Mr. McKenzie. Thank you, Mr. Chief Justice.

We have brought with us the original copies of various letters received from—dating from 1959 through 1962, from Lee Harvey Oswald to Robert L. Oswald, together with some copies of a contract between Mr. Oswald—Robert Oswald, Marina Oswald, John Thorne, and James Martin. We bring those voluntarily and gladly. I would like to give them to the Commission with the understanding and stipulation that they will not be released to the press or to any news media, with the exception and understanding of your final report.

The Chairman. That is the only purpose we would have in having them, and we will not release them to the press or to any other person.

Mr. McKenzie. I understand that, sir. And the only reason I make that stipulation is for the record.

The Chairman. Yes. With the understanding that the Commission will use it for any purpose that is within the scope of the Executive order.

Mr. McKenzie. Absolutely.

The Chairman. And for no other purpose.

Mr. McKenzie. Absolutely.

The Chairman. Do you want to keep the originals and have copies made for us, or do you want to leave the originals with us?

Mr. McKenzie. Well, sir, we have already started making the copies this morning.
