Shelleys claim that he was an intelligence officer would make sense if, as an ROTC lieutenant, he received intelligence training and perhaps even given some assignments in counterespionage.

He said he went back inside and went into the basement for ten minutes, supposedly eating his lunch.[25]. James Wilcott's Testimony Intro Author: Jim Hargrove <hargrove@enteract.com> . Mr. GOLDSMITH - If the agency, in fact, was run on the "need-to-know" basis, how would you account for so many people supposedly knowing that Oswald was an agent? Write to Editor@jfkfacts.org. 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 - At the time that this allegation first came to your attention, did you discuss it with anyone? Mr. WILCOTT - No, sir; I think I had good performance reviews right up to the time that I left. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Were there any other times during your stay with the CIA at XXXXXXXXXX Station that you came across information that Oswald had been a CIA agent? The band started out in 1966 in Long Beach, California, and became known for its unique blend of country western and rock and roll. Mr. SAWYER - Who is the public safety commissioner?

I apologize." If they do agree to be interviewed, they are truthful in what they say, except on one particular point: the year when they moved into the building. When Joe entered the building, he took a recently installed passenger elevator to the fourth floor. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes. [5] Examination of city directories and phone books in the Dallas Public Library shows that the book depository and the publishing companies did not have the 411 Elm Street address until 1963.

Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, sir; I believe that happened. This was all cash payments and record keeping for the station. Mr. CORNWELL - You had signed a secrecy oath while you were employed with the Agency? They received threats over the telephone, even death threats. It was dated December 12, 1977,[11] and, at the bottom, it had the authors full name. 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 - No, sir. [16] At the same time, the president of the company, Jack Cason, spent five days a week, Monday through Friday, in uniform at Fort Wolters at Mineral Wells (80 miles west of Dallas). Mr. GOLDSMITH - So that they would be routinely destroyed at the time of auditing? Which he was allegedly working for. Mr. WILCOTT - They called me up to chief of security, the agent security, and they interviewed me on the association that I had had with the group, and then they gave me a polygraph -- in fact, two polygraphs -- concerning my association with the group of people that I met with the group. Mr. WILCOTT - I don't remember his name now offhand. Apparently, security measures to keep people from talking continued even after they went into retirement or found other occupations. He kept his pocket calendars from his years of employment, and he noted when the grocery company moved out of the building to a new facility in another part of Dallas. I will give my card to the Committee. I am sorry. His information was that he had been unwitt. Mr. WILCOTT - Anything they had there would have -- sometimes they used as many as two or three different cryptonyms and they would have -- it all depended on how far they wanted to isolate it from the original source, from the original source as to where the project was run. 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. We are operating under House Resolution 222, which mandates the Committee to conduct a full and complete investigation and study of the circumstances surrounding the assassination and death of President John F. Kennedy, including determining whether the existing laws of the United States concerning the protection of the President and the investigatory jurisdiction and capability of agencies and departments are adequate in their provisions and enforcement; and whether there was full disclosure of evidence and information among agencies and department of the United States Government and whether any evidence or information not in the possession of an agency of department would have been of assistance in investigating the assassination and why such information was not provided or collected by that agency or department, and to make recommendations to the House if the Select Committee deems it appropriate for the amendment of existing legislation or the enactment of new legislation. In addition, all of my interview notes and tapes inexplicably disappeared. Mr. GOLDSMITH - However, your testimony is that you spoke to only six people as an estimate who indicated that Oswald was a CIA agent -- and when I say six people, I mean six CIA people, is that correct? [11] Glaze misdated his letter as 12/12/74.. Also Present: Elizabeth Berning, Chief Clerk, and Charles Berk, Betsy Wolf and James Wolf. Mr. PREYER - The committee will resume. Confirming these observations were two more spectators, Ronald Fischer and Robert Edwards, who saw a man with light-colored hair and a light-colored open-neck shirt at a window on the fifth floor. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes. Did you contact any CIA officer or employee with respect to the secrecy oath and discuss with them whether or not you should be permitted to discuss these matters outside of the Agency? Wilcott lost a good job after leaving the CIA after his employer was told he would soon be under incitement when he wasnt and never was. Mr. CORNWELL - Is there any chance that that record stil exists? ). He thereafter went outside and stood around for five or ten minutes with foreman BILL SHELLEY, and thereafter went home. [30] In that same article Rose writes that Shelly was one of the building employees who identified Oswald for the police when he was brought in to the station. Mr. GOLDSMITH - When was the first time that you alleged in public that Oswald was a CIA agent. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Is the answer to that "yes"? Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, I did. 359-360, 386-387. Mr. WILCOTT - My boss, Frank O'Connor said that this was told him by the public safety commissioner and that the FBI had told the public safety commissioner. Mr. CORNWELL - In other words, that is, the first two letters or the last ones would have been the same as this? Mr. GOLDSMITH - Your book. ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY Mr. GOLDSMITH - What was your response to this revelatic as to what Oswald's cryptonym was? Mr. GOLDSMITH - What is the name of the book? Mr. GOLDSMITH - Why would anyone have shared this particular information with you? Mr. SAWYER - What was the gist of them? Mr. WILCOTT - That was November of 1977. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Do you remember when specifically this conversation took place? These promotions will be applied to this item: Some promotions may be combined; others are not eligible to be combined with other offers.

