a covert file on Raymond  E. Wright.
 Mr. Wright was investigated by the Agency in 1955 and contained  in
 that file, as a part of a San Francisco Field Office  investigation,
 was a police report listing 66 persons who on January 6,  1941 signed
 a petition in Los Angeles protesting the prosecution of a  left wing
 labor leader.  All 66 names, including L. Oswald were indexed.  Since
 Lee Harvey Oswald was 2 years old in 1941 they were obviously not one
 and the same.  However this may not have been apparent to a brand-new
 GS-4clerk,   At         rto  are copies of 3 separate statements
 prepared by Mr.           which further explain how his confusion may
 have been caus-.

     3.  Representatives  of this office have spoke  toall  oartici-
pants in the 22 March  farewell dinner in which Mr.           6ade
the statements about  the Oswald file.  Finally, Mr            was
convinced of the need  in the future to report such conces   officially
rather than at a social gathering.  The purpose of  this memorandum is
to enable you to close your records on the matter  and to advise that
no further action will be taken.
