Oswald as CIA agent: Yet another former CIA man, Harry Dean, has
claimed that Oswald was recruited into the Agency while stationed at
Atsugi ("JFK Exclusive: Oswald was U.S. Agent!," Argosy, October,
1976.) Dean, who said he participated in undercover operations against
Castro as well as the infiltration of such organizations as the Fair Play of
Cuba Committee, the Minutemen and the John Birch Society, claimed
Oswald shot no one in Dallas, but was incriminated in the assassination
by a conspiracy headed by an unnamed U.S. congressman and general.

192 CIA "201' document: HSCA Report, pp. 200-205.

FBI on espionage: NOTE: In Oswald's pocket when arrested was a 3" x 2"
top of a department store box labeled "Cox's. Ft. Worth" (XXIV.345).
Intelligence agents have been known to carry such innocuous but unusual
items to identify themselves to other agents. The box top's significance is
enhanced by the fact that it was not included in the Warren Commission
exhibits which presented thousands of less relevant items.
