Mrs. OSWALD. Well, aren't you gentlemen--I have a letter from you, Mr. Rankin. Aren't you gentlemen interested in my son's life from the very beginning? I think you should, because it has been exploited in all the magazines and papers. And this is not my son is what I am trying to say. He is not a perfect boy, and I am not a perfect woman. But I can show a different side of Lee Harvey Oswald, which I hope to do to this Commission. Mr. RANKIN. Well, I plan to ask you about his early life and these other parts. But I thought it would be helpful if you would be willing to do it to tell the Commission, while Mr. Dulles is here, what you base this claim upon that your son was an agent of the Government. Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, and I would be happy to do it. Mr. RANKIN. If you have to go to when he was 16 years old as the first point, that will be fine. But if you could cover that--then we will go on to the other things. Mrs. OSWALD. All right. I have your word that you will let me have my life story from early childhood and Lee's life story from early childhood. Now, I will start from age 16. Is that satisfactory? Mr. RANKIN. Would you do that? Mrs. OSWALD. Thank you very much. We were in New Orleans, La., at this particular time. On or about October 5th or 7th--and you have this, gentlemen, as my proof, that I am telling a true story, and I will have witnesses that will be called--is a letter---- Mr. DULLES. What year, Mrs. Oswald? Mrs. OSWALD. I said 1959--I am sorry. 1955. No, wait now. 1956--when we left New Orleans is 1956. Am I not correct? I am a little excited now, because of what happened before. The note---- Mr. RANKIN. He joined the Marines in 1956. Does that help you? Mrs. OSWALD. No, sir. Wait. We have a note from the Beauregard School by me that I was going to San Diego. Do you have the note? Mr. RANKIN. We do. Mrs. OSWALD. May I see that note, please? And that is approximately October 5th or the 7th, I think it is, 1955. Mr. DULLES. I think you moved to Fort Worth with Lee in September 1956. Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, sir. So it was in '55. I think that is correct. Let me see. Mr. RANKIN. We are handing you this book that we received from the State of Louisiana that is Commission's Exhibit No. 365, and turn to page 11 and you will find the note you referred to. Mrs. OSWALD. To the school. All right, gentlemen, this is a surprise. This is my note, isn't, to the school, that I am moving to San Diego. And it has been blasted in all the papers how I moved around, and I was going to San Diego. Gentlemen, I had nothing to do with this note, nothing whatsoever. Lee, my son, wrote the note--on or about October 5th or the 7th--October 7th. And now comes the story why he wrote the note. If you will see here, this is Lee's handwriting, to the letters. Mr. RANKIN. We offer in evidence that note on page 11. (The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 199, and received in evidence.)
