Mrs. Oswald. Why did the Embassy in Washington have to notify the Embassy in Mexico City that Lee Oswald was arriving?
It is not that I am asking. It seems to me that this is not a normal thing.
Mr. Rankin. The question is did he say anything to you about it when he got back?
Mrs. Oswald. He said that when he went to the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City they had promised him that they would write a letter to the Embassy in Washington.
Please excuse me, but it is very difficult for me to read the involved thoughts of Lee.
I think that he was confused himself, and I certainly am.
Mr. Rankin. Is that all that you can recall that was said about that matter?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. Then he goes on to say——
Mrs. Oswald. Excuse me. I only know that his basic desire was to get to Cuba by any means, and that all the rest of it was window dressing for that purpose.
