                                        20 March 1964'

MEMO FOR THE RECORD:-

     1.  After checking Graphics Rekistry files for pictures of Minsk
pertinent. to the Oswald affair,            arranged to have-several
photographs reproduced and sent up to BRIUR. 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 Duk-e Street printing plant on 13 March, and 00/C was called
for details on  the picture, its source, etc. The pcture  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 plaid short-sleeved
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 approval  for an FBI contact with the source of the-picture.
.On 17 March, the picture was shown to C/SR/Cl, C/SR, DC/SR and
            It was agreed that I should draft a CSCI transmitting
 the picture and information to the FBI and a letter transmitting
 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 Rdcca, 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/Cl'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's note, C/SR had been called on this and agreed.
              C-s      '3710gr
      5.  CSCI sent forward 20 March 64.       /
