Mrs. Oswald.

What regulations--what are the regulations?

Mr. Rankin.

I am trying to find out from you.

Mrs. Oswald.

I don't know about that. I don't know what happened.

Mr. Rankin.

Did he ever say what regulations he thought were breached, or that the Cuban Embassy didn't

carry out regulations when he returned from his trip and told you about what happened there?

Mrs. Oswald.

I don't know.

Mr. Rankin.

Then he goes on to say in the Exhibit, "I am glad he has since been replaced."
Do you know whom he was referring to?

Mrs. Oswald.

I have no knowledge of it. I think that if the person to whom this letter was addressed would
read the letter he wouldn't understand anything, either.

Mr. Rankin.

Your husband goes on in Exhibit 15 to say, "The Federal Bureau of Investigation is not now

interested in my activities in the progressive organization 'Fair Play for Cuba Committee' of which I was
secretary in New Orleans (State of Louisiana) since I no longer reside in that state." Do you know why he
would say anything like that to the Embassy?

Mrs. Oswald.

Because-he was crazy.
He wrote this in order to emphasize his importance. He was no secretary of any--he was not a secretary of any
organization.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you know that he had received any inquiry from the Embassy or anyone of the Soviet Union about the matters that he is telling about here?

Mrs. Oswald.

No. I don't know.

Mr. Rankin.

Then he goes on to say, "However, the FBI has visited us here in Dallas, Texas, on November 1. Agent James P. Hosty"--do you know whether there was such a visit by that man?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Rankin.

And was he referring to the man that you know as James P. Hosty?

Mrs. Oswald.

I don't know his last name. He gave us his telephone number, but it seems to me that his name was different.

Mr. Rankin.

After you received the telephone number, what did you do with it?

Mrs. Oswald.

He gave the telephone number to Ruth, and she, in turn, passed it on to Lee.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you know whether he put it in a book or did anything with it?

Mrs. Oswald.

He took the note with him to Dallas. I don't know what he did with it.

Mr. Rankin.

Did the agent also give his license number for his car to Mrs. Paine or to you or to your husband?

Mrs. Oswald.

No. But Lee had asked me that if an FBI agent were to call, that I note down his automobile license number, and I did that.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you give the license number to him when you noted it down?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Rankin.

Now, he goes on to say that this agent, James P. Hosty "warned me that if I engaged in FPCC activities in Texas the FBI will again take an 'interest' in me."
Do you remember anything about anything like that?

Mrs. Oswald.

I don't know why he said that in there, because if he has in mind the man who visited us, that man had never seen Lee. He was talking to me and to Mrs. Paine. But he had never met Lee. Perhaps this is another agent, not the one who visited us.
But I don't know whether Lee had talked to him or not.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you know whether any FBI agent had ever warned your husband that if he engaged in any Fair Play for Cuba activities in Texas, the FBI would be again interested in him?

Mrs. Oswald.

No, I didn't know that.

Mr. Rankin.

Then in the exhibit he goes on to say, "This agent also 'suggested' to Marina Nichilyeva that she could remain in the United States under FBI protection."
