nelay  in s ending the firs t cable about
OSWALD


          1.  Much has  been  written about the delay  (bW. the Mexico
     Station)  in s ending the first cable reques ting traces on  th e
     name Lee  OSWALD.  It was  dis cuss ed in Dave Phillips book as a
     case of  laziness on the part  of the Soviet case  officer  (jh ich
     in my view  was unjust and  unnecessay  and  indicates that Dave
     didn't know  ih at he was- talking about).

          2.   Normally', the Spanish trans cript for   e 1 October
     convems ation would h ave been picked up on  th  ning of th e
     2nd of October.   The Russian  language port'       ld have  gone
     to the Russ ian/English  trans criber, on th     October. The
     trans lation' would have been returned       wing day (4th )
     at  iich  time, the Soviet  case offic         have  as ked for
     the photographic  coverage.   That co        would not have  been
     in ch e s tation before the 7th s i  e film was still in th e
     camera on  the 3rd .of October a      was picked  up probaby   on
     the 4th,  processed and passe          -Station on the next  work
     day ih ich would h ave been       October.

          3.   Later the fil        aken out of  the camera evey   day
     but at  that time, th         tay ed in the camera until a  full
     roil was  completed       might  take three  or four da's .


',        4.  A  name trace could h ave been reques ted on the  bas is
     of the name  alone but that  was n't the way Win Scott ran that
     Station.   He wanted the photograph ic coverage  tied in with  th e
     telephone  coverage ..s ometimes ...the.re.-.was...a U.S. ..automo.bile
     license number.  . It was also part of the numbers  game of
     jus tify ing a project br the number of dis patch es , cables or
     reports produced.
