                                                            9 July 1964



                   MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

                   SUBJECT     : Discussion with Warren Commission Staff Member

                   REFERENCE: Letter   from J. Lee Rankin, General Counsel of the
                                 President's Commission, to Mr. Richard Helms
                                 dated 3 July 1964



                       I-.-Wititff.&approval of C/SR and the DOP, I met with Mr. W.
                   David Slawson of the staff of the President's Conmission on the
                   Assassination of President Kennedy at 1400 harxs :n this date in
                   the Commission's offices at 200 Maryland Avenue, N. E., Washington,
                   D.C.  The purpose of this meeting was to discuss apparent inconsistencies
                   in material provided the Commission by CIA anad by the Department of
                   State which were called to our attention in a letter from the General
                   Counsel of the Cnmmission to Mr. Helms, dat..ed 3 July 1964.

                       2. By way of introduction, Mr. Slawson said that in the portion of the
                   Commission's report that he was writing, he would have to deal with the
                   question of whether or not the OSWALDs' departure from the USSR - and
                   the circumstances (i.e. timing) of that depart-are - were unusual or
                   suspicious in any -ay. He expressed his belief t-hat they probably were
                   not and cited Souiet relaxation in such matters ;n the post-Stalin era.
                   However, he wanted to be sure in his own mir that our information was
                   not in conflict with that which the Commission had received from State
                   since all of that information would remain in the'records of the
                   Commission.

                      3. After stating my belief that.there was no real disagreement or
                  inconsistency between the information from CLA and that from State, I
                  expressed the view that the matter resolved itself into three questio=s:

          Document Number I      (  G
