� Latest Interview of Golitsyn by the HSCA
DD/0'./.t�
1. Soviet defector Anatoliy Mikhaylovich Golitsyn was
interviewed by the staff of the House Select Committee on
Assassinations (HSCA) on 4 and 19 May 1978. On 5 October
1978 a written request was received from Mr. G. Robert Blakey,
Chief Counsel and Director of the HSCA, to interview
Mr. Golitsyn again "with respect to any knowledge he might
have regarding a possible connection between the Soviet KGB
and the assassination of the President of the United States
in 1963."
2. In response to this request Mr. Golitsyn was
brought from his residence in another state and made
available for interview on the morning of 17 October 1978.
This interview was conducted by Mr. Kenneth Klein and
lasted only some 20 minutes. Following the interview
Mr. Golitsyn voluntarily reported-to an officer of this
Staff that aside from a few additional questions concerning
his previous testimony relating to a 1960 KGB contingency
plan for time of war, Mr. Klein's main interest appeared to
be to establish whether Mr. Golitsyn had, in any way, been
"punished" by the Agency for his earlier testimony before
the HSCA and if in the interim period he had received any
instructions designed to 1iiit or restrict his cooperation
at the 17 October interview. Mr. Golitsyn reported that he
told Mr. Klein he had not been punished by the Agency in
any way and that his instructions before this interview, as
before, were to give his full cooperation to the HSCA.