Mr. WILCOTT - I left the agency in April of 1966 for the Miami Station. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Did you bring your allegation to the attention of the Warren Commission? I went immediately into the clear space on the ground floor and asked where there was a phone. That he continued to serve in a military, or semi-military, capacity at the same time he was working for a schoolbook company is indicated by his obituary, which said he was a veteran of World War II. Mr. CORNWELL - Had you ever run into any similar cryptonym? According to his testimony to the Warren Commission, after graduating from high school, he worked in defense plants a little bit during the war and started working at the Texas School Book Depository.[15] The short amount of time between his graduation in late May 1945 and the end of World War II on September 2 plus his employment in defense plants seems to conflict with his claim that he joined an intelligence service and became an officer. During a follow up call, he told me that the two musicians were not in contact with former members of the band and knew nothing of their whereabouts nor of their current activities. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Could you give an example of that? She said that she had been in the personnel department since 1982, and she never knew anyone by that name. There were two depositories in the state of Texas. Mr. WILCOTT - Not that I can recall. Those are discussions with people who gave the indication that there was every certainty that Oswald was an agent of CIA, runout of XXXXXXX Station, and that he was freed from Russia there in the final courses in Russia and was trained by CIA people at Atsugi. Mr. SAWYER - Well, what were your antiwar activities that you refer to? The building is a large, one-story, concrete tilt-up, ideal for storing and moving huge quantities of material goods with forklifts and palettes. Mr. WILCOTT - This was SNIC, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee before they became a black power group Mr. GOLDSMITH - Would those summaries be destroyed as a matter of routine, to your knowledge? Mr. PREYER - It had no relation to your performance? SILENCED! Mr. CORNWELL - But your testimony or your statements on the subject hadn't been made a matter of publicity on any other occasion? Mr. GOLDSMITH - And finally, as I said at the beginning is it fair to say that you are here voluntarily today? Mr. GOLDSMITH - And will you tell the Committee what that relationship was? A fellow researcher named Eric Lee Jordan visited the site and took pictures of it. "I was standing on the triple underpass at the time and was wounded by a fragment that bounced off the pavement," Tague, now 77, told ABC News. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Did this Case Officer tell you what Oswald's cryptonym was? I can't remember what it was. We appreciate your being here today, Mr. Wilcott. Mr. CORNWELL - Did any event cause any disagreement between you and the Agency? CIA finance officer James Wilcott said, Several different individuals or firms in Dallas had been involved in one way or another with acting as cut-outs for arms shipments to Cuban exiles for the invasion. [12] Wilcotts 3/22/78 HSCA deposition, pp. Mr. CORNWELL - And would that -- at least in part --. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Can you give the Committee the names of any persons who might corroborate your allegation? 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? That would have put it into 1964? They lingered in front of my apartment for nearly an hour, pointing their pistols at my window and shouting in a very threatening manner. Hurt initially doubted that such a large container could be moved into the building inconspicuously. Mr. WILCOTT - Not specifically, only generally. He was still living on Tatum Avenue at the time of the assassination. