      FORMER DEPUTY CHIEF OF THE SOVIET BLOC DIVISION,

                CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

     Before the HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE ON ASSASSINATIONS

                      November.16, 1978

Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

        I have come before your Committee  to reply to

the testimony of Mr. John L. Hart, who  represented the

Central Intelligence Agency here on September  15, a testi-

mony which misled you and misused me.

        As the former deputy chief of  the Soviet Bloc

Division of CIA and directly responsible  for the case

of the KGB defector Yuri Nosenko  from 1962 to 1967, I can

reply more accurately to your questions  and can bring

you a better understanding of  this matter.

        For one thing, I w-l-not-  have to rely as did

Mr. Hart on archeological digs  into those forty file

drawers of information.  2Mr. Hart's six-month expedition

obviously failed to understand what  they dug up, and their

leader was highly selective  in what he chose to exhibit

here.  For another, I will  not disqualify myself, as he

did, from talking about Lee  Harvey Oswald, one of the

most important aspects of  the Nosenko case, nor about

the case of the earlier defector  here called  X, which

is a critical  factor in understanding Nosenko.

         CIA's selection of Mr. Hart to study the Nosenko

case, and  later to present it to you, came to me as a great

surprise and mystery.   He seemed to bring few qualifications
