over China and that part of Asia. Oswald's anti-aircraft unit,
highly classified with regard to security, had the specific
assignment of guarding a U-2 hangar and was surrounded by a high,
heavily wired Page fence. Even the arrival of the daily mail
truck required that it be preceded by a sergeant on foot,
17
equipped with the password for the day.
His service at
Atsugi Air Base is probably best memorialized by two of the many
Central Intelligence Agency documents concerning him which were
classified as unavailable following the Warren Commission
inquiry: CD 931 "Oswald's access to information about the U-2"
and CD 692 "Reproduction of C.I.A. official dossier on
Oswald."18
Another indication of the peculiar security status which
Oswald had acquired in the Marines has been well concealed from
casual view. The island of Quemoy just off the mainland of
communist China, was occupied by the nationalist Chinese - allies
of the United States - but was within shelling distance of the
red Chinese. Periodically, a crisis surfaced when Quemoy was
shelled and threatened by possible invasion from the mainland.
During one of these occasions Oswald was assigned to duty on
Quemoy - but the assignment apparently was of a high security
classification because it was not indicated anywhere in his
service record made available to the Warren Commission.
