Mrs. Oswald. Yes; he told me that he was working on this map in connection with the bus schedules. He had a kind of bus schedule, and—a paper with bus schedules on it, and he was somehow comparing them or working on them, or doing something with these two documents.
The Chairman. Congressman Ford?
Representative Ford. When you left the Soviet Union, Lee borrowed money from the U.S. Government to pay for your transportation back to the United States. Did you have any other money of your own at that time?
Mrs. Oswald. We had—it is permissible to exchange a certain amount of Soviet rubles into American dollars in such cases, and we did exchange some Soviet rubles—I think about $180 worth—when we left. But that wasn't enough to pay the whole trip.
Representative Ford. Lee had borrowed from the Government approximately $600?
Mr. Rankin. $450, and then the exchange made a total of $600 and something.
Representative Ford. This $180 was used with the State Department money for the transportation and the funds for the trip?
Mrs. Oswald. I don't know, since my husband took care of that whole matter. He never talked about money with me.
Representative Ford. Would you describe one of the border crossings? What did the Government officials do when you went from Poland into Germany, for example? Tell us what actually happened.
Mrs. Oswald. The train stopped and people come in and check your documents.
