Mr. Coleman. Sir, in that memorandum on the second page you have a P.S., and you state that Priscilla J. told you that Oswald has been told he will be leaving the hotel at the end of this week.
Did Miss Johnson tell you that?
Mr. McVickar. I feel sure I wouldn't have written that if she hadn't.
Mr. Coleman. Do you know whether Oswald actually left the hotel the end of the week?
Mr. McVickar. I am not sure of the time that he left the hotel, but from what I gather from the record, that must have been about the time that he did leave the hotel and go to Minsk. As reflected in the other memorandum it was rather unclear exactly how long Oswald spent in Moscow, but I think that the record is approximately accurate here, and that this would have been about the time he would have left the hotel.
Mr. Coleman. According to other information which the Commission has, which happens to be Oswald's diary so we don't know how accurate it is, it is stated that he didn't leave Moscow until January 4, 1960.
Mr. McVickar. That is new to me.
Mr. Coleman. You had no such information?
Mr. McVickar. I had no such—this is the first time I heard that.
Mr. Dulles. He left the hotel, however, for a period, did he not? He was in the hospital for a period.
