Mrs. Oswald. It can't possibly be the 7th of December 1964 because it hasn't even come yet.
Mr. Rankin. You might wish to examine the envelope, Exhibit No. 991, that may help you as to the correct date.
Mrs. Oswald. January 8. I wrote this January 7. It was just my mistake. I wrote it on January 7 and mailed it on the 8th. I just out of habit still writing December.
Mr. McKenzie. Mr. Rankin, may I ask the Commission, on Commission Exhibit No. 988, which purports to be a translation of Mrs. Oswald's letter to the Dallas Civil Liberties Union, do you know who translated this letter or could you tell us who translated the letter?
Mr. Rankin. Mr. McKenzie——
Mrs. Oswald. They wrote me that I can answer them in Russian, and which I did but I haven't any idea who translated my answer.
Mr. Rankin. The Commission Exhibit No. 987 which I will now offer states that the translation was handled by Mrs. Ford and later seen by Mrs. Paine.
The translation of the exhibit that you now have in your hand, what is the number of that?
Mr. McKenzie. This is Commission Exhibit No. 988 in English which purports to be a translation of Mrs. Oswald's letter to the Dallas Civil Liberties Union and I am asking does the Commission know who translated the letter?
Mr. Rankin. We were informed by the Dallas Civil Liberties Union in Exhibit No. 987 that the translation was made by Mrs. Ford and later seen by Mrs. Paine, and I now offer all exhibits together with Exhibit No. 987 as part of the testimony of this witness.
