signed on 8 March of Office of Security reservations in
making files on the above 18 staff employees available for
HSCA review, particularly without knowing what this was all
about. Mr. Carpentier subsequently advised that the Committee
was interested in reviewing only Wilcott's file.

-employee, informed the undersigned that M.ilcott has
alleged that at the time he was assigned t   okyo) Station,
he w s aware of the fact that Lee Harvey Oswald had been a
13 Tokyo Station agent. When queried how Wilcott would have
known about this, since Oswald was alreadys n the Soviet
Union at the time of Wilcott's assignment t (Tokyo), Mr. Leap
indicated that Wilcott received his information secondhand.

review files on the foregoing 18 individuals but does plan
on interviewing all of them. These 18 individuals were-
identified to the HSCA by Wilcott as people he remembered
being assigned to (Tokyo) when he was there.
