            MEMORANDUM NO. 3

            SUBJECT         : GARRISON  and the Kennedy
                              Assassination

            REFERENCE       : CI/R&A  Memorandum  of 8 May 1967,
                              Subject as Above


                 1.    Recently District Attorney James C. GARRISON has made
            a number of spectacular charges against CIA. These charges became
            more vehement after newspaper and.magazine articles attacking the
            GARRISON  probe had been printed by The Saturday Evening Post,
            Newsweek  and (on 21 May 1967) the New York Times.

                 2.    The following are the major accusations made by GARRISON
            since 8 May 1967, the date of referencq:

                       a.   CIA and the FBI cooperated in concealing facts
                 behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy from both
                 the Warren Commission  and the American public.  CIA knew
                 all along that the Warren Commission's report-was completely
                 untrue in its conclusion that Kennedy was shot by Lee Harvey
                 Oswald  acting alone. The GARRISON investigation has t-arned
                 up.mounting evidence of CIA involvement in.Kennedy's death.
                 GARRISON   asserted that CIA duped the Commission by flooding
                 'its members with a. gush of irrelevant information to obscure the
                 truth.  (The Washington Star, 8 May. 1967.)

                       b.   GARRISON   intended to ask the U.S. Senate to investi-
                  gate the alleged Central Intelligence Agency 'coverup'.
                  GARRISON  is a personal friend of Senator Russell Long of Louisiana
                  (Washington Post and Times Herald, 9 May 1967.)

                       c.   GARRISON   has told the New Orleans States-Item
                  that Oswald was probably a CIA agent who worked undercover
                  with anti-Castro Cubans while publicly demonstrating for Castro.
                  The . . . CIA and the FBI were aware of Oswald's connections
