Mr. Dulles.

Excuse me, has 294 been submitted?

Mr. Jenner.

I think it has not. May I offer in evidence as Commission Exhibit 294 the document that has been so identified.

Mr. Dulles.

Accepted.
(The document heretofore marked Commission Exhibit No. 294 was received in evidence.)

Mr. Jenner.

It being understood with Mr. McKenzie that we may introduce in evidence the photostatic copy in lieu of the original, the original having been produced before the Commission.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you speak, did you have any conversation with your brother upon his return from Russia respecting your dispatch of the telegram and his reaction to it?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I did not. I had more or less forgotten it myself.

Mr. Jenner.

There is a reference in your brother's letter of November 8 to his reluctance to engage in a telephone conversation. Had you attempted to reach him by telephone?

Mr. Oswald.

I had decided to try to reach him by telephone on Sunday, November 1, 1959. I did not.

Mr. Jenner.

You were unable to, you mean?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I did not. I placed the call and I received the New York operator, overseas operator, and there was some discussion as to what time it was in Moscow, and so forth, and I changed my mind and did not. However, I am aware that my mother tried and did for a moment have Lee on the telephone in Moscow.

Mr. Jenner.

At that time?

Mr. Oswald.

At approximately that same date.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you ever make any effort to reach him by telephone there--after?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I did not.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he reach you by telephone or attempt to do so as far as you know?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; not to my knowledge did he.

Mr. Jenner.

There is a reference in the letter of November 8 to his willingness to accept money from you if you would send any. Did you send him any money?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I did not. My reply to that was if he used it to come back I would gladly send it.

Mr. Jenner.

Your reply--did you write him a letter?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you have a copy of that letter?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I do not have a copy of any letter that I wrote to him.

Mr. Jenner.

You do not know the whereabouts of that letter?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I do not, other than to say that I asked Mrs. Marina Oswald if Lee kept any of my letters and her reply was that "No, he always threw them away."

Mr. Jenner.

In view of that, Mr. Oswald, would you please recite to the best of your recollection the contents of your letter in response to your brother's letter of November 8, 1959?

Mr. Oswald.

Sir, 1 do not remember anything other than that statement referring to the money request. I do not recall anything else in the letter.

Mr. Jenner.

You have heard Mr. McKenzie read that letter through. Did it refresh your recollection, or does it as to whether you made any comment upon his political statements in his letter to you of November 8?

Mr. Oswald.

I do not believe I did at any time make any statement in reference to his political statements that he made in the letter of November 8. Generally, my statements to the members of the press at the time was that I felt Lee was not aware of what he was doing. I believe I referred to him as a kid. And that he just generally didn't know what he was doing, and that was just about the general text of anything I had to say to the members of the press at that time.

Mr. Jenner.

There is an entry in your brother's diary of November 1,