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Do you know whether CIA Headquarters would have had either copies or originals of the cash disbursement files? My actions were less courageous than they were the result of being nave. Mr. WILCOTT - I worked from the years, May, of 1957 to, April, of 1966. If you should need to contact me, you may do so in care of the Lubbock Avalanche Journal newspaper in Lubbock, Tx. about it & possibly do a story on it. Mr. WILCOTT - That is correct. Mr. GOLDSMITH - So, then, really, no purpose would have been served by checking those records? 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. DODD - You may have covered this as well, Mr. Chairman, and, if you have, I will drop the question. Also puzzling is the manner by which they asked new employees point-blank if they were members of the CIA. Please excuse this messy letter. Yet judging by the disgust in his voice when he said at the police station Im just a patsy, he probably did not know that he would be the one accused of killing the president. "[24] Lovelady must have been one of the other calm men, since, as previously noted, he made no response when Adams said that the president had been shot. Mr. WILCOTT - No. Mr. CORNWELL - It is your testimony, as I understand it, the first time that you spoke about the Oswald agency matter outside of the CIA was after you left the CIA; is that correct? Mr. SAWYER - I noticed in somne of the information we are provided you say that following your leaving the CIA in 1967 or thereabouts, for a period of some three years or so, you were harassed by the CIA and the FBI and sabotaged, as I recollect it. Instead, he might have been one of the temporary musicians. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Well, in other words, if you got the information three months after the assassination, Oswald had already been dead for three months, is that right? Fritz was on the sixth floor examining the scene when Truly told him of this. Was there any dispute between you and the Agency? And perhaps even having people inside the TSBD as assets. Governor John Connally and his wife, Nellie, sat in front of them. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, sir, I did. If you have something -- Mr. WILCOTT - That is right. Spaulding Jones, former branch manager of MacMillan, said they moved in around 1957 or 1958. Mr. SAWYER - Who told this to the community development, people? Mr. GOLDSMITH - Do you have anything to add in response to that question? [22] And this likely included coaxing Shelly and Lovelady into making an ersatz trip across the street to the railroad yards before their return to the TSBD, which is now when they said they saw Styles and Adams. The home of Joe Bergin, Sr. and his wife seemed to have been a target for persecution, perhaps because Mrs. Bergin was strongly pro-Kennedy and actively worked for his election in 1960. Mr. GOLDSMITH - And for purposes of clarification, now, if Oswald was already dead at the time that you went to this book, why did you go back to examine the book? I am afraid we are going to have to leave to make this vote right now. Mr. WILCOTT - They never revealed that to me, sir, as far as their relations with Oswald. Mr. WILCOTT - No, sir, not that I can recall. [8] Jim Marrs, Crossfire (Carroll & Graf. Mr. WILCOTT - No. How long were the XXXXXXXXX cash disbursement files or records retained? 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. Mr. GOLDSMITH - I am not sure that that is responsive. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Did you check your cash disbursement files? In late 1977, while working as a reporter for the Avalanche-Journal newspaper in Lubbock, Texas, I submitted written testimony to the United States House of Representatives newly-formed Select Committee on Assassinations. Ruffians driving by yelled derogatory things and threw objects at the house such as half-empty beer cans.

