purpose of a double agent assignment in the U.S.S.R."*
The Agency, has been exceedingly modest about Oswald's
possible intelligence assignment in the Soviet Union, its

Committee on Assassinations. This employee, a paymaster,
testified that he had handled the funding for the project to
which Oswald had been assigned. Disposing of this problem,
however, was duck soup for the Agency. A chorus line of other
Agency witnesses, whose names he had mentioned, was produced and
they smoothly denied all knowledge of such a. thing. The members
of the Committee lost interest in the lead and turned their minds
to livlier leads such as Castro's revenge. 23 The observation
must be made that nothing seemed to interest the Committee's
higher investigative staff less than the production of informa-
tion connecting the C.I.A. with Lee Oswald.
