*Correction. He never got to see Colonel Aksenov because when he went
to discuss this question in the--whatever office that was--he talked to
some junior officer, and they would not let him have an audience with
the colonel.
Senator RUSSELL. Did you go to see the colonel likewise?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Senator RUSSELL. You were both there together?
*Mrs. OSWALD. We never got to see him. I saw Colonel Aksenov later on.
Senator RUSSELL. Was he a colonel in the army or in the militia or in
the police or just what? Where did he get his rank?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. He was a colonel in the MVD, which is the Administer of
Internal Affairs.
Senator RUSSELL. He had to do then with the passports. His
recommendation would have had to have been had with the passports?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. I think so. I do not know definitely, but that meeting
was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was not dressed in a
military uniform.
