            SUJErT:  nelay  in s ending the firs t cable about
                      OSWALD

                 1.  Much has  been written  about the delay  (b the Mexico
            Station)  in s ending th e firs t cable reques ting traces on th e
            name Lee OSWALD..  It was dis cuss ed in Dave Phillips book as a
            case of laziness  on the part  of the Soviet case  officer (sh ich
            in my view  was unjus t and unnecessary and indicates  that Dave
            didn't know  chat he was' talking about).

                 2.  Normally , the Spanish  transcript for    e 1 October
            conveys ation would have  been picked up on th   ning of the
            2nd of October.   'Ihe Russian language port'       ld have gone
            to the Russian/English  transcriber. on th       October. 'Ihe
            translation  would have  been returned           wing day (4th)
            at  iich  time, the Soviet  case offic         have  as ked for
            the photographic  coverage.   'Ih at co     would  not have  been
            in dih e station before the 7th s i     e film  was still in th e
            camera on  the 3rd of October  a      was picked  up probably  on
       ,`   the 4th,  processed and passe          Station  on the next work
            day vh ich would h ave. been         October.

                 3.   Later the fil        aken out of the  camera every day
            but at  that time, th         tayed in the camera  until a full
            roll was  completed       might  take three or  four days.


                 4.   A name trace could h ave been reques ted on the bas is          -
            of the name  alone but .that was n't the way Win Scott ran that
            Station.   He wanted the photograph ic coverage  tied in with  the
            teleih one coverage . .s ometimes...th.e...was...a U.S....automo.bile
            licens e number. . It was also part of the numbers  game of
            jus tify ing a project by the number of dis patches , cables or
            reports produced.                b   o
