              MEMORANDUM FOR:  Deputy Director of Central Intel igence

              FROM:            John II. Waller
                               Inspector General                        -
                                                                       77-   'cozo( /3
              SUBJECT:         Oswald Documents -- Action Taken



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

                   2.  In an effort to obtain all the information that is avail-
              able on this matter, 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.

                   31. 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 he 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 ieport; 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/SIG files; OGC files
              and DCI files.



                                                                E2 IMWIPT

                                                                CL BY 05536
