According to the information on the website page, it was uploaded on April 30, 2011. I'm not saying this is a real document nor that it is a forgery but it does have the right date and names on it.
The date is March 3, 1964.
Mr. Rowley served as director of the Secret Service from 1961 to 1973. (www.nytimes.com/1992/11/03/us/james-rowley-84-who-headed-secret-service-and-reorganized-it.html , en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Joseph_Rowley )
Mr. McCone headed the Atomic Energy Commission from 1958 to 1960 and the Central Intelligence Agency from 1961 to 1965, holding two of the most sensitive high positions in Washington.

In response to the request made by your office on 24 February 1964 re: Lee Oswald's activities and assignments on behalf of this agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, there follows a narrative summary of the internal subversive activities of the Oswald subject.
I recommend that unless the Commission makes a specific request for specific information contained herein, that this information not be volunteered. This agency has reason to assume that some junior Commission staff members may be potential sources of leaks to the news media or to other agencies; due to the highly sensitive nature of the enclosed material, it would certainly be in the national interest to withhold it at this time - unless there is, of course, a specific request made.

It is my understanding that Mr. Hoover has certain sensitive information within his agency, which has been transferred to his own personal files for safekeeping; he concurs that no material should be voluntarily given to the Commission which might affect the status of field operatives or their safety. He is particularly concerned with the De Bruey memorandum, which Central Intelligence has obtained and which, I understand, you have obtained. It is imperative that this information, at least for the time, remain under wraps.
Oswald subject was trained by this agency, under cover of the Office of Naval Intelligence, for Soviet assignments. During preliminary training, in 1957, subject was active in aerial reconnaissance of mainland China and maintained a security clearance up to the "confidential" level.His military records during this period are open to your agency and I have directed they be forwarded to the Commission.
Subject received additional indoctrination at our own Camp Peary site from September 8 to October 17, 1958, and participated in a few relatively minor assignments until arrangements were made for his entry into the Soviet Union in September 1959. While in the Soviet Union, he was on special assignment in the area of Minsk. It would not be advantageous at this time to divulge the specifics of that assignment; however, if you wish this information, it can (...)
So that explains why Oswald had his papers within 2 or 3 weeks without being questioned when he came back from the Soviet Union. Anybody else would have been questioned for hours or might have spent some time in jail at that point of the Cold War but since he was on the agencies payroll, he was cleared in a hurry.
Another thing that this Memo makes clear is that the agencies knew a lot more (if not everything) about the assassination but they tried, even this year, to withhold information from the public and from what is called the Commission in the document. The memo is dated March 3 1964. The Warren Commission report was given to Johnson in September 1964 (www.nytimes.com/1964/09/25/johnson-gets-assassination-report.html). So, despite all the other issues, true or not, that the Warren Commission critics may raise, it is now clear that the Commission never had access to all the information nor had the full collaboration of the agencies.
Sadly, those may be the only answers it provides, while it raises other questions.
At the beginning, McCone talks about "the internal subversive activities of the Oswald subject". Was his subversive side a good argument for the top brass to use him as a patsy in 1963 or was he already out by that time? But then, why did Oswald rushed to his house to grab a gun and went out in a blink of an eye? While he didn't seem to know all the details he did seem to know that something was going down. So, does that mean he was still an agent in 1963? In other words, was Oswald "simply" thrown under the bus by his employer?
Also, from the way he talks about it, McCone seem to give a lot of importance to the De Bruey memo. The Oswald infos seem sensitive but from the way it is said, that memo sounds like a bomb.
Does the name ring a bell to someone? I do not pretend to know a lot nor everything about the case but that name doesn't lead anywhere in my mind. Still, I'll try to see what I can find about it.
Well that's all I could come up with this morning.
Merry Christmas to all!
