The Chairman. Proceed.
Mr. Hosty. Then, like I say, I made a judgment that it would be best not to interview Mrs. Oswald at this time until there was a certain cooling off of their domestic difficulty, because it is not wise to interview a person of that type under a strain.
So I set it up that I would go back and recheck in 45 days. This was not highly urgent at the time. We had waited a period of time, and it wouldn't hurt to wait another 45 days. When I went back to check again in May, the middle of May, I found out that they had moved from their Neely Street address and had left no forwarding address.
Mr. Stern. Stop there and let's go back and cover a few details.
Mr. Hosty. All right, sir.
Mr. Stern. Your recommendation to reopen the case of Lee Harvey Oswald was made at the end of March 1963?
Mr. Hosty. Right; I believe the letter would be dated March 31.
Mr. Stern. Was your recommendation accepted?
Mr. Hosty. Yes; and it was reopened.
Mr. Stern. With respect to the pending inactive investigation of Marina Oswald, had any work been done previous to the time when you thought about interviewing her?
