Mr. Doyle. You are referring to 227?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes. And it should have with it a card, a postcard, from Lee.
Mr. Doyle. Set 227 aside with 221.
Mr. Rankin. Do you have a copy of 221?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. Will you please check to see that is a correct copy.
Mr. Chairman, I think that we might gain time now if we would check these exhibits out with Mrs. Oswald, and be able to offer them at whatever time we reconvene. That is all we propose to do now.
The Chairman. All right.
Mrs. Oswald. This is the card that should have gone with that.
Mr. Rankin. Mrs. Oswald, were you able to find your copy of Exhibit 221, and compare it and see whether that which is marked on is on your copy?
Mrs. Oswald. No sir, we have not found that yet.
"Yours 11th" is scratched out.
Mr. Rankin. So that 221 is correct, but apparently there are some errors——
Mrs. Oswald. There are more errors, too. Because it doesn't say "Services Department of State."
Mr. Doyle. 221 does not appear to be a photostat of the exhibit.
Mr. Rankin. But it does have exactly the same material on it, doesn't it?
Mrs. Oswald. It doesn't have this—"collect." I would not say it was an exact copy.
Mr. Doyle. It appears to have substantially the information on it. It is not a photostat of it.
Mr. Rankin. I might advise you, Mrs. Oswald, this is from the State Department's file, from which the telegram was made up that was sent to you.
Mr. Doyle. It is not a photostat, but it does have substantially the information that is set forth in the telegram itself.
Mr. Rankin. Now, you have examined all of the exhibits, 206 through 227, both inclusive, and found them, except for what you and your counsel said about exhibit 221, and the card that was with 227, to be correct.
Mrs. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Rankin. We offer in evidence Exhibits 206 through 227, both inclusive.
The Chairman. They may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibit Nos. 206 through 227, heretofore marked for identification, were received in evidence.)
Mrs. Oswald. This is the card that goes with this letter, as an explanation.
(The card referred to was marked Exhibit No. 240 for identification.)
Mr. Rankin. Exhibit 240 is the card you have just referred to that goes with Exhibit 227, is that right?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin. We offer in evidence Exhibit 240, and ask that a copy be substituted.
The Chairman. That may be admitted.
(The card referred to was received in evidence as Commission Exhibit No. 240.)
Mr. Rankin. Mrs. Oswald, would you examine exhibits 228 through 236, both inclusive? And tell us whether or not those appear to be photostatic copies of correspondence about the Albert Schweitzer College and application?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, that is right. That is right. This is correct. That is right. That is right. That is right. That is right. That is right. That is right. That is right. That is right. That is right.
Those are all right, sir.
Mr. Rankin. You have just finished comparing Exhibits 228 through 236 both inclusive, and found them to be correct photostatic copies of your files concerning the Albert Schweitzer matter?
Mrs. Oswald. That is right.
Mr. Rankin. We offer in evidence, Exhibits 228 through 236 both inclusive.
The Chairman. They may be admitted.
(The photostatic copies referred to were received in evidence as Commission Exhibit Nos. 228 through 236, inclusive.)
The Chairman. Have you introduced all the records you have now?
Mr. Rankin. Just a few more, Mr. Chairman.
(The document referred to was marked 241 for identification.)
Mr. Rankin. Mrs. Oswald, I hand you Exhibit 241 and ask you if that is one of the letters that you referred to in your testimony?
Mrs. Oswald. That is right.
Mr. Rankin. And it is one that you received?
Mrs. Oswald. It is one that I received in a letter from Russia, from Lee. And you have the letter, telling me to go to the International Rescue Committee, and to show the papers to the Red Cross in Vernon. This is the letter inclosed in that letter.
Mr. Rankin. We offer in evidence Exhibit 241, and ask leave to substitute a copy.
The Chairman. It may be admitted.
(The letter referred to was received in evidence as Commission Exhibit No. 241.)
(Documents marked 242 and 243 for identification.)
Mr. Rankin. Exhibits 242 and 243 are the telegram and the letter you received back from your transmission to the White House that you have testified about this morning, is that right?
Mrs. Oswald. That is right.
Mr. Rankin. And you say you would like to have the originals back?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin. We offer in evidence Exhibits 242 and 243 and ask leave to substitute copies.
The Chairman. It may be admitted on that condition.
(Commission Exhibits Nos. 242 and 243 were admitted in evidence.)
The Chairman. Are all the records identified now and admitted, Mr. Rankin?
Mr. Rankin. Mr. Chairman, we have one further matter, and that is some correspondence that involves her son's communications with the Embassy, which correspondence was examined in the presence of Mr. Mark Lane when we were taking photostatic copies. And during that examination, Mrs. Oswald was able to identify the handwriting on part of them, and not able to identify it on another part. Is that right, Mrs. Oswald?
Mrs. Oswald. That is right; yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin. And we think we should probably, to cover that matter, ask her briefly to point those out.
The Chairman. Very well. Let's get that done before we adjourn, and then we will adjourn for lunch.
Mr.
