Did the Office of Naval Intelligence investigate Oswald?

The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) is still seeking to block release of records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The ONI, according to researacher Bill Kelly, is withholding records of its own internal investigations of Oswald after he defected to the Soviet Union in 1959 and after JFK was killed in 1963. The latter reports would be explosive if they showed that U.S. Marine Corps investigators doubted that Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy.

ONI representatives assert that America’s oldest intelligence service doesn’t have any such records. That claim is dubious, for a number of reasons.

But the ARRB was stymied on one key group of records.
