Representative Ford. Did the Central Intelligence Agency have any personal contact with Oswald subsequent to his return to the United States?
Mr. McCone. No.
Mr. Rankin. Mr. McCone, your Agency made a particular investigation in connection with any allegations about a conspiracy involving the Soviet Union or people connected with Cuba, did you not?
Mr. McCone. Yes, we did. We made a thorough, a very thorough, investigation of information that came to us concerning an alleged trip that Oswald made to Mexico City during which time he made contact with the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City in an attempt to gain transit privileges from Mexico City to the Soviet Union via Havana. We investigated that thoroughly.
Mr. Rankin. Do you also include in your statement that you found no evidence of conspiracy in all of that investigation?
Mr. McCone. That is correct.
Mr. Rankin. And also the investigation you made of the period that Lee Harvey Oswald was in the Soviet Union?
Mr. McCone. That is right.
Mr. Rankin. Mr. McCone——
Mr. Dulles. Could I ask one question there? Does your answer, Mr. McCone, include a negation of any belief that Oswald was working for or on behalf of the Soviet Union at any time when you were in contact with him or knew about his activities?
