Mr. Stern. Let me ask you, first, Mr. Fain, about a couple of symbols that appear on the first page of the report. The report is characterized as "Internal Security R." What does the "R" mean?
Mr. Fain. It stands for "Russia."
Mr. Stern. At the end of the synopsis on the first page are the letters "RUC." Can you tell us what that means?
Mr. Fain. That is a symbol to save typing and stenographic effort and so forth. It is known to all agents, and it means "Referred Upon Completion," "RUC," "Referred Upon Completion," to the office of origin actually. In other words, it indicates that the investigation there at that point where it was conducted has been completed and we are referring it back.
Mr. Stern. To an office which had prime responsibility?
Mr. Fain. Yes, sir; in this case I suppose it was the Bureau in Washington. I see the Bureau file number up there at the top.
Mr. Stern. I see. Do you recall, Mr. Fain, how you were assigned to investigate this matter which is entitled in this report "Funds Transmitted to Resident of Russia"?
Mr. Fain. Yes, sir.
We received a communication, or rather the Dallas office did, from Bureau to the effect that there was an indication that application had been made by Mrs. Oswald, Marguerite C. Oswald, for a draft, purchase transfer of funds, to be sent to Lee Harvey Oswald over in Russia, and I was given the assignment to contact her and find out all I could about the circumstances.
Mr. Stern. Concerning the transfer of funds?
