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 the firs t cable requesting traces on thi 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  (vhich
    in my view  was unjust and unnecessary  and indicates that  Dave
    didn't  know miat he was- talking about).

          2.  Normally:, the Spanish trans cript for  e 1 October
    conveys ation iwuld h ave been picked up on th  ning of th e
    2nd of  October.  'Ihe Russian language port'      ld have  gone
    to the  Russ ian/English trans criber on th     October. 'Ihe
    trans lation .would have been returned       wing day (4th)
    at   iich time, the Soviet case  offic         have  s ked for
    the  h otograph ic coverage. 'Ih at co      would not h ave been
    in di e station before the 7th s i   e film was still in th e
    camera  on the 3rd of October  a      was picked up pro ba bly on
'   the 4th , processed and passe       Station on the next work
    day  'h ich would h ave been         Octo ber.

         3.   Later the fi        aken  out of the camera every  day
    but at  that time, th        tay ed in the camera until a  full
    roil  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 ph otograph ic coverage tied in with th e
    teleph one coverage .:.s ometimes... t he.e..was...a U.S....automo.biie
