                        (Oswald  Pre-Assassination Files)

            Dear John:

            Under the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992,44
            U.S.C. § 2107 (Supp. V 1994), the Review Board has the authority to direct-a -
            Government  office to ... investigate the facts surrounding, additional information [and]
            records... . Section 7(J)(1)(C)(ii). Pursuant to this authority, the Review Board is
            seeking to resolve in a complete and comprehensive manner certain questions related to
            files on Lee Harvey Oswald that CIA may have held prior to the assassination of
            President Kennedy. Accordingly, we request that CIA provide complete and
            comprehensive answers to the questions identified below.

            On May  12,1992, Director Robert M. Gates testified to the Senate Committee on
            Governmental  Affairs regarding CIA's records on Oswald prior to the assassination.
            Mr. Gates testified that [p]rior to President Kennedy's assassination, CIA held only a
            smallfile on Lee Harvey Oswald that consisted of 34 documents amounting to 124
            pages .....  (The Assassination Materials Disclosure Act of 1972: Hearing Before the
            Committee on Governmental Affairs, 100th Cong., 2d Sess. 52 (1992) (emphasis added)
            (copy enclosed). It is the Review Board's current understanding, however, that at the
            time of the assassination, CIA held at least three separate files (including soft files) on
            Lee Harvey Oswald:  a 201 file (201-289248), an HTLINGUAL file, and an Office of
