WASHINGTON POST Request to Talk to an Agency
Specialist on the Kennedy Assassination


     The WASHINGTON  POST is preparing a series of articles on!
the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Kennedy
assassination.

     With the help of CIC, we  recently arranged for George
Lardner and Walter Pincus of the WASHINGTON POST to interview
former KGB officer Yuri Nosenko about his knowledge of Lee
Harvey Oswald during the time Oswald lived in the Soviet
Union.  To ensure that Nosenko's resettlement identity and
location would remain protected, I made the arrangements for
Nosenko to come to Washington for the interview.

     The POST reimbursed Nosenko  for expenses and paid him a
$250 consulting fee.  The interview was done on Wednesday,
3 March, at the POST offices downtown.  I did not remain for
it.  Lardner and Pincus also hosted a lunch for Nosenko which
was attended by Ben Bradlee.  Lardner and Pincus were very
pleased with their session with Nosenko and appreciative of
our making it possible.  I also spoke afterwards with Nosenko
who said he was satisfied with how the interview wa$
conducted and with the financial arrangements.

     Shortly after the interview, Lardner faxed me a list of
the questions that he and Pincus had prepared for themselves
to use in checking out Nosenko's information.  They asked if
there was anyone at the Agency they could talk to about the
individuals named.  I told them that developing information
in response to-tbeir questions would probably take a good
deal of research aid that I doubted the Agency would be able
to take on such a task at this time for the POST.  However, I
said I would take it up with the appropriate offices.

     Although I told the POST that I do not believe anyone
would be willing to undertake research on their questions,
I'm wondering if there is anyone around who might be
knowledgeable of Nosenko's information who would be willing
to talk with Lardner and Pincus on background based on
his/her existing knowledge.  I think Lardner and Pincus would
be grateful for making such a person available even if
