Mr. Stern. Did you have any information apart from what you knew before he moved to New Orleans at that time?
Mr. Hosty. Well, I had learned before we had referred the case to New Orleans that he had been engaged in this Fair Play for Cuba Committee work down in New Orleans. They had told us that. We were aware that he was in contact with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee in New York. That was about all at this time.
Mr. Stern. You learned this from the New Orleans office?
Mr. Hosty. Right.
Mr. Stern. What next happened in your effort to locate him?
Mr. Hosty. I then received a communication on the 25th of October from the New Orleans office advising me that another agency had determined that Lee Oswald was in contact with the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City in the early part of October 1963.
Mr. Stern. Did they tell you anything else?
Mr. Hosty. No. Just very briefly that there had been a contact.
Mr. Stern. Did this increase your effort to find him?
Mr. Hosty. Very much so, yes. I became curious then. Shortly thereafter, on the 29th of October, I received another communication from the New Orleans office advising that they had a change of address for Lee and Marina Oswald to 2515 West Fifth Street, Irving, Tex.
