nelay in s ending the first cable  about
OSWALD


     1.   Much has been written  about the delay  (b1, the Mexico
Station)  in s ending the firs t 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  (4 ich
in my view  was unjus t and unnecessary and indicates  that Dave
didn't know  ihat he was- talking about).

     2.   Normally , the Spanish trans cript for  e  1 October
convers 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  Russian/English transcriber. on th         October.   The
trans lation would have  been returned          wing  day (4.th)
at  iich  time, the Soviet  case offic         have  as ked for
the photographic  coverage.   Th at co      would not have  been
in  h e station before the  7th s i     e film was still  in th e
camera  on the 3rd -of October a      was picked up pro ba by on
the 4th , processed and passe       Station on the next work
day  h ich would h ave been       October.

     3.   Later the fil        aken out of the camera  every day
but at  that time, th         tay ed in the camera until a full
roll  was completed       migh t take three or four  days .


     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
teleph one coverage .:.s ometimes...the.r.e.was....a U.S....automo.bil.e
licers e number. . It was als o part of the numbers game of
justify ing a project by .the number of dis patches , cables or
reports produced.
