There is a good article on Early U.S. Recon Satellites in the October 2011 issue of Milsat Magazine http://www.milsatmagazine.com/2011/MSM_Oct_2011.pdf

It mentions Oscar-1 as a hitchhiker onboard Discoverr -36.

Lance Ginner K6GSJ talked about this in his Keynote address during the last AMSAT Symposium.
