Mr. Rankin. I would like to assign, Mr. Chief Justice, Commission Exhibit No. 986, if I may, to those prior communications from the files of the Soviet Embassy in Washington that were furnished to us by the State Department.
The Chairman. They may be admitted under that number.

Mr. Rankin. Commission Exhibit No. 986 will be the copies of the records from the Soviet Embassy in Washington that were supplied to the Commission earlier by the State Department as a part of the records that were furnished to us by the State Department.
The Chairman. Those were the ones that were voluntarily offered by the Russians before any request was made of them?
Mr. Rankin. Yes, Mr. Chairman.
The Chairman. They may be admitted under that number.
Mr. Rankin. Mr. Secretary, will you tell us whether you know of any credible evidence to show or establish or tending to show any conspiracy either domestic or foreign involved in the assassination of President Kennedy?
Secretary Rusk. No; I have no evidence that would point in that direction or to lead me to a conclusion that such a conspiracy existed.
