                Mr. G. Robert Blakey
                Chief Counsel & Director
                Select Committee.-on Assassinations
                House of Representatives
                Washington, D.C.  20515

                Dear Mr. Blakey:

                     Following our conversation  on 17 December, about
                CIA's reporting to the Warren  Commission on Oswald's
                movements at a certain  location outside the United States,
                it occurred to me that  it might assist your researchers
                if I were to specify  the reporting in question. (U)

                     I have already described  our role in obtaining the 0g
                information from                     of the Cuban Consulate,)
                and assume this needs no further specification   Additionally,
                it should be pointed  out that on 31 January 1964 the Agency
                submitted a fourteen page  report to J. Lee Rankin of the
                Warren Commission recording  the basic information available
                from Agency sources.  Your  investigators should be able to
                identify this as being  processed for FOIA as document
                number 509-803, although  it was not released under FOIA
                because sensitive  sources and methods were involved; it
                continues to be  classified Secret to this date.  That
                document has been  reviewed at the Agency by your investi-
                gators.  (S)

                     That the  information was provided the-Warren Commission
                early in its  inquiry, in the two forms noted above,  is
                clear.  Why one  of the investigators for the Commission
                did not take  it into consideration until some 3-4 months
                later cannot be  reconstructed at this late date.  (U)

                                                Very truly yours,
