Pseudonym: Oswald, Harvey Lee
8/7/59 Parents' Dependency Affidavit: Marguerite Oswald describes her son on the first page of the document as "Oswald, Harvey Lee" - but after she introduces him as "Lee Harvey Oswald".

ONI Files on Lee Harvey Oswald Received by Bud Fensterwald From the Navy Under FOIA in 1974
6/27/60 memo. DIO (District Intelligence Office), Ninth District confidential report serial 02296-E. Peter Dale Scott believes this is "the earliest reference to Harvey Lee Oswald". This document and 6/8/60 DIO Ninth District memo 02049-E were missing from the file, sought on 11/23/63, and did not surface for many years. The ABC initials may have been written by CIA officer Evalena Vidal, using her pseudonym Alice Capanong. The 6/8/60 memo is here: https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=217731&relPageId=11&search=02296 When found, ONI described these June 60 memos as merely "letters of transmittal". https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=217732&search=5520#relPageId=139&tab=page Note that on 6/24/60, the Marines sent LHO notice of his 8/7/60 hearing that was never received and returned "unclaimed" - this resulted in his undesirable discharge and the loss of his benefits.

FBI 105-82555 Oswald HQ File, Section 3
11/24/63 memo, 5:11 pm, from SAC, NY to Director FBI re CP USA, IS-C (note: Internal Security: Communism) - file 100-3: This FBI had a 3 page memo - with a handwritten note "Harvey Lee Oswald" - and obviously focused on the United States Communist Party - on a memo completely covered with black ink and with missing pages. This memo is probably the one described below. Record Number: 124-10156-10002 Record Series: HQ Agency: FBI Agency File No.: 105-82555-1ST NR 96 Originator: FBI From: SAC, NY To: DIRECTOR, FBI Date: 11/24/1963 Pages: 3 Subjects: LHO, POST-RP, POL AND SUBV ACT, FPCC; Document Type: PAPER, TEXTUAL DOCUMENT Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Restrictions: OPEN IN FULL Current Status: OPEN Date of Last Review: 03/07/1995 On the next page, a follow-up memo dated 11/25 and 7:47 pm is also completely blacked out. See 124-10156-10003 - the follow-up memo reveals that 3903-C (clearly a secretary, probably working directly for CP chairman Gus Hall) remembers writing a letter to Oswald of Irving, Texas from one of her "dictation notebooks". "The letter was dictated by Arnold Johnson, and reads as..." before it is cut off. This first page of this memo was provided to the public on 10/26/17 - the other three pages remain missing at this time. Also see 124-10242-10266 for another version of this event - it also has at least one page missing.

1/17/68 memo from Chief, Mexico City to Chief WH. The attachment to this memo states: "Identity Sheet - Identity: Harvey OSWALD." On the previous page, the Mexico City station referred to the CIA photographing visitors to the Cuban embassy compound in the context of “the Identity Case” – and someone wrote in the word "OSWALD". IDENTITY was a code used by the CIA when they didn’t know someone’s name or the information was sensitive. One 201 file was literally named 201-IDENTITY.

However, we should note this re Oswald for future. Pete (probably Pete Bagley, a CI supervisor) has seen and I routed orig to (Ray) Rocca (note: Rocca was a trusted assistant officer to CI chief James Angleton.” Page 6 states what was probably the original question for Oleg Lyalin: "Do you have information about Lee Harvey Oswald and/or his wife Marina Oswald (nee Prussakova)?" (Note that Marina's maiden name was actually Prusakova.)
