nelay in sending the first cable about
OSWALD


     1.  Much has been written about the delyr (b.the Mexico
Station) ih s ending the first cable requesting traces on the
name Lee OSWALD.  It was discussed in Dave Phillips book as a
case of laziness on the part of the Soviet case officer (i ich
in py view was unjust and unnecessaiy and indicates that Dave
didn't know  hat he was talking about).

     2.  Normally', the Spanish transcript for e 1 October
conversation -would have been picked up on th   ning of the
2nd of October.  The Russian language port*     Idhave  gone
to the Russian/English transcriber. on th       October,  The
translationwould have  been returned
at  4hich time, the Soviet case offic       have asked for
the  hotographic coverage. That co       would not have been
in -che station before the 7th s i   e film was still in the
camera on the 3rdtof October a     was picked up probabr  on
the 4th, processed and passe        Station on the next work
day  hich would have .been        October.

     3.  Later the fil      aken out of the camera eveiy dy,
but at that time, th       tawed in the camera until a full
roll was completed      might take three or four drs.


     4.  A name trace could have been requested on the basis
of the name alone but that wasn't the w  Win Scott ran that
Station.  He wanted the photographic coverage tied in with the
telephone coverage ..sometimes-there.ewas.. a U.S. .-automo.biie
license number. . It was also part of the numbers game of
justifying a project br the number of dispatches, cables or
reports produced.
