               Subject: CIA Files on Lee Harvey Oswald

               This is to acknowledge my telecon yesterday with Dave Gries-and with John
               Pereira re issue of whether Oswald was ever debriefed by the Agency, and to
               respond to John's request for documents which may having bearing on this
               issue.:

               First, a point of order. It is my belief and the belief of the Agency personnel
               with whom I have discussed this matter, that your files should not contain the
               infamous debrief. It stains credibility that the Agency would purposely
               persist in saying there was no debrief when in fact it had a copy of it
               somewhere  in its extensive - if sometimes sloppy - records system. It
               would have been found by 1993. The Issue is not whether you have it now;
               rather it & whether it occurred in the past and was destroyed.

               We  can al tak, theorize and argue over what it mightnean later. For now
               the task atliand is simply to take all necessary steps to find out.. I urge
               ex tee  cau tion in stating flatly that there was rio debrief until such steps
               have been thoroughly exhausted. I was surprised to find out afterthe
               PRONTLINE documentary   aired, for example, that tho'c will be somenew
               pieces on  is subject i the not too distant futu

               dated 25 November 1963 b     .B.C!, whom I believe might be one, Mr.
