Such information is available at NARA when addressed as follows... Wesley G. Grapp, Harry Dean. A search of all NARA databases does not produce ANY references to Wesley Grapp. In addition, when the entire JFK assassination collection is searched by surnames -- Grapp's name does not appear.

Grapp aka James O'Connor FBI ?? https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/docid-32312899.pdf I posted all Harry's FBI and CIA files online years ago. I also posted the FBI personnel file on Wesley Grapp. As I previously pointed out, Harry Dean claims that he provided information to Wesley Grapp in Los Angeles during the summer of 1963 (September to be exact). However, Grapp was not even in California during 1963. He was Special Agent in Charge of the FBI-Miami field office until March 1964! ALSO: Grapp was in Washington DC for training classes during some of the periods when Harry Dean claims he was speaking to Grapp. In addition, NONE of the FBI files about the Birch Society (HQ or field office) mention Harry or anybody matching his description except the ONE reference in the Birch Society Los Angeles field file where an Assistant Director told a southern California newspaper editor that Harry's narrative was entirely false, i.e. Harry was never an FBI informant nor did he provide any service requested by the FBI. All Harry ever did is contact the FBI when HE thought he had some information that they might like to know -- just like hundreds of thousands of ordinary people do every year. All the FBI did with Harry's information (with one minor exception) is file it away without pursuing it further because they never considered Harry as a reliable source of information about much of anything. Harry Dean is NOT a credible witness to anything -- which explains why no reputable historian or academic publication has ever given his story any serious consideration. The Los Angeles FBI agent in charge of Cuban-related matters described Harry as a "mental case" - which also corresponds to a comment which Harry's wife made to one of their neighbors at one time. Incidentally, just FYI, after I obtained the FBI-Los Angeles and FBI-HQ files on Harry, I then used the "search slips" located in those files to make further FOIA requests. The FBI search slips list all references to a name which FBI "name check" employees could find in any FBI index. Altogether, I found about 30 cross-references on the field office and HQ search slips which referred to documents containing the name Harry Dean. Many of those documents turned out to be about some other person by the name of Harry Dean---including (for example) an attorney mentioned in some entirely different and unrelated file. The very few documents that were about Harry J. Dean merely repeated the information contained in the FBI-HQ and Los Angeles field files. In other words, they were duplicate references because (in most cases) a serial was placed in more than one file. Lastly, I also contacted about a dozen people who have well-known websites pertaining to the assassination of JFK. I asked the owners of those websites what THEY thought about Harry's story. Without exception, NONE of them believed Harry was credible and, in fact, when you check the books written about the JFK assassination during the past 15 years or so, nobody gives Harry's story any significant coverage---IF they mention him at all (which isn't often).
