Lee Harvey Oswald was the accused assassin of President Kennedy. And it turned out that the CIA had been reading his mail from 1960 to 1962. And Ruben Efron was the man at the CIA who did that. Now, we had seen portions of Ruben Efron's memo before, but what Ruben Efron wrote a memo in 1962 to a colleague in the CIA, and he had recalled a letter that he had intercepted.

So this is male surveillance. So what the CIA was doing was they were intercepting the letters of people who had been targeted by the agency. They would get the letter, they would steam it open, they would copy it, they would read it, and they would file it, and then they would put the letter back in the envelope, reseal it, and send it on its way. So they're stealing the content of Oswald's mail.

Now, People may wonder, well, why were they reading the mail of the guy who supposedly shot the president? Well, Oswald was a Marine who had moved to the Soviet Union out of sympathy for communism. He lived there for a couple of years, married a Russian woman, and come home. And so the CIA was very interested in him, and they were reading his mail during this period.

But the important part about the story of Ruben Efron is not only did we not know that the CIA was reading his mail, not only did we not know that it was Ruben Efron in particular, a CIA operations officer who was doing it, but also... Ruben Efron wrote his memo to his colleague after Oswald had returned to the United States.

So the CIA was interested in Oswald even when he was back in the United States, which is a violation of the agency's charter, which says the agency, except in very limited circumstances, cannot target U.S. citizens or conduct operations on U.S. soil. So the CIA in the case of Oswald violated

that prohibition against that and they kept track of oswald while he was on u.s soil after 1962. so the importance of the reuben effron story which only came out when i published it in the new york times published it this past july was the cia had the accused assassin under surveillance and under surveillance in 1963, and indeed, right up until the week before Kennedy leaves for Dallas.

So we understand much better now how close the surveillance of Oswald was. You know, in this letter that Ruben Efron intercepted, it's not like... oh, look, he's betraying secrets or, oh, look, he could be a secret agent for us. It's nothing like that. They're interested in the details of his personal life. There was nothing exceptional in the letter.

There was no sensitive security content in that letter. They wanted to know about Oswald's state of mind. And so the story is important is, well, first of all, the CIA lied about that. They didn't disclose this to assassination investigators. But why were they interested in his state of mind? What was going on? Did they not realize he was a threat to the president?