He was fortunate to have many travels, including celebration of his 60th birthday in Antarctica. Mr. SAWYER - What would they say? Not long after Oswald departed from the scene, Shelley told Truly that Oswald was missing. (Whereupon, a recess was taken while the members of the Committee went to the floor of the House for a vote.). Mr. GOLDSMITH - I am sorry, I didn't hear. From June of 1960 to June of 1964, I was stationed at XXXXXXX Station, and my primary duty was finance and cash disbursements. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes. He was not questioned by the Warren Commission. We think our readers would be interested in reading his evidence./p>, (Click here to open the document in another page.). Mr. GOLDSMITH - I did not intend to get into that area. Mr. CORNWELL - Perhaps I can rephrase the question and get more pointedly what I need without running into the problem that you see. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, I am sure somewhere. Mr. GOLDSMITH - And have you just described one of those instances to us? Mr. WILCOTT - Yes. Mr. WILCOTT - Oh, no. I spoke to groups in their homes and I spoke to groups in the Peace and Freedom Party and I was with the Peace and Freedom Party for several years. ALTERED! As described to me by Joe Bergin, Jr., son of the regional manager of Scott Foresman, working conditions changed dramatically after the assassination. Mr. CORNWELL - Did you -- at the time you made the decision to discuss outside of the Agency this matter, did you focus on the secrecy oath problem? Do you believe that there was such a reference to Oswald? Mr. CORNWELL - Last November? The day after, perhaps, two or three weeks after, the kind of talk was that CIA was somehow connected. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, sir. When the woman heard that Glaze was planning to go to the FBI, or had already been to the FBI, she was terrified and told him that she would deny everything. He learned this after the fact through various sources within the Agency, who all recognized what had happened after the assassination and the association of Oswalds name with the crime. He said there were two musicians who had been with the band since the beginning and he would speak to them. There were, as I recall, three men there, all I think in shirt sleeves. Why would men who had just shown their FBI identification badges suspect that new employees were concealing the fact that they too were connected to an intelligence agency? 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? Mr. GOLDSMITH - And you have had access to the cash disbursement files at XXXXXXXXXXXXX Station? Mr. CORNWELL - Did they tell you whether or not you passed the polygraphs? I will ask if you will stand and be sworn. Mr. DODD - How long had you been married by the way? Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, he was. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Are you saying, then, that the cash disbursement files as a matter of routine would be periodically destoryed? Common to both the 1977 and 1989 letters are the strange men asking strange questions. Mr. DODD - After the assassination actually occurred? The mayor, Mr. Sawyer, was Dominic Casaro. The 1960 directory lists him as a department manager for the Texas School Book Depository, living in a house at 126 Tatum Avenue. He was not questioned by the Warren Commission. Mr. GOLDSMITH - At the time that this allegation first came to your attention, did you learn the name of Oswald's Case Offficer at the CIA? [19] Immediately after Adams and Styles went out the back door, Officer Marion Baker came in through the front door and met Roy Truly. [26], Pierce Allman, a local newsman, later said that after he approached the TSBD, a man he recalled as Oswald near the front of the building, directed him to a phone inside.[27]. Please try again. Roy Truly was, up to the time of his death in 1985, continuously frightened by "federal authorities." Mr. PREYER - Under our committee rules, Mr. Wilcott, a witness is entitled, at the conclusion of the questioning, to make a five-minute statement if he wishes or to give a fuller explanation of any of his answers; so that at this time we make that five minutes available to you if you care to elaborate or say anything further. 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? Prior to this time, the building was occupied by a wholesale grocery company engaged in supplying restaurants and institutions.[4] The wholesale grocery company was the John Sexton Company. [10] Larry Ray Harris at the age of 44 died in an automobile accident on October 5, 1996. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes. I made my call and left. Mr. WILCOTT - The specific incident was soon after the Kennedy assassination, where an agent, a Case Officer -- I am sure it was a Case Officer -- came up to my window to draw money, and he specifically said in the conversation that ensued, he specifically said, "Well, Jim, the money that I drew the last couple of weeks ago or so was money," either for the Oswald project or for Oswald. Like Frazier, who was eating lunch in the basement, Oswald went to the first-floor lunchroom to eat his lunch. Their apartment looked as if no one had ever lived in it. Mr. WILCOTT - It is a little bit east of Oakland, California. Mr. GOLDSMITH - How long were these records maintained? responsibilities were primarily record keeping and disbursing of funds. Did you write it down or do anything? Mr. GOLDSMITH - Did you check any of the earlier books?

