Mrs. Oswald. Well, that is why I wanted to go into the story. I wouldn't have become emotionally upset had I started in sequence.
I told you about him not wanting me to see that program. And then the letters. There is so much. About him being an agent—all of his correspondence with the Embassy in Moscow. I have the letters in the hotel. One of the letters states that the Russians cannot hold you—"the Russians cannot hold you. You are an American citizen. You are not a bona fide Russian resident." We have the letters. You have a copy of the letter, Mr. Rankin.
And "if you will show this letter to the Russians, they cannot hold you in Minsk."
Mr. Rankin. They would say that about you if you were over there, or anyone.
Mrs. Oswald. The point I am trying to bring there is Lee has always been an American citizen—according to all of my papers from the State Department.
Mr. Rankin. Yes.
Mrs. Oswald. And they would say that about anyone—all right, I will grant you that. You are probably right.
Mr. Rankin. So that doesn't prove he is an agent, that I can see.
Now, how do you feel it shows he was an agent?
Mrs. Oswald. Because he has the sanction of the American Embassy all through this affair.
