(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 202 and received in evidence.)
Mrs. Oswald. I have followed up that request and sent the $20 bill in an envelope. And I have all of this. But I am not going to go through all this paper. You will have all of this.
Mr. Dulles. Did that get through—just as a matter of curiosity.
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, that is what I am going to tell you. So I put a $20 bill immediately in an envelope and sent it to Lee. And then after I thought about it, I thought of a foreign money order. And gentlemen I have all this in black and white for you, and this gentleman will copy and have it—everything I am saying. So then I went to the bank and I got a foreign money order for $25, and I sent it to Lee. It all went air mail. But it came back about 2 months later, Mr. Dulles—the $20 bill I got back in cash and the Chase National Bank foreign money order, that check came back in cash. I will have that proof for you. I understand it comes back by boat, and that is why it took so long.
So I had no way of knowing that my contact with my son was successful. I didn't know until about 2 months later he had not received my money. And by that time—well, I didn't know where he was, because I came to Washington in January of 1961, had a conference with Mr. Boster—Mr. Stanfield——
Mr. Rankin. Did you think he was a Russian agent at this time?
Mrs. Oswald. No, sir; I did not think he was a Russian agent.
Representative Ford. I thought you answered in response to a question I asked, when you thought he was an agent, you said when he defected.
Mrs. Oswald. I might have said defected to Russia. No, sir; I never thought Lee was a Russian agent.
Representative Ford. I meant an agent of the United States. It is my recollection that you said when he defected to the Soviet Union, you then thought he was an American agent.
