Attention: Mr. John G. Rester Special Assistant to the Secretary

Dear Mr. Secretary:

In connection with its investigation of the death

of President John P. Kennedy, the Select Committee on

Assassinations requests access to any and'all records,

including classified material, concerning or referring to

investigations into Lee Harvey Oswald's background by the

112 Military Intelligence Group, headquartered in San

Antonio, Texas, and commanded by Lt. Col. Robert E. Jones,

U.S.A. (social security number: 413-12-6382; date of birth:

November 6, 1920). These investigations, conducted circa

1963, dealt with, among other things, Oswald's military

background, defection to the Soviet Union, marriage, return

to the United States, and addresses, and included a person-

ality profile and an "after action" (summary) report.

In addition, the Committee requests that the Department

of Defense provide the following information:

1. A detailed written statement explaining why a photo-

graph of Lee Harvey Oswald that is in the possession

of either the Office of Naval Intelligence or the

Office of Naval Investigations is contained in an

envelope marked "REC'd 14 Nov 63" and "CIA 77978."

It is the Committee's belief-that the photograph

was taken by the United States Marine Corps upon

Oswald's induction into the service in 1956. The

envelope is in fact marked "Date of photo 28 Dec

56."

Your statement should address the following

questions: Did the Central Intelligence Agency re-

quest this photograph? If so, when and under what

circumstances? Was the photograph ever sent to the

CIA? If so, when and under what circumstances? If

the photograph was requested but was not sent, please

explain the circumstances.

The Honorable Harold Brown Page 2.

2. A written list of those persons at the Office of

Naval Intelligence and at the Office of Naval In-

vestigations who were either connected with, respon-

• sible for, or knowledgeable about files pertaining

to Oswald.

3. A detailed written statement explainingwhy Oswald's

September 4, 1959 passport application (labeled

Commission Exhibit No. 1114 by the Warren Commission)

makes reference to Oswald's inactive military iden-

tification card ("MCR/Inactive I.D. Card #N4,271,617

SUBMITTED") which, according to military records

(Commission's Folsom Ex. 1, pp. 10, 66), was not

issued to Oswald until September 11, 1959.
