Mr. GOLDSMITH - Mr. Wilcott, assuming that Oswald had been employed as an agent by the CIA, would there have been a reference to that fact in the CIA's cash disbursement file?

Mr. WILCOTT - All of the people that we mentioned in the case. Mr. CORNWELL - On any other occasions? 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 - And your testimony has been truthful and candid? men asked the employees point blank if they were members of the C.I.A. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes.

Mr. WILCOTT - Well, my tires were slashed and damage done to my car and I believe sugar poured in the gas tank, and whether this was actually CIA or not I have no way of knowing, and it could also have been just for harassment as a result of antiwar activities but I think there is also a possibility that it could have been attempts to intimidate me into talking about the CIA. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, sir. Mr. DODD - I am just a little confused, I guess, over your reaction. Mr. DODD - I have just a couple of questions. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes. For instance, in accounting, when we had our audits, for instance, in most of the audits, he would call up somebody -- let's say in China Branch -- and say "I know you were having problems with this, would you like to look it over before the auditors come? Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, sir. Mr. GOLDSMITH - So, when the officer told you -- strike that. Mr. WILCOTT - I don't really have anything and maybe I would just like to say I think it is time we got this thing cleared up; and I think for the good of the country and for good of the people I think it is really time that all of the facts were brought out and the people really get the facts.

Mr. GOLDSMITH - And will you tell the Committee what that relationship was? Mr. WILCOTT - It is based on the principle that only those persons who are involved in a project or involved in operation -- and even things that would not seem to be at all in any way secret -- only those people should know about, it and nobody else should know about it, and that was a "need-to-know" basis Mr. WILCOTT - Surely, sir. Mr. GOLDSMITH - I understand. Mr. GOLDSMITH - I realize this is testimony 15 years after the fact. Mr. WILCOTT - I can't remember, sir. Also puzzling is the manner by which they asked new employees point-blank if they were members of the CIA. 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.

Mr. PREYER - So that in XXXX, you indicated, six or seven people talked to you and were, as I understood it, rather definite about the Oswald connection?

Spaulding Jones, former branch manager of MacMillan, said they moved in around 1957 or 1958. Mr. GOLDSMITH - As a matter of routine, there would be that reference? That is what we are attempting to accomplish, which is quite a big order. Redemption links and eBooks cannot be resold. Mr. Wilcott, maybe we can expedite this somewhat by asking you this: Do you have any first-hand knowledge or information as to a link between the failed Bay of Pigs operation and the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy?

And we thought every year it was going to be coming out, and especially I didn't think that -- since what I had heard was all hearsay that I would never have seen Oswald or anything like that -- this is not the kind of thing that would be used for even something like the Warren Commission, and they would have to have something more substantial than that to go on, aside from the fact that I never would have done it in the CIA, being a very risky thing to do with the CIA.
