Do you know why he would say anything like that to the Embassy?
Mrs. Oswald. Because he was crazy.
He wrote this in order to emphasize his importance. He was no secretary of any—he was not a secretary of any organization.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know that he had received any inquiry from the Embassy or anyone of the Soviet Union about the matters that he is telling about here?
Mrs. Oswald. No. I don't know.
Mr. Rankin. Then he goes on to say, "However, the FBI has visited us here in Dallas, Texas, on November 1. Agent James P. Hosty"—do you know whether there was such a visit by that man?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. And was he referring to the man that you know as James P. Hosty?
Mrs. Oswald. I don't know his last name. He gave us his telephone number, but it seems to me that his name was different.
Mr. Rankin. After you received the telephone number, what did you do with it?
