MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Security
FROM : John H. Waller
Inspector General
SUBJECT :
REFERENCE : Your 29 March 1977 memorandum; Subject: Allegations
Regarding Lee Harvey Oswald File
1. Pursuant to reference, representatives of this office
interviewed Mr. ]extensively on 30 and 31 March regarding
what he thought.happened vis-a-vis the Oswald file. When thel
incident happened in approximately May 1975 Mr. ]was a
GS-4 file clerk, brand-new to the Agency and working in the Security
Records Division of OS. Further, during the time in question
Mr. was reading a popular book entitled They Have Killed
the President by Robert Sam Anson.
2. Mr. convinced 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-4 clerk. Attached hereto are copies of 3 separate statements
prepared by Mr.7 ---I which further explain how his confusion may
have been caused.
3. Representatives of this office have spoken to all partici-
pants in the 22 March farewell dinner in which Mr ade
the statements about the Oswald file. Finally, Mr.[ ?I was
convinced of the need in the future to report such concerns 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.
John H. Waller
