              MEMORANDUM FOR:  Deputy Director of Central Intelligence   4

              FROM:            John H. Waller                          H    S   C     A
                               Inspector General
                                                                        77-DOo
              SUBJECT:         Oswald Documents -- Action Taken


                   1.  Attached herewith is an edited version of the memorandum
              on Kessler's article in the Washinotog_ Post forwarded to you on
              27 November 1976.

                   2.  In an effort to obtain all the information that is avail-
              able on this ma.tter, the Office of Security, at the behest of the
              Inspector General, has, initiated a formal security investigation
              into the reported leaks.  This is to be confined to an analysis of
              Agency files and records and to present and former Agency employees,
              including the translator formerly assigned to the Mexico City Sta-
              tion,  the typist at the Station at that time and Mr. David Phillips.
              They  state that it is-virtually impossible to estimate the length of
              time  it will take to conduct these investigations.

                    3.  The Office of the General Counsel has been engaged since
               April 1976 in. perusing the Oswald 201 files, page by page, for
               FOIA purposes.  It is estimated that 75 percent of that material
               containing Agency information will be sanitized, if needed, and
               declassified by mid-December 1976.  The information relating to
               telephone taps in Mexico City, however,-has been deleted.  The
               Oswald 201 files consist of 11 1/2 safe drawers of material.
               Other files with possible relevance to the assassination of Presi-
               dent Kennedy include the following: 12 safe drawers of Cuban Opera-
               tions material that is being reviewed in connection with the
               Schweiker report; 2 1/2 safe drawers of material in the Office of
               Security; varying amounts of related material in the Mexico City
               Station files; soft files; Rocca files; CI/SIC files; OGC files
               and DCI files.
