58. Your last sentence comes pretty close to the truth,
though perhaps inadvertently: "But, one thing we know is that the C.I.A. (or the Cubans, Mafia or LBJ) killed Kennedy." LBJ and the CIA were absolutely involved; anti-Castro Cubans and/or Mafia shooters may have been employed although, as many allege, although my suspicion is that they were probably back-up patsies.

In any case, Wilcott's testimony to the House Select Committee on Assassinations is pretty explicit:

Mr. Goldsmith. And, Mr. Wilcott, is it true that you are a former employee with the CIA and that you are here today testifying voluntarily without a subpoena?

Mr. Wilcott. Yes.

Mr. Goldsmith. During what years did you work for the CIA?

Mr. Wilcott. I worked from the years, May, of 1957 to, April, of 1966.

Mr. Goldsmith. And in what general capacity did you work with the CIA?

Mr. Wilcott. All in the finance--in accounting all of the time.

{. . . .}

Mr. Goldsmith. Drawing your attention to the period immediately after the assassination of President Kennedy, at that time, did you come across any information concerning Lee Harvey Oswald's relationship with the CIA?

Mr. Wilcott. Yes, I did.

Mr. Goldsmith. And will you tell the Committee what that relationship was?

Mr. Wilcott. Well, it was my understanding that Lee Harvey Oswald was an employee of the agency and was an agent of the agency.

Mr. Goldsmith. What do you mean by the term "agent?"

Mr. Wilcott. That he was a regular employee, receiving a full-time salary for agent work for doing CIA operational work.
