If they deny any knowledge of Oswald throughout his odd career as having worked for them or ONI or when he was in the old USSR , then why would they have any files related to this man. Is the CIA supposed not to get its self involved in internal American affairs. It always strikes me as guilt by association , this man was involved with you therefore you have case files on him.
They do have files on him, Alan - many have been declassified - and the CIA has always been involved in domestic affairs (despite its charter, which was changed after 9/11 to make it legal). In any case, the Mexico City event and Oswald's defection were perfectly appropriate (foreign) areas for the CIA to be involved in. Lee and Marina should both have been debriefed by the CIA when they came back from the USSR - Marina in particular should have been a prime source of information (especially since her uncle was involved in Soviet intelligence).
