       Lee lHarvey CS !ALD first came to  ..         at tention

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

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

OSWALD had  appeared at the Enbassy on 31 October to renounce his

American citizenship.  4e  stated that he had applied in Moscow

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.    W' 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 thet
Department  of the Navy.                   .

        On * October 1963, the CIA Station in Mexico City re-e ived
                                                       an Ameri-

 can named Lee OSWALD had contacted the Soviet Embassy in Mexico

 City on Tuesday,  1 October 1963. He had spoken  in halting Rusi

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

 Saturday, 23 September.  He  asked whether there hda been a reply

 to a telegram that  the Consull with whom he had spoken, but whose
 name he could not  recall, had promised to send to Washington.
