nelay in sending the  first cable about
OSWALD


     1.  Much has  been written about the dely  (l/ the Mexico
Station)  ihs ending the first cable requesting 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  (vhich
in py view  was unjust and unnecessar  and indicates that Dave
didn't know  ihat he was talking about).

     2.  Normally', the Spanish transcript for   e 1 October
conversation-would have  been picked up on th     ning of the
2nd of October.   The Russian language port       Idhave  gone
to the Russ ian/English transcriber on th      October.     The
translation would have  been returned          wing day  (4th)
at  hich  time, the Soviet case offic         have asked for
the potograp   ic coverage.  That co       would not have  been
in che s-tation 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 vhich  would have been          October.

     3.  Later  the fil       aken out of the camera everyr dar
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 bas is
of the name alone  but that wasn't the wy  Win Scott ran that
Station.  He  wanted the 1iotographic coverage tied in with the
telep one coverage...s ometimes.texe.-ws.. .a U.S...automo.bile
licens e number. . It was also part of the numbers game of
justifying a project    .xthe number of dispatches , cables or
reports produced.
