Mr. Rankin.

We offer in evidence Exhibits 30 through 65, inclusive.

The Chairman.

They may be admitted and take the appropriate numbers.
(The documents referred to were marked Commission Exhibit Nos. 30 through 65, inclusive, and received in evidence.)

Mr. Rankin.

Mrs. Oswald, you remember I asked you about the diary that your husband kept. You said that he completed it in Russia before he came to this country, do you remember that?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you know whether or not the entries that he made in that diary were made each day as the events occurred?

Mrs. Oswald.

No, not each day.

Mr. Rankin.

Were they noted shortly after the time they occurred?

Mrs. Oswald.

Not all events. What happened in Moscow I don't think that Lee wrote that in Moscow.

Mr. Rankin.

What about the entries concerning what happened in Minsk?

Mrs. Oswald.

He wrote this while he was working.

Mr. Rankin.

And you think those entries were made close to the time that the events occurred?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Rankin.

As I understand you, you think that the entries concerning the time he was in Moscow before he went to Minsk were entered some time while he was in Minsk, is that right?

Mrs. Oswald.

I think so, but I don't know.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you know why your husband was sent to Minsk to work and live after he came to the Soviet Union, instead of some other city?

Mrs. Oswald.

He was sent there because this is a young and developing city where there are many industrial enterprises which needed personnel. It is an old, a very old city. But after the war, it had been almost completely built anew, because everything has been destroyed. It was easier in the sense of living space in Minsk--it was easier to secure living space. Many immigrants are sent to Minsk. There are many immigrants there now.
