INTRODUCTION: In August 1976, Chief, CI Staff appointed the undersigned as the Staff representative on a Task Force established in response to DDCI's orders to the Deputy Inspector General. The Task Force's purpose was to review Book V of the Church Committee's Final Report: The Investigation-of the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy: Performancp of the Intelligence Agencies, and to formulate comment! ,, based upon an in-depth stddy of information available in Agency files, on statements made and questions raised in Book V. Since CI Staff, at that time. held Lee Harvey Oswald's 201 file, the CI Staff chief charged the undersigned with reviewing the file and preparing papers on a series of topics drawn up by the Task Force leader. 2. It quickly became evident to the undersigned that the so-called 201 file on Lee Harvey Oswald was much more than what a 201 file should be. In addition to biographic information on Oswald, the file included radio traffic between Headquarters and the field on matters pertaining to Oswald, information on known and possible contacts abroad and in the United States, correspondence between the Agency and the Warren Committee, the Garrison Investigation, etc., as well as internal Warren Commission documents containing Agency information. The file also includes some 500 third-agency documents (primarily from the FBI and the Department of State). 3. In order to get a handle on the welter of disparate material in the Oswald file,--the-undersigned set up more than a few individual files to hold photocopies of documents dealing with such topics as Gilberto ALVARADO-Ugarte, Silvia DURAN, Waldemar Boris KARA-PATNITSKY, Valeriy Vladimirovich KOSTIKOV, etc. (See attached inventory - Tab A.) The undersigned considers these ancillary files, which include 9 folders from the former Special Investigation Group of CI Staff, as an appendix to Oswald's 201 file. Its integrity should be maintained. [See paragraph 8.1 4. FIRST AND SECOND REVIEWS (October 1975 - c. February 1977): For the first time, in October 1975, CI Staff reviewed Oswald's 201 file to ascertain which documents could be released to Bernard Fensterwald who had requested all Agency documents on Lee Harvey - 1 -
