Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, sir. I am sorry. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Mr. Wilcott, how long were these advance books retained? Mrs. Bergin paid a great deal of money for that dress. Mr. SAWYER - When you refer to Oswald as an agent, you are referring to the extent you have -- as an agent as opposed to a paid informer, in effect? Mr. DODD - And you and your wife both went to work for the CIA about the same time? Please try your request again later. Mr. CORNWELL - Did they request that you leave? He was sickly looking, and, like his father, had lost weight. Two men, who identified themselves (with I.D.) Bring your club to Amazon Book Clubs, start a new book club and invite your friends to join, or find a club thats right for you for free.

Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, I did. Mr. CORNWELL - When was that? Please try again. Mr. WILCOTT - None initially. I went immediately into the clear space on the ground floor and asked where there was a phone. Mr. CORNWELL - Let me rephrase it. Mr. WILCOTT - My wife and I both left the CIA because we became convinced that what CIA was doing couldn't be reconciled to basic principles of democracy or basic principles of humanism. Mr. WILCOTT - Surely, sir. The day after, perhaps, two or three weeks after, the kind of talk was that CIA was somehow connected. Wilcott worked in the accounting department and was in charge of disbursement of cash funds. James B. Wilcott was a CIA accountant who disbursed CIA station funds in Tokyo, Japan.

Its perhaps a moot point anyway, because based on what youve told me, you now know more than I do. Copies of my written testimony have disappeared from my personal files. Mr. WILCOTT - Well, the payments that were made especially to substations like Oswald's was operated -- it was a substation of the XXXXXXXX station, and they had one in XXXXXX and they had one in XXXXXXXXX-- and it may be six months or even a year after the intial allocation that the final accounting for those funds were submitted, and they would operate out of revolving funds or out of their own personal funds in many cases.

Mr. WILCOTT - I was able to but I never did. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, you did. I made my call and left. [12], A suggestion of smuggling activities within the TSBD comes in the form of boxes too large to be practical containers of books. Mr. CORNWELL - What did they say along those lines? Mr. WILCOTT - Well, I believed it to be a little more than speculation, that the source at least of this kind of talk was, I believe, to be something more serious than speculation. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Did you prepare such a list? Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, it is. There was XXXXXXXXXXXX Branch, who had XXXXXXXXXXX cover. Mr. GOLDSMITH - And who made these references to Oswald being an agent of the CIA? Mr. WILCOTT - That is correct, sir. Dedicated to the political vision and legacy of John and Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X,and to the investigation of their murders. Mr. PREYER - It was your conclusion from that talk that some of these people might have knowledge that he was a CIA agent rather than that they were speculating about it? Mr. GOLDSMITH - Is that list complete and does it have. Mr. GOLDSMITH - So, when the officer told you -- strike that. [12] Wilcotts 3/22/78 HSCA deposition, pp. Mr. WILCOTT - I believe our full strength was around XXXXXXX and we never actually had that many, I don't think. I have entered other webs, but this one is different because the spider leaves the web and stalks its preysometimes for many years. However, the woman became terrified at the mention of it & said she would deny she ever said it if I tried to publicize the incident. Mr. PREYER - Thank you. Mr. WILCOTT - It was right at my window, my disbursing cage window. We had accountings, or we had audits about every two years, and then then files that I kept the requests for advances, the details of the accountings that were done usually on a monthly basis by the XXXXX Station Branches, would be destroyed and then they would be -- and, in fact, I helped destroy them.

KENNEDY Mr. WILCOTT - I can't remember, sir. Mr. WILCOTT - No; I think that I looked through my advance book -- and I had a book where the advances on projects were run, and I leafed through them, and I must have at least leafed through them to see if what he said was true. I am a reporter there. Mr. WILCOTT - Did you vote for President Kennedy? Mr. GOLDSMITH - So, does that mean you were able to check back only thirty days from the time that you were given this information? Mr. GOLDSMITH - So, it is your testimony that, once you left the XXXXXXXX station, people, both at headquarters, in Langley, and at the Miami Station, made references to Oswald being an agent, is that correct? Enclosed is a copy of the response from G. Robert Blakey, Chief Counsel and Director of the Select Committee on Assassinations. Did you write it down or do anything? First of all I apologize for having to run in and out during your testimony and some of this you may have already covered; and, if you have, then I will not proceed with it. Mr. WILCOTT - That is right. Mr. WILCOTT - Not that I can recall. Mr. WILCOTT - No. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Assuming that Oswald was an agent for the CIA, would the agency's cash disbursement files have referred to either Oswald or to his cryptonym?

When, exactly, was the very first time that you heard or came across information that Oswald was an agent? Charles Givens, like Oswald, had left the building after the assassination. He had keen interests in history and weather, and much of his writing related to these. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes. Mr. WILCOTT - No. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, sir.

The first contact I had with any reporter or any newspaper people or any media people was with Glad Day Press.

It was an infantry replacement center as well as a German POW camp. that I had at my gate, and I did that with cryptonyms from time to time for something -- we would want to check back into their accounting for something. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Do you have any knowledge of any record of the CIA at the XXXXXXXX Station ever being destroyed out of the ordinary course of business, not as a matter of routine? Mr. SAWYER - Do you distinguish between an agent and a paid informant or do you use those terms interchangeably? Mr. GOLDSMITH - So, then, really, no purpose would have been served by checking those records? Mr. WILCOTT - I cannot remember. Mr. WILCOTT - Along those lines they said things like, well, that Oswald couldn't have pulled the trigger, that only CIA could have set up such an elaborate project and there was nobody with the kind of knowledge or information that could have done this, and this was more in the speculative realm. Mr. WILCOTT - Well, it was just a cryptonym, and it could refer to a person, or it could refer to something else and I would have no way of knowing what a cryptonym referred to. Why would anyone share the information that Oswald was an agent with you, Mr. Wilcott? Near the two freight elevators were Shelley and co-worker Billy Lovelady.

That would be William Shelley, who Oswald worked under for six weeks as an order filler for the Texas School Book Depository (TSBD). Mr. CORNWELL - What type of people were they? Mr. WILCOTT - The "need-to-know" principle was not all that we followed, and just about every one of the big projects that the agency was involved in, information leaked out, and we especially within the CIA knew about it, and someone would go to a party and have a little bit too much to drink and start saying things that they really shouldn't be saying to keep in mind what the "need-to-know" principle was.

Mr. GOLDSMITH - Do you know whether CIA Headquarters would have had either copies or originals of the cash disbursement files?
