     1.  Much has  been written about the dely  (1/. the Mexico
Station) ih s ending the firs t cable reques ting traces . on the
name -Lee OSWALD.. It was discussed in Dave Phillips book as a
case of laziness  on the part of the Soviet case officer  ( hich
in py view  was unjust and unnecessaiy and indicates that Dave
didn't know  vhat he was- talking about).

     2.  Normally', the Spanish transcript for   e 1 October
convers ation would have been picked up on th     ning of the
2nd of October.   The Russian language port       ld have gone
to the Russ ian/English transcriber. on th        October.  The
trans lation ,would have been returned         wing  ay  (401)
at  xich time,  the Soviet case offic         have asked for
the  xhotographic coverage.  That co       would not have  been
in che station  before the 7th si      e film was still in the
camera on the  3rd -of October a     was picked up probably on
the 4th, processed  and passe         Station on the next work
day  mich  would have-been          October.

     3.  Later  the fil       aken out of the camera evezy day
but at that  time, th        tayed in the camera until a full
roll was completed        might take three or four dars.


  o  4.  A name  trace could have been requested on the basis
of the name  alone but that wasn't the way Win Scott ran that
Station.  He  wanted the photographic coverage tied in with the
telephone coverage ..sometimes...ltere. was....a U.S....automo.biie
license number, . It was also part of the numbers game of
justifring a project  ly.the number of dispatches, cables or
reports produced.
