Mrs. Oswald. Excuse me——
*The only instance I recall—when we filed an application for our returning to the United States, he visited some colonel, some Soviet colonel, Aksenov [spelling] A-k-s-e-n-o-v, in order to expedite the exit visas for us. I also visited this Colonel Aksenov.
Mrs. Oswald. I'm sorry——
*Correction. He never got to see Colonel Aksenov because when he went to discuss this question in the—whatever office that was—he talked to some junior officer, and they would not let him have an audience with the colonel.
Senator Russell. Did you go to see the colonel likewise?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Senator Russell. You were both there together?
*Mrs. Oswald. We never got to see him. I saw Colonel Aksenov later on.
Senator Russell. Was he a colonel in the army or in the militia or in the police or just what? Where did he get his rank?*
*Mrs. Oswald. He was a colonel in the MVD, which is the Administer of Internal Affairs.
