The idea that Bruce Solie and James McCord were both KGB assets [sic; moles] is riveting. The idea holds water, given Solie's actions.
From pages 395-96 in John M. Newman’s 1995/2008
Oswald and the CIA:
Where were the cables between headquarters and the Mexico City station filed before the assassination? During the 1975 Church Committee investigation, investigators Dan Dwyer and Ed Greissing visited the CIA on November 3 and examined Oswald's 201 file. Their report contained this passage on the comments of Mr. Wall, a member of the CIA's Counterintelligence Staff: [My comment: This was eleven months after probable mole Leonard V. McCoy had become Deputy Chief of CIA Counterintelligence.]
“Mr. Wall explained that some of the documents now filed in the Oswald 201 were not filed there at the time of the President's assassination. Some were located in file 200, (miscellaneous international file); others in file 100 (miscellaneous domestic file); others in the WH Division files (
those generated by the Mexico City station; and, others in the files reserved for documents with sensitivity indicators.” [7] [emphasis added by Newman]
According to the documents lists, the cables to and from the CIA station in Mexico City, as well as the CIA reports to the FBI and other governmental departments, were also placed in Oswald's 201 file. [8]
From the above, it is apparent that Oswald's documents were going to several different locations. Was there anyone who had access to all of them? Again, the 100-300-11 location seems to be the latchkey. Besides those directly involved in Cuban operations, such as the SAS and the Mexico City desk, other CIA elements had been involved with FPCC operations. As previously discussed, Birch O'Neill had written reports about the FPCC for CI/SIG, and
in the Security Office, James McCord had been connected to counterintelligence operations against the FPCC since at least early 1961 [9]. Were either of these offices associated with the special handling of the New Orleans FBI reporting on Oswald?
The answer is yes. One of the two documents lists contains an interesting note in the “Formerly Filed” column. For the September 10th Hosty report, it states, “Copy CI/SIG [351164] 100-300-11.” [10] The other documents list has a column with the heading “Location of Original” that has this entry: “CI/SI File 100-300-11.” [11] CI/SI was short for CI/SIG, and it appears that the mole hunting unit was again connected with a key change in Oswald's CIA file designators. [12] Moreover,
the association of Oswald's security number (351164) with the 100-300-11 file denotes a security office tie-in. They had been tracking Oswald all along and now had access to this file too. Thus, it appears that it was Angleton's CI/SIG which,
in conjunction with the Security Office, had all the pieces to the Oswald puzzle. (emphasis added)
