United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. OSWALD. The title of this document is shown here, "Information for
those who are departing for abroad. Personal data--name, last name,
date of birth, place of birth, height, color of eyes and hair, married
or not, and purpose of the trip."
Mr. RANKIN. What does it say about the purpose of the trip--do you
recall?
Mrs. OSWALD. Private exit.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you recall what members of your family are referred to
there under that question?
Mrs. OSWALD. It shows here "none." I think before this was filled
out--this was before June's birth.
Mr. RANKIN. That doesn't refer then to members of your family, like
your uncles or aunts, or anything like that?
Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. RANKIN. Mr. Chairman, I offer in evidence Exhibit 26.
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 26, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. RANKIN. Now, I hand you Exhibit 27 and ask you if you can recall
what that is.
Mrs. OSWALD. This is a questionnaire which has to be filled out prior
to departure for abroad.
Mr. RANKIN. I offer in evidence Exhibit 27.
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 27, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. RANKIN. Do you recall what relatives you referred to when they
asked for close relatives?
Mrs. OSWALD. It must be shown there. I don't remember. Probably my
uncle.
Mr. RANKIN. Mrs. Oswald, can you tell us the handwriting on this
exhibit, No. 27?
Mrs. OSWALD. This is my handwriting.
Mr. RANKIN. You say it is all your handwriting?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Now, can you tell us what Exhibit 28 is?
Mrs. OSWALD. That is the same thing. This was a draft.
Mr. RANKIN. You mean a rough draft?
Mrs. OSWALD. A rough draft of the same thing.
Mr. RANKIN. And the other one is the final?
Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know. Perhaps there were several drafts, I don't
know whether this is from the Embassy or from some other source. These
are drafts, because the original would have had to have my photograph.
Lee and I were playing.
Mr. RANKIN. Then, Mrs. Oswald, you think both Exhibit 27 and 28 are
drafts, since neither one has your photograph on them?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. We were playing dominoes, and this is the score.
Mr. RANKIN. I ask that Exhibit 28 be received in evidence, Mr. Chairman.
The CHAIRMAN. It will be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 28, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. RANKIN. I hand you Exhibit 29 and ask you if you can tell us what
that is?
Mrs. OSWALD. This is a residence permit, passport--a passport for
abroad. This is a foreign passport for Russians who go abroad.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you understand that you had six months in which to
leave under that passport?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. This all has to be filled out before you are allowed
to go abroad.
Mr. RANKIN. Whose handwriting is in Exhibit 29?
Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know who wrote that. It is not I. Officials who
issue the passport.
