"(In) Thomas B. Casasin’s memo to Walter P. Haltigan, Casasin writes: “as chief of the 6 Branch I had discussed – sometime in Summer 1960 (he later corrected that date to “1962”) with the then Chief and Deputy Chief of the 6 Research Section the laying on of interview(s) [with Oswald] through KUJUMP [the operations division] or other suitable channels.” KUJUMP had a contacts division for debriefing persons. KUJUMP was synonymous with 00 (Contacts Division)." Also see 104-10236-10009 - 10/2/62 memo: Request to set up meeting between KUJUMP and Mario del Canal/AMOT-110 denied - info from del Canal as a RESCATE official already being passed through the Consejo group. This may be an attempt by Tony Varona to find out other local CIA contacts.

11/25/63 memo from Thomas B. Casasin to Walter Haltigan: "It makes little difference now, but REDWOOD had at one time an OI interest in Oswald. As soon as I had heard Oswald's name, I recalled that as chief of the 6 branch I had discussed - sometime in summer 1960 - with the then Chief and Deputy Chief of the 6 Research Division the laying on of interview(s) through KUJUMP or other suitable channels."

12/3/63: A final anecdote illustrates the importance of DCD. Who was the head of the Domestic Contacts Division in 1963? E. M. Ashcraft. There is a cryptic note that states "Ask Ashcraft - OO on Oswald" (see the bleed-through on upper right corner of this 12/3/63 document). Here is a better copy. There has been much analysis about what this note means. To me, it means that DCD chief Ashcraft was the logical person to ask if you wanted to learn more about Oswald."
