In a document entitled ‘Historic Diary' there appears an entry which refers to 'an elderly American'.

It is apparent that every effort should be made to iden-| tify the elderly American, if he existed. - - . (We assumé the lead is still outstanding. It is our recommendation that the Department of State urgently request through its channels a careful search of Embassy and Con- sular records in Moscow which might reveal the identity of an elderly American hospitalized at the end of October 1959 and possibly registered with the Embassy as a tourist. An independent confirmation of this de- tail could he of freat significance in validating the entries of OSWALD's "Historic Diary' and would possibly lead to the development of additional information on OSWALD's stay in the USSR." 19 February 1964 Memorandum for Mr. J.

We surmise that the reference in OSWALD's letter of 9 November to a man who had since been replaced must refer to Cuban Consul Hiusebio AZCUE, who left Mexico for Cuba on permanent transfer on 18 November 1963, four’. days before the assassination. AZCUE had. been in Mexico for eighteen Years and it was known (to us) as early as September 1963 that he was to be replaced. His replacement did arrive in September. AZCUE was schedu- led to leave in October but did not leave until 18 November.!: "4.

A significant omission from the materials: provided is the letter OSWALD allegedly wrote to the Supreme Soviet requesting Soviet citi- zenship. ... . : a "b. OSWALD signed a receipt in 1960 for his Identity Document for Stateless Persons, and a second receipt in 1962 for his ‘Identity _ Document for Foreigners. The similarity of wording of the receipts regarding his understanding of Soviet residence and travel regula- tions further supports our belief that such regulations are identical or nearly identical for bearers of either type of identity document. This means that OSWALD should have obtained permission ih July 1961 to travel to Moscow, but, as we know from other cases, failure to ob- tain travel permission is not uncommon an; notia seriousi offense. .
