Dear Chief:

I have received a request from Mr. J. Lee Rankin, General Counsel
for the President's Commission on the assassination of President
Kennedy, who makes a request in behalf of the Commission for infor-
mation from Texas as follows:
"It would be helpful to the work of this Commission if you
would obtain from the Cities of Fort Worth and Dallas,
for the Commission's review, copies of any documents it
has in its files relating to Lee Harvey Oswald. We are
particularly interested in obtaining Oswald's educational
files. In this connection, we are informed that Oswald
attended the following Texas schools: Riglio Elementary
School, Fort Worth, 1947 to 1952; Ridge West Elementary
School, Fort Worth; Arlington Heights Elementary School,
Fort Worth; Arlington Heights High School, Fort Worth,
September 5, 1956 to September 28, 1956; and Crozier
Tech High School, Dallas, January 14, 1963 to April 8,
1963.
In addition, the Commission would like to review any re-
lated psychiatric reports, any records maintained by the
Fort Worth or Dallas Police Departments and any other
information in any State or local agency's possession
which would assist the Commission in learning as much
as possible about the background of Oswald.
The Commission of course realizes the confidential char-
acter of much, if not all, of this information and hastens
to assure you that it and the members of its staff will be
accordingly governed in its use.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. "
