Executive Action Page #3

...and use of insulting language.

Confined 28 days at hard labor.

Only 28 days?

Not only giving him a cover,

they're fixing him a phony.

On August 17, 1959,

he requested a dependency discharge...

...on the ground

that his mother required his support.

- Discharge was granted September 11.

- Well, that was easy.

Easier than you think. Watch this.

To get the discharge,

he needed a doctor's affidavit.

Otolaryngologist Marvin Danvers

gave him one...

...saying he started treating

Oswald's mother on September 5...

...even though his letter is dated

September 3.

Well, I'll be goddamned.

On the same day, September 4...

...Oswald applied for

and received a passport.

Quote, "In order to attend

the Albert Schweitzer College," unquote.

Passport granted.

Good for European travel,

including U.S.S.R.

Arrived in Moscow, October 16.

Ordered to leave U.S.S.R. by 8 p. m.,

October 21.

- The Russkies weren't buying.

- Slashed his wrists same day.

Taken to Botkinskaya Hospital,

released a week later.

Visited U.S. Embassy on October 31.

Stated his determination

to revoke American citizenship...

...and turn classified data

over to the Russians.

Can find no record that embassy

tried to dissuade him...

...from handing over

classified material.

How much did he actually have?

Location of all bases

on the West Coast...

...radio frequencies for all squadrons...

...all tactical call signs,

strength of squadrons...

...number and type

of aircraft in each...

...names of commanding officers...

...and the authentic code

for entering and exiting...

...the ADIZ radio and radar ranges.

Jesus.

On January 4, 1960...

...Oswald receives permission

to remain in the U.S.S.R. for one year.

They're beginning to buy.

On January 5, he is given 5000 rubles

and assigned to work...

...at the Belorussian

Radio and Television Factory in Minsk.

They've bought.

In 1961, he writes a series of letters

to the embassy...

...concerning possible return

to the United States.

When was Powers shot down

in that U-2?

May 1, 1960.

He was there, all right.

But I'm not sure

there was any connection.

They've been spotting our U-2s

for a long time.

- Thanks, Tim, I'll take it from here.

- Right, Mr. Farrington.

On March 17, he met a young lady,

a graduate pharmacist.

Six weeks later, they were married.

As a result of Oswald's letters...

...the State Department

informed embassy...

...that for security reasons,

Oswald should be given a passport.

There was a wrangle with the Russians

about exit visas for his wife...

...but everything on our side

was as smooth as silk.

The embassy issued a passport.

They lent him $435

in traveling expenses.

And he passed through Immigration

June 13th, 1962 en route to Fort Worth.

Did anyone meet them at Immigration?

A representative

of the Concerned Travelers' Society...

...named Ralph P. Waterford.

To help them through customs,

or so he said.

Is that name familiar?

There's a Ralph P. Waterford known

in Taiwan as the secretary-general...

...for the World Campaign

Against Communism, Inc.

- Now, who would have sent him?

- God knows.

You get into that,

there are so many triple-headers...

...you can't count them all. Tim.

All the intelligence agencies

have files on him.

He was interviewed twice last year

by the FBl that we know of.

And there's a report out

that the state attorney general...

...and the Dallas district attorney...

...have got him labeled

as FBl informant Number S-172.

He could be. Defecting, coming back,

running into no trouble at all...

...he could be anything.

CIA, Office of Naval Intelligence,

anything.

Lowest possible echelon, of course.

A few dollars here, a few there,

possibly a little doubling.

Listen:

On January 27th of this year...

...he bought a mail-order

Smith & Wesson. 38...

...under a phony name.

And in March he bought a mail-order

In May, he was distributing Fair Play

for Cuba literature in Dallas.

Can we rely on a character like this?

We're not relying on him.

We're using him.

I've got someone placed

very close to him.

Get a little air.

Go ahead. I wanna check

the stock market, of course.

The real problem is this, James.

In two decades...

...there will be 7 billion

human beings on this planet...

...most of them brown,

yellow or black.

All of them hungry,

all of them determined to love.

They'll swarm out of their breeding

grounds into Europe and North America.

Hence Vietnam.

An all-out effort there...

...will give us control of South Asia

for decades to come.

And with proper planning, we can

reduce the population to 550 million...

...by the end of the century.

I know.

I've seen the data.

We sound rather like gods reading

the Doomsday Book, don't we?

Well, someone has to do it.

Not only will the nations affected

be better off...

...but the techniques

developed there...

...can be used to reduce

our own excess population:

Blacks, Puerto Ricans,

Mexican-Americans...

...poverty-prone whites and so forth.

Raise your right hand, please.

Do you swear that the statements

in the application are true?

I do.

Do you swear your allegiance

to the United States?

I do.

For 24-hour service, it's $2.

George Bernard Shaw

speaking as Irishman...

...summed up an approach to life:

"Other people, " he said,

"see things and say, 'Why?'

But I dream of things that never were

and I say, 'Why not?"'

The problems of the world

cannot possibly be solved...

...by skeptics or cynics...

...whose horizons are limited

by the obvious realities we need-

Yes?

- Twenty-four hours?

- Not only that...

...he stated on his application that

his previous passport had been lifted...

...and that he intended

to travel to Russia.

He can't be just crazy on his own.

He defects, they lift his passport...

...and on 24 hours' notice he gets

another one to travel back to Russia?

Somebody must be behind him.

Oh, yes, indeed.

Worth his weight in gold.

We call this our Cubanization process.

Here our sponsor distributes

Fair Play for Cuba leaflets...

...on Canal Street in New Orleans.

Who's the other man?

Picked him up in an employment office,

$2 an hour.

We've repeated this process four times

in the last 10 days.

The address on the leaflets

is 611 Karp Street.

Howard Grimm's building.

You remember him.

Special agent

in charge of the Chicago FBl office.

We used him in '61 as equipment

purchaser for our Cuban friends.

Grimm has an office

in that building himself.

- Was that wise?

- Well, no matter.

Grimm's organization

is on LaFollete Street.

The Anti-Communist League

of the Caribbean.

I like that.

They cancel each other out.

And no one's been able

to put them together yet.

I don't like it, but it's done.

- When are you him getting into Dallas?

- Not for another month.

Our New Orleans scenario calls

for a street corner fight and an arrest.

Possibly some radio interviews,

TV if we're lucky.
