Summary  
This document is an interview conducted by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) with Donald Deneslya on September 24, 1978. Deneslya, a former CIA employee from 1961 to 1964, served as an Administrative Assistant for Anatoli Goltsin, a Soviet defector known by the alias "John Stone." Goltsin was involved in intelligence activities, including providing information on Western intelligence leaks and defecting to the USSR in 1961. Deneslya describes Goltsin's work with the CIA, his role in analyzing American intelligence reports, and his suspicions about a mole within the agency. The interview also references a contact report from New York City circa July–August 1963 that allegedly identified Lee Harvey Oswald as a former Marine returning to the U.S., potentially linked to a radio factory in Minsk. Deneslya notes the CIA's use of contact reports and its methods for concealing sources. He further mentions discussions about Russian agents, including an incident involving a stamped passport used to identify an agent. The document includes Deneslya’s authorization for the HSCA to review his Senate Intelligence Committee testimony from 1975.
