United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
I will call your attention to the photostats of the declaration and
the accompanying papers that I shall now call Exhibit 8 to replace the
references to Exhibit 8 and 9 that we made in prior testimony, and ask
you to examine that and see if they were sent together by you to the
Embassy.
Mrs. OSWALD. I sent this after I received an answer from the Embassy,
an answer to my first letter. This is one and the same. Two separate
photostats of the same declaration. All of these documents were
attached to my second letter after the answer to my first.
Mr. RANKIN. I call your attention to Exhibit 9, and ask you if that is
the answer to your first letter that you have just referred to.
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, this is the answer to that letter.
Mr. RANKIN. Will you compare the translation?
Mrs. OSWALD. The only thing is that the address and the telephone
number of the Embassy are not shown in the Russian original. They are
in the translation.
Mr. RANKIN. Otherwise the translation is correct, is it?
Mrs. OSWALD. Otherwise, yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Mr. Chairman, I ask leave to substitute the Exhibit No. 8
for what I have called 9, as the reply of the Embassy, so that we won't
be confused about the order of these.
The CHAIRMAN. The correction may be made.
Mr. RANKIN. I offer in evidence the original and the translation of
Exhibit 8, except for the address of the Embassy, which was not on the
original.
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted, and take the next number.
(The documents referred to were marked Commission Exhibit No. 8, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. RANKIN. Now, as I understand, what I will call Exhibit 9 now, to
correct the order in which these letters were sent to the Embassy,
was your response to the letter of the Embassy dated March 8, is that
correct?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, sir.
Mr. RANKIN. Will you compare the translation with the interpreter and
advise us if it is correct?
Mr. KRIMER. It says, "Application" in the translation; the Russian word
is "Declaration".
Mr. RANKIN. Will you note that correction, Mr. Krimer, please?
Mr. KRIMER. In pencil?
Mr. RANKIN. Yes.
Mr. KRIMER. Crossing out the word "application".
Mrs. OSWALD. That is correct.
Mr. KRIMER. Sir, this was a printed questionnaire, and there is a
translator note on here which states that since printed questions are
given both in Russian and English translation, only the answer portion
of the document is being translated.
Mrs. OSWALD. That is correct.
Mr. RANKIN. You have now examined Exhibit 9 and the translation into
English from that exhibit where it was in Russian and compared them
with the interpreter, have you?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, correct.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you find the translation is correct?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. I offer in evidence Exhibit 9, being the Russian
communications, and the English translations.
The CHAIRMAN. The documents may be admitted with the next number.
(The documents referred to were marked Commission Exhibit No. 9, and
received in evidence.)
