   MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

   SUBJECT   Meeting with Mr.


        1. Yesterday afternoon I met with Mr.       in the
   company of Messrs. Shepanek and Holmes The purpose of the
   meeting was to ascertain Mr.K         collection of cer-
   tain events in Mexico City in connection with the visit of
   Lee Harvey Oswald there. I told Mr.       the question
   that had arisen over the memoires Sf in Sc~tt.

        2. While Mr.        has not read the Scott memoires,
   he said that he cou ld offer speculation on how Scott .came
   to write such a thina. Mr. Scott at times was prone to
   exaggeration.         aid that Oswald's visit came at
   the end of the summer. The summer was a period when lots
   of k oks came to Mexico and contacted the Soviet Embassy.
 m       )said that this proved to be very time consuming
   from te Station's point of view as the Station was obliged
   to report to Headquarters and appropriate Embassy components
   on these people when they were identified. He considered
   this function to be one of no profit operationally,
   although it was of course a necessary CI responsibility.

       3.  When Oswald identified imse f in a telephone call
   to the Soviets it was viewed-b       as being a meaning-
   less instance of one more probable usefess contact to
   report; for the Station had no record or file on Oswald.
0         jwife, a part-time employee, ended up writing a
  caIe.   No one thought much of Oswald,and Win Scott signed
  off on the cable without question.

       4.  On the question of photographic coverage he said
  there is a practical explanation of why there were no
  photographs of Oswald. He said the work was very boring.
  He believes that the Mexicans were simply not photographing
