        La                                              -
                    MEMO FOR THE RECORD:

                         1.  After checking Graphics Registry files for pictures of Minsk
                  pertinent. to the Oswald affair, Bill Brasko arranged to have several
                    photographs reproduced and sent up to SR/CI/R.  The photos were
                    ordered from Graphics and they reached us on 12 March.  Upon examination
                    it was discovered that one of the photographs showing  a group of persons
                    in front of the Palace of Culture in Minsk in the summer of 1961
                    included an individual bearing a strong resemblance to Lee Harvey
                    Oswald.

                         2.  Enlargements of the picture were made by Graphics Register
                    and the Duike Street printing plant on 13 March, and 00/C was called
                    for details on the picture, its source, etc.  The picture was
                    compared with photos of Oswald provided to us by the FBI  (D-33 #16,30)
                    and known to have been taken in the Oswald apartment in Minsk  during
                    1952.  This comparison showed that person appearing to be Oswald  in
                    the picture from Graphics Register was wearing a p1aid shCrt-s1eeved
                    sport shirt with a pattern  identical to that on  the shirt Oswald
                    was wearing in the pictures furnished by the FBI.

                             Further checks were made with 00 on 16 March and  that
                    office's approvaljifor an FBI contact with the source of the picture.
                    .On 17 March, the picture was shown to C/SR/CI, C/SR, DC/SR and Ed
                    Golloway.  It was agreed that I should draft a CSCI  transmitting
                    the picture and information to the FBI and a letter  transmitting
      ,G            the same to the Warren Commission.  I prepared both on  18 March
                    and received an OK on both  from C/SR/CI. I hand carried both  to
                    Ray Rocca, C/CI/R&A who approved the CSCI but made  certain minor
                    changes in the text of  the letter to the Commission.

                         4.  On 19 March,  Ray Rocca relayed to me C/CI's view that
                    transmittal of  the picture to the Commission should be delayed
                    pending receipt of  the results of an FBI check made in response
                    to our CSCI.  Note:   CSCI asks FBI to contact source of picture
                    and obtain details  re taking of picture, persons in it etc.,
                    According to Rocca'.. note, C/SR had been called on this and agreed.

                         5.  CSCI  sent forward 20 March 64.


                                                            Lee H. Wigren
                                                            C/SR/CI/R


                    Attached:
                         Various memoranda  and notes pertinent to this matter.
