Summary  
The documents detail NSA reviews of materials related to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination between 1963 and 1978, including Cuban diplomatic and military communications, FBI records, and requests by investigative committees. Key findings include four Cuban diplomatic messages referencing Lee Harvey Oswald’s visa activities and comments on the assassination, three Cuban military reports indicating delayed responses post-assassination, a 1962 Cuban intelligence message about Antonio Veciana’s assassination, a 1966 Cuban diplomatic message involving Spanish diplomat Jaime Caldevilla and potential CIA links, FBI documents related to French intelligence agents, and a 1967 Cuban message referencing Jim Garrison’s investigation. The conclusion stated no evidence of Cuban involvement in the assassination was found. A 1976 Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) request sought information on Antonio Veciana, referencing an NSA document from 1962, and explored Cuban-related materials from 1961–1965. The SSCI also requested data on David William Ferrie, a New Orleans resident linked to the Jim Garrison investigation. A FOIA request by James M. Powers (1977) sought additional materials on Ferrie, including his death status.
