United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. THORNE. Exhibit 129 purports to be some type of an official
document in Russian.
Mrs. OSWALD. That is my birth certificate.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you know why it was issued at that date, rather than
presumably the one that was issued when you were born?
Mrs. OSWALD. Because mine was lost somewhere, and it was reissued.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you have to go there to get it?
Mrs. OSWALD. No, simply write a letter.
Mr. RANKIN. And they mailed it to you?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. I offer that exhibit in evidence.
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 129, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. THORNE. Exhibit 130 seems to be an original instrument in Russian.
Mrs. OSWALD. This is a copy of a birth certificate which a notary
issues.
Mr. THORNE. Whose certificate?
Mrs. OSWALD. Mine.
Mr. RANKIN. I offer in evidence Exhibit 130.
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 130, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. THORNE. Exhibit 131 is a one-sheet document in Russian.
Mrs. OSWALD. The same thing.
Mr. RANKIN. Why did you have these other copies?
Mrs. OSWALD. These documents were needed for regularizing all the
documents in connection with the trip abroad.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you know why the date was rewritten from July 14 to July
19 on them?
Mrs. OSWALD. In which?
Mr. RANKIN. In the original.
Mrs. OSWALD. I didn't see that.
It says July 17, 1941. The certificate is issued July 19, 1961.
Mr. KRIMER. The transcript shows 17th of July 1941.
May I explain it, sir?
Mr. RANKIN. You explain it, Mr. Krimer, and then ask her if you are
explaining it correctly.
Mr. KRIMER. I have explained it correctly, and she says it is correct.
This states she was born on July 17, but that an entry was made in the
register about that on August 14, 1961. This accounts for the change in
the digit. And this was issued on July 19, 1941.
Mr. RANKIN. I offer that in evidence.
The CHAIRMAN. That will be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 131, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. THORNE. 132 is a two-sheet, eight-page letter with an envelope.
This is written in Russian.
Mrs. OSWALD. The envelope is from Sobolev, and the letter is from
Golovachev. I simply kept them together.
Mr. RANKIN. There is a reference in the last full paragraph of that
letter, Mrs. Oswald, where it said, "By the way, Marina, try to explain
to Paul that the basic idea of Pagodzin's play 'A man with a rifle' is
contained in words"--and then goes on. Do you know what was meant by
that?
It says "Now we do not have to fear a man with a rifle." Who is Paul?
