104-10331-10035 JFK Assassination Records Archives 1 (03/18/1994)

handle is hein.jfk/jfkarch79076 and id is 1 raw text is: '104-10331-10035 , 2022 RELEASE UNDER THE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 18 March 1994 Memo to: C/HRG Subject: Walter E. Szuminski 1. Szuminski, David Christ and Thornton Anderson were arrested and imprisoned in Cuba (1960)under the names of Edmund Taransky, Danial Carswell and Eustace Danbrunt; their true names were not blown at that time. In 1963 Christ's pseudo (Carswell) was linked to the three tramps picked up Dallas after the assassination. During investigation, Christ was interviewed by HSCA staffers. 2. The initial approach (August 1993 release) was to protect Szuminski and Anderson plus not link Christ and Carswell. The result was a large number of DIFs.in Christ's Security File. In the DIF-Review, Carswell was acknowledged as Christ's pseudo, and Anderson and Szuminski's true names could be released as long as not linked with pseudos (see Name List). 4. Before names are listed as release on the Name List, they are checked against a variety of sources: CCS, Security, retiree card file (HRG), CIRA list, personal knowledge of HRG reviewers and coordinated with DO reviewers. There was apparently a lot of discussion over the release of true names. HRG's position was that given HSCA interest in both Carswell in Dallas and the possible tie time in Cuba and assassination, Christ can be considered a JFK figure. Since he had been an was overt employee since 1963, retired overt and is now dead, most of the documents on him are releasable. Anderson and Szuminski also retired overt and are open members of CIRA. 5. There is no file on Szuminski in the JFK collection. I located 9 items which mention Szuminski by true name or pseudonym in the four volumes of David Christ's file (Box 40, volumes 25): 1 hand written (true name) 1 cable reporting arrest (pseudonym) 3 memos discussing arrest (pseudonym) 2 memos with reference to imprisonment (true name) 2 copies of a memo with both true name and pseudonym (true name is deleted on 1 copy & left in on the other) Copies of the items are attached. 6. There are numerous memos on Agency contact with Mrs. Christ during the imprisonment. I have attached one for your information.
