Summary:  
The document is a classified NSA report dated November 29, 1963, titled "Polish Reactions to KENNEDY'S DEATH." It details diplomatic communications between the Polish Mission to the UN and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Warsaw. The text discusses speculation in Poland about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, linking it to internal political struggles and external actors such as the CIA, Texas police, and Lee Harvey Oswald, a pro-Castro activist. It notes that initial commentary in Poland associated the assassination with U.S. agencies and Cuban interests, while U.S. officials, including President Lyndon B. Johnson and the Department of State, denied involvement by the USSR or Cuba. The report also references anti-communist sentiment in the U.S. press and its connection to broader geopolitical tensions, such as detente efforts and incidents involving Iran and Berlin. A follow-up document from November 23, 1963, mentions anticipated political intrigue in Poland following Kennedy's funeral, including speculation about Secretary of State Dean Rusk’s potential resignation and possible successors like Robert Komer or John Harrier.
