Summary  
This document is a memorandum from the National Security Agency (NSA) to the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Intelligence), dated 26 January 1976, responding to queries from the Senate Select Committee regarding the Warren Commission's investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The memo addresses questions raised by Alton Quanbeck, a member of the Senate Select Committee Staff, and outlines NSA’s role in the inquiry. It states that NSA retained photocopies of reports for record-keeping but destroyed them, with no operational use or findings related to the assassination. The document notes that Cuban military forces went on alert immediately after the assassination, though no explanation is provided for this action. No direct evidence linking Cuban or Soviet transmissions to the assassination was found.
