      Mr. Jenner. Would you make that change, please, in ink.

      Mr. McKenzie. That is Exhibit No. 320.

      Mr. Jenner. Commission Exhibit No. 320, a letter of one page, the original dated November 17th. What year?

      Mr. McKenzie. Just November 17th. But the postmark shows it was dated November 18, 1962.

      Mr. Jenner. Exhibit No. 321 is a postcard dated April 10, 1962.

      Mr. Oswald. To which you have previously referred.

      Mr. Jenner. Have we got a duplication?

      Mr. McKenzie. Yes, sir.

      Mr. Jenner. Are Exhibits 319 and 321 duplicates?

      Mr. McKenzie. I would have to look at the exhibit. I have the original here in front of me.

      Mr. Jenner. They are different exhibits.

      Mr. McKenzie. This is Exhibit 321.

      The other one is this one you have here, and it is dated October 10, 1962.

      Mr. Jenner. All right. To make sure the record is clear, Mr. Chairman—Exhibit No. 319, which is a postcard, is cancelled on its face at Dallas on the 10th day of October 1962, and it reads on the other side, "Dear Robert, for the new address you can write to Box 2915, Dallas, Texas. Also please stop by the house and collect any mail which may have come in before the post office had a chance to change my address to Dallas." And then in the center of the card "Lee", with two X marks. Is that correct?

      Mr. McKenzie. That is correct.

      Mr. Jenner. Now, that is Exhibit 319.

      Now, Exhibit 321——

      Mr. Dulles. Let me see. I would like to straighten that out.

      Off the record.

      (Discussion off the record.)

      Mr. Dulles. Back on the record.

      Mr. Jenner. Exhibit No. 321 is the postcard dated April 10, 1962.

      Mr. McKenzie. That is correct.

      Mr. Jenner. I might say, Mr. Chairman, I had marked the exhibits correctly.

      Mr. McKenzie. And I concur in that remark.

      Mr. Jenner. Exhibit No. 322 is a letter of two pages dated March 17, 1963.

      Mr. McKenzie. Dated March 16, 1963. It is postmarked the 17th, but dated March 16, 1963.

      Mr. Jenner. Mr. Chairman, I offer in evidence as Commission Exhibits, Exhibits 295 through 322, both inclusive, the documents that have been marked with the exhibit numbers so indicated, including the sub-exhibit numbers on the photographs which have been heretofore identified.

      Mr. Dulles. They may be received.

      (The documents referred to were marked Commission Exhibits 295 through 322, inclusive, and received in evidence.)

      Mr. McKenzie. Mr. Jenner, if I may, I would like to say something for the purpose of the record.

      Robert Oswald has brought these exhibits voluntarily. They are at the Commission's convenience at any time. We do not know whether or not they have been censored in Russia, but we are confident that they were, because some of the letters refer to the censor in Russia.

      Mr. Jenner. That will appear, Mr. Chairman, from the photostats of the exhibits as offered in evidence.

      Mr. Dulles. Thank you very much, Mr. McKenzie.

      Mr. McKenzie. Yes, sir.

      Mr. Jenner. Now, Mr. McKenzie, among the original postcards and letters which you produced for us is a postcard dated January 13——

      Mr. McKenzie. January 10th.

      Mr. Jenner. January 10, 1963. And may I have that, please?

      Mr. McKenzie. Yes, sir; you may.

      Mr. Jenner. That will be marked as Commission Exhibit No. 324.

      (The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 324 for identification.)

      Mr. Jenner. Does the witness have the original before him?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.

      Mr. Jenner. Examining Commission Exhibit No. 324, which purports to be a postcard, it is in fact a postcard, is it not?

      Mr. Oswald. That is correct.

      Mr. Jenner. And do you recognize the handwriting on the face and reverse side of that postcard?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, I do.

      Mr. Jenner. Whose handwriting is it?

      Mr. Oswald. Lee Harvey Oswald's.

      Mr. Jenner. Did you receive that postcard in due course or about the cancellation date appearing on the face of the card?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I did.

      Mr. Jenner. And that cancellation date is January 13, 1963, is it not?

      Mr. Oswald. No, sir; that is not correct. It is January 10, 1963.

      Mr. Jenner. This photostat makes a 10 look like a 13.

      This postcard was written to you, sent to you by your brother, Lee Harvey Oswald, thanking you for a Christmas gift, was it not?

      Mr. Oswald. That is correct.

      Mr. Jenner. And is the postcard in the same condition now as it was when you received it?

      Mr. Oswald. Exactly, sir.

      Mr. Jenner. Mr. Chairman, I offer in evidence as Commission Exhibit No. 324 the document which we have so marked.

      Mr. Dulles. It may be received.

      (The document heretofore marked for identification as Commission Exhibit No. 324 was received in evidence.)

      Mr. Jenner. We will return, Mr. Oswald, to the period about which inquiries were made of you by Representative Ford and Representative Boggs yesterday. That is, you had testified, as you will recall, of efforts on the part of your mother to reach your brother by telephone in Russia when news reached America of his alleged defection. I am merely seeking to orient you at the moment.

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir. Thank you.

      Mr. Jenner. In due course, you received a letter communication from him, did you not?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I did.

      Mr. Jenner. Including the letter of November 8, 1959, about which I questioned you yesterday.

      Now, I wish to proceed to the next letter, which is the letter of November
