Lee Harvey Oswald is the ambiguous figure at the heart of the Kennedy assassination.

Any effort to explain what happened in Dallas must explain Lee Harvey Oswald.

And Lee Alvey Oswald is a mystery wrapped up an enigma hidden behind a riddle.

He is not, I put it in simple words, an easy man to explain.

What he arrived at at Tsuki Air Base in Japan wasn't simply an Air Force defense base.

It was a CIA base, and the CIA program taking place at that base

involved one of America's most secret and important reconnaissance missions,

the spy plane, which became famous as the YouTube plane.

Did Oswald develop ties to the CIA at Atsugi?

There is no hard evidence.

What is known is that he started to learn Russian and openly espoused the virtues of Marxism to fellow Marines.

If you complained about, we've got to go on a march this morning, or we've got to do this this morning, scrub barracks, whatever we had to do, if you were complaining about it, he would say that that was the capitalist form of government

making us do these things.

Karl Marx and his form of government would alleviate that.

Even though he was nicknamed Osvaldovich, no one investigated him or his political sympathies.

This man was a man with a security clearance.

This man was a man who had access to highly sophisticated materials.

And he is now showing an entrance in Marxism.

In retrospect, I think that what this indicates, and this was the judgment of the committee, is that our own people aren't as efficient as we might think they ought to be, that more often than not, it's keystone cops and not stainless steel efficiency.
