Mr. Dulles. Thank you.

Mr. Jenner. So while he was in Russia, he wrote you considerably more often, at least after the first year, I guess it was, or nine months, than he had theretofore?

Mr. Oswald. No, sir. If I might there again refer to the letters from Russia received from Lee Harvey Oswald and placed in evidence before this Commission, when he notified us in 1959 that he was no longer going to write or contact us, and did not want us to contact him in any way, it was until April of 1961 before I heard from him again, which was, of course, a period of time after one year.

Mr. Jenner. Had you written him in the meantime?

Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I did not.

Mr. Jenner. Did you know where he was in the meantime—that is, any particular town or city in Russia?

Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I did not.

Mr. Dulles. And you had the impression that he did not want you to write to him at that time?

Mr. McKenzie. Mr. Dulles, he says that in the letters.

Mr. Jenner. Yes—one of these letters I am about to examine him about so states.
