CIA Traces Marina Oswald's Address Book, 1964

It is an 8 May 1964 memorandum in which CIA Deputy Director for Plans Richard Helms forwarded to J. Lee Rankin, General Counsel of the Warren Commission, a CIA compilation of traces drawn from an address book that Marina Oswald identified as her own.

Soviet contacts in Leningrad and Minsk — including nurses, teachers, and a biophysicist — along with Robert Webster, an American who defected to the USSR in 1959.

Most of the individuals produced no derogatory traces. The compilation (document number 911 / XAAZ-22422) illustrates how the Agency supported the Warren Commission by checking Marina Oswald's Soviet acquaintances.
