KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 8 February 1979 MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence VIA : Deputy Director of Central Intelligence Legislative Counsel FROM : S. D. Breckinridge Principal Coordinator, HSCA- SUBJECT House Select Committee on Assassinations References to Overseas CIA Stations (U) 1. Action Requested: That you approve one of the options set forth in paragraph .(U) 2. Background: CIA's participation in the investigation of President Kennedy's assassination was limited by the pattern of Lee Harvey Oswald's life. He served in the Marine Corps in Japan, although he did not come to the attention of the CIA at that time. He travelled to the Soviet Union in 1959, returning to the United States in 1962. He did not come to CIA's attention until his defection was reported by the U. S. Embassy in Moscow. He.travelled to.Mexico City in late September 1963, returning to the United States in early October after a five-day stay. CIA detected his presence and reported it at that time as a routine CI report because he contacted the Soviet Embassy. (C) 3. False allegations by a disaffected CIA employee claiming CIA-Oswald ties in Japan consumed some of the Committee's time and attention. They discredited his testimony, but in the process of discussing .it, they talk about the things he said, including his duties in Tokyo. We have never z- confirmed the existence of a Station in Tokyo) We would endeavor to have the Committee sanitize and downplay this section of its report simply because of the discredited nature of the witness's testimony. If this is unsuccessful, unclassified publication may become an issue. (C) 4. Oswald's entry to the Soviet Union, with a visa given by the Soviet Consul In Helsinki, leads to HSCA discussion in its report of a,. (existence of the CIA Station in Helsinki) and the file held on the Consul, who was KGB. We believe this can be remedied by sanitization; if not, it could become an issue if HSCA insists on publication. (S) rCfiCiNAL Cl3 - 13190_ OD CL : o? February 1985 n~jf,**-**.'-,
