       Lee ::arvey CS!ALD first came to   ..         attention

upon receipt  of AIRGRAM no. 1301, dated 31 October 1959, from the

United States  Embassy in Mtoscow, in which it was stated that

OSWAL3 had  appeared at the Embassy on 31 October to renounce his

American  citizenship.  Me stated that he had applied in `!oscow

for Soviet  citi:enship after his arrival in the Soviet Union on

15 October.   The first public reference to OSWALD appeared in the
Washington  Post of 1 Novenber 1959.

       On  2 November 1959, the FBI liaison officer requested a_.

trace be  run on Lee Harvey OSWALD in the     !E   central hold-

ings.   L'  response on 4 November was negative.

        Because of the counterintelligence implications of

OSWALD's  action, the Counter Intelligence Staff opened  an offi-

cial  file on Lee Harvey OSWALD to accommodate biographic  infor-

mation  developed by the Agency in response to  a Department of

State  inquiry, dated 25 October 1960, on a  list of American de-

fectors  in Soviet Bloc countries.  OSWALD's  name was one of those

appearing  on the list.  CIA forwarded an  interim reply on 3

November  1960; a final reply on 21 November  1960.  Until early

October  1963, the contents of the OSWALD  file held by~CIA consis-!

ted  entirely of press  clippings and'reports disseminated by the

Department  of State, the Federal Bureau  of Investigation, and the
Department  of the Navy.                   -..

 sian to the Soviet  Embassy guard, Ivan Ivanovich OBYEDKOV, to..
 whom he said he  had visited the Embassy two days earlier, on
