The CHAIRMAN. You have looked over all these, have you, Mr. Thorne, and
your client has identified them?
Mr. THORNE. Yes, sir.
The CHAIRMAN. They may be admitted.
(The documents referred to were marked Commission Exhibit Nos. 66
through 91, inclusive, and received in evidence.)
Mr. RANKIN. Mrs. Oswald, we will show you photostatic copies of various
writings of your husband. As you look at them, would you tell us what
each one is, insofar as you recognize them, please?
Mr. THORNE. This is Exhibit 92, which is a writing, a photocopy of a
writing.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you recognize that exhibit, Mrs. Oswald?
Mrs. OSWALD. Lee's handwriting. But I have never seen this. More
correctly, I have seen it, but I have never read it.
Mr. RANKIN. So you don't know what it purports to be, I take it.
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. That is, you do not?
Mrs. OSWALD. No.
Mr. RANKIN. But you do recognize his handwriting throughout?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. THORNE. May I point out to the Commission, please, this is in
English. This is handwritten in English and it is typewritten in
English.
Mr. RANKIN. We offer in evidence Exhibit 92.
The CHAIRMAN. It will be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 92, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. RANKIN. I should like to inform the Commission that Exhibit 92
purports to be the book that Lee Oswald wrote about conditions in the
Soviet Union.
The CHAIRMAN. The one that was dictated to the stenographer?
Mr. RANKIN. Yes, that is right.
Mr. REDLICH. He had had written notes, and she transcribed them.
Mr. THORNE. The next exhibit is Exhibit No. 93, many pages,
handwritten, in English.
Mr. RANKIN. Mrs. Oswald, will you tell us what that is, if you know.
Mrs. OSWALD. No, I don't know.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you know whether it is in the handwriting of your
husband?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, this is Lee's handwriting. These are all his papers.
I don't know about them. Everything is in English. I don't know.
Mr. RANKIN. We offer in evidence Exhibit 93.
The CHAIRMAN. Exhibit 93 may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 93, and

Mr. RANKIN. I should like to advise the Commission that this Exhibit
93 purports to be a résumé of his Marine Corps experience, and some
additional minor notes.
Mr. THORNE. Exhibit No. 94 is photocopies of many pages of handwriting,
which is in English.

Mr. RANKIN. We offer in evidence Exhibit 94.
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 94, and

about Russia, Exhibit 92, was typewritten.