Mr. WILCOTT - Yes. Mr. CORNWELL - What year was that? It was only my personal Mr. GOLDSMITH - You have indicated that you were not inclined to go to the Warren Commission because you were concerned about their security? Its also includes links to many hours of online videos you can watch on the evidence covered. According to an FBI report dated November 22, 1963, warehouse manager Roy Truly said, The Texas School Book Depository has occupied the building at 411 Elm Street for only a few months. In the work that Oliver Stone has done for his upcoming four-part documentary series on the JFK case, he uncovered information that Truly was not being paid directly through the Texas School Book Depository in 1963. James Wilcott worked out of the Tokyo CIA station at the time of the assassination. Mr. WILCOTT - We thought every year, my wife and I and the friends that we had -- we said, "Well, this is one thing that they aren't going to keep a lid on." Give as a gift or purchase for a team or group. Mr. DODD - at that time? My testimony included numerous meetings with a man named Bill Shelly (I am no longer certain of the correct spelling of his last name.) The Three Barons proves that it is possible (with enough research), to reconstruct the organizational chart of the JFK plot. JAMES WILCOTT'S TESTIMONYJames B. Wilcott, a former CIA accountant, swore in a secret session of the House Select Committee on Assassinations that he was told by other CIA employees that Lee Harvey Oswald was paid by the CIA, and that money he himself had disbursed was for "Oswald or the Oswald project." How much exact knowledge they had it is impossible for me to say. Mr. CORNWELL - In the conversations which you have described occurring within a period of one, two or three months after the assassination with other CIA employees and officers, did they suggest in those conversations to you that their employment, the CIA's employment, of Oswald had any relation to the assassination or only that it related to the, events you have already described -- namely, the training of him in Atsugi in the Russian language and the sending of him to Russia and using of him as a double agent and that sort of thing? I found it very, very difficult to talk about these things that I think ought to be talked about, very difficult. Mr. GOLDSMITH - I understand. It could be a hoax, but sounds sincere. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 1978 I have entered other webs, but this one is different because the spider leaves the web and stalks its preysometimes for many years.. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, I have opinions. Did you cover this ground? ", and things like that.

Mr. GOLDSMITH - Were you ever able to check those particular files? Mr. GOLDSMITH - Where is Concord located? Was there something more to this move than meets the eye? Mr. WILCOTT - Not really files; it was my book. Mr. WILCOTT - Well, it was my understanding that Lee Harvey Oswald was an employee of the agency and was an agent, of the agency. Joe was unable to determine if the arson was assassination-related. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes. As a CIA employee, Wilcott stated under oath that many people told him that Lee Harvey Oswald was an agent of the CIA after the assassination had occurred. Mr. GOLDSMITH - To your knowledge, would any records at CIA Headquarters document that Oswald was a CIA agent? Mr. WILCOTT - Oh, yes. He was the mayor at that time. Mr. DODD - And your dissatisfaction with the Agency and with the course of American government preceded the actual assassination of President Kennedy? Mr. WILCOTT - Yes. In the mid-1970s, the band employed a ten-piece orchestra to back them up. Mr. GOLDSMITH - And a copy of the relevant House Resolutions? Learn more. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Do you remember where this conversation took place? Mr. WILCOTT - Yes, sir. Mr. GOLDSMITH - And how did that come to your attention: exactly for sure. Mr. WILCOTT - It has been 15 years, and I can't remember specifically who said what, but certainly I am sure that Jerry Fox, for instance, had at least made some mention of it. The specific incident was soon after the Kennedy assassination, where an agent, a Case Officer -- I am sure it was a Case Officer -- came up to my window to draw money, and he specifically said in the conversation that ensued, he specifically said, "Well, Jim, the money that I drew the last couple of weeks ago or so was money," either Glazes meetings with Shelley were therefore not at the Ambassador Row facility, as I originally believed, but rather they occurred at the building on Gemini Lane. In 1938, he became a salesman for Scott Foresman. Did you recognize any part of it, the first two letters or the last portions of it, as referring to any geographic area or any type of activity or anything like that? Mr. WILCOTT - I don't understand. There is a very large spider guarding this web of secrecy. Mr. WILCOTT - Yes. It must have been puzzling to Glaze, as it is to us reading his letters, why a government agency would be providing security for a privately-owned company. Other people who worked at the book depository suffered as well. Mr. GOLDSMITH - Very generally now, what were your responsibilities as a finance employee with the agency?
