Report of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
The Cuban Government was asked to document and confirm the essentials
of Senora Duran’s testimony. Its response, which has been included
in its entirety in this Report, included a summary statement of
Oswald’s activities at the Cuban Embassy;[C6-546] a photograph of the
application for a visa he completed there,[C6-547] and a photograph
of the communication from Havana rejecting the application unless he
could first present a Soviet visa.[C6-548] (See Commission Exhibit No.
2564, p. 306.) The information on these documents concerning Oswald’s
date of birth, American passport number and activities and statements
at the Embassy is consistent with other information available to the
Commission.[C6-549] CIA experts have given their opinion that the
handwriting on the visa application which purports to be Oswald’s
is in fact his and that, although the handwritten notations on
the bottom of the document are too brief and faint to permit a
conclusive determination, they are probably Senora Duran’s.[C6-550]
The clothes which Oswald was wearing in the photograph which appears
on the application appear to be the same as some of those found
among his effects after the assassination, and the photograph itself
appears to be from the same negative as a photograph found among his
effects.[C6-551] Nothing on any of the documents raises a suspicion
that they might not be authentic.
By far the most important confirmation of Senora Duran’s testimony,
however, has been supplied by confidential sources of extremely high
reliability available to the United States in Mexico. The information
from these sources establishes that her testimony was truthful and
accurate in all material respects. The identities of these sources
cannot be disclosed without destroying their future usefulness to the
United States.
