              1.  On 7 March  1978 the Office of Legislative Counsel
          (OLC), on behalf of the House Select Committee on Assassi-
          nations (HSCA), requested a records check on James B.
          Wilcott, born 27 September 1931. A search of Security
          Records Division disclosed OS#109 301 in the name of James
          Bernard Wilcott, Jr., born 27 September 1931, a staff
          employee (Finance Officer) from 1957 until his resignation
          in 1966. Wilcott served in       Station from May 1960 to
          July 1964-.- -__ ___

              2.  On 8 March  I advised you of current HSCA interest
         in reviewin  files on some 18 staff employees formerly
         assigned to       Station.

              3.  Mr. Pat Carpentier, OLC, was advised by the under-
         signed on 8 March of Office of Security reservations in
         making files on the above 18 staff employees available for
         HSCA review, particularly without knowing what this was all
         about.  Mr. Carpentier subsequently advised that the Committee
         was interested in reviewing only Wilcott's file.

              4.  On 9 March 1978 Mr. Harold Leap; an HSCA staff
         employee, informed the undersigned that M.  Wilcott has
         ialleged that at the time he was assigned t       Station,
         'he was aware of the fact that Lee Harvey Oswald had been a
     DStation agent. When queried how Wilcott would have
         known about this, since Oswald was already(i)n the Sviet
         Union at the time of Wilcott's assignment to        Mr. Leap
         indicated that Wilcott received his informatin  secondhand.

              5.  Mr. Leap related that the HSCA does not desire to
         review files on the foregoing 18 individuals but does plan
         on interviewing all of them.  These 18 individuals were-
         identified to the HSCA by Wilcott as people he remembered
         being assigned to       when he was there.
