provided weapons to Klein’ s Sporting Goods— the Chicago mail-order business from which Oswald purchased the Carcano rifle he allegedly used to fire upon Kennedy. The passage also states that on Nov. 23, 1963— the day after Kennedy was killed— Underhill fled Washington, D. C., for a friend’ s house in New Jersey.“ Late in the evening he showed up … He was very agitated,” the copy reads.“ A small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination, he confided, and he was afraid for his life and probably would have to leave the country.” Underhill died in his Washington, D. C., home— nearly six months after Kennedy perished. He was shot behind the ear in what the coroner controversially ruled a suicide. Sources say that Jim Garrison— the crusading New Orleans District Attorney who unsuccessfully brought CIA associate Clay Shaw to trial for Kennedy’ s murder— later told a journalist that Underhill had“ valuable” intel on JFK’ s death and he had wanted to interview him! Moles say the documents contain other tantalizing clues. For example, a November 1991 memo from a CIA official states that he spoke with an American professor with a pal who worked for the KGB, the Soviet Union’ s main security agency.

The U. S. spook states the friend,“ Slava” Nikonov, had reviewed“ five thick volumes,” noting how Russian spies“ watched” Oswald“ closely and constantly while he was in the USSR,” and that Soviet intelligence judged him a“ poor shot” after he undertook target practice! As The ENQUIRER previously reported, former U. S. Marine Oswald was recruited by Soviet spies during his posting as a radar man in Japan— and later defected to the communist country in October 1959, only to return to the U. S. nearly three years later. Other noteworthy nuggets in the previously classified collection include:

■ A mysterious 1978 letter mailed to the British Embassy in Washington, D. C., from a person with a California address who called himself Sergyj Czornonoh. The writer claimed that while

he had been detained at a London airport by immigration officials on July 18, 1963— four months before JFK’ s death— he warned lawmen that Oswald was going to kill the president!

■ A document from the House Select Committee on Assassinations describing how an audio analysis of Dallas police channels from Nov. 22, 1963, determined that four shots were fired at Kennedy— one more than cops claimed Oswald had squeezed off!

■ A 1971 CIA file revealing that Oswald met with Valeriy Vladimirovich Kostikov— the KGB agent in charge of sabotage and assassinations in the Western Hemisphere— at the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City in 1963. Yet, the document asserts the meeting was solely for the purpose of Oswald obtaining a Soviet visa. Sources say the cache could alter the way Americans view JFK’ s death, but certain essential files are still missing( see sidebar right). Meanwhile, Florida Rep.
