And the telegram to Lee Harvey Oswald, I asked him to contact me through any means available. I did use the word "mistake."
Mr. Jenner. Would you please give me your best recollection of the message, as you recall it, that you dispatched or ordered dispatched?
Mr. Oswald. My best recollection of that is I sent the telegram to Lee Harvey Oswald care of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, Russia, requesting Lee to contact me through any means available, and the one word "mistake. Keep your nose clean," signed "Robert L. Oswald, 7313 Davenport."
Mr. Jenner. The word "mistake" was by itself?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; that is correct. The phrase of "keep your nose clean," is something we have said to each other since knee high, so he would know that I did send the telegram.
Mr. Jenner. Did you receive a response to that telegram?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I did not receive a response to either one of the telegrams.
Mr. Jenner. Neither from the State Department, Mr. Herter, nor an assistant on that telegram, nor from your brother Lee on his telegram?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Other than the letter of November 8, 1959, now identified as Commission Exhibit No. 294?
