Mrs. OSWALD. Many were surprised at that--here and in Russia.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you know why he went to Minsk, or was allowed to go to
Minsk?
Mrs. OSWALD. He was sent to Minsk.
Mr. RANKIN. By that, you mean by direction of the government?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Did your husband do any writing while he was in the Soviet
Union that you know of?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, he wrote a diary about his stay in the Soviet Union.
Mr. RANKIN. I hand you Exhibit 24 and ask you if that is a photostatic
copy of the diary that you have just referred to.
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, that is Lee's handwriting. It is a pity that I don't
understand it.
Is that all? It seems to me there was more.
Mr. RANKIN. Mrs. Oswald, that is all of the historic diary that we
have received. There are some other materials that I will call your
attention to, but apparently they are not part of that.
