Mr. Johnson. I did.

Mr. Rankin. Did you send it on or about the date it bears to Mr. Oswald?

Mr. Johnson. Yes; I did.

Mr. Rankin. Would you kindly initial it.

(Witness complies.)

Mr. Rankin. Thank you. What did you mean in Exhibit 2 by the statement that "We do not have any organizational ties with the committee"?

Mr. Johnson. That is in reference to the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.

Mr. Rankin. Yes.

Mr. Johnson. And there are no organizational ties between the Communist Party and the Fair Play for Cuba Committee; and since he was writing on that subject, I wanted to make it clear that there is no such relationship existing, so that literature that was being sent was not being sent from the viewpoint of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee as such, or anything like that.

Mr. Rankin. By "organizational ties" did you mean to distinguish between that kind of a tie and some other kind of a tie; is that what you were trying to do?
