Mr. JENNER. November 8.
Mr. DULLES. November 8. He had been there about 3 weeks.
Mr. OSWALD. The first time I was aware he was in Russia was on
Halloween Day 1959, October 31.
Mr. DULLES. Thank you.
Mr. JENNER. My attention is arrested to that portion of the letter in
which there appears to be a reference to a telegram which you had
previously sent him.
Mr. OSWALD. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Had you sent him such a telegram?
Mr. OSWALD. Yes, sir; I had.
Mr. JENNER. What impelled you or induced you to do that? What event,
stimulation?
Mr. OSWALD. After we were notified that Lee was in Russia.
Mr. JENNER. Who notified you?
Mr. OSWALD. Star Telegram reporter in Fort Worth, Tex. Later on that
same day there was quite a few newspaper reporters out to my house.
I first objected to speaking to them until they stated that perhaps
if we cooperated with them they would perhaps be the only source of
information--that they could relay to us when they received anything
about what Lee was doing, and so forth, and I agreed to talk to them.
After this interview with three or four newspaper reporters they had
left the house, and another man, I do not recall his name, from the
Star Telegram in Fort Worth, came to the house, and I spoke with him,
and I believe at this time he suggested that it would not be wise
because I was asking what did he think as to how I might contact Lee,
and he suggested a letter--pardon me, a telegram, to Secretary of State
Christian Herter, and a telegram to Lee.
