The same point has now, quite understandably,. been made by the two CBS newsmen. Having some knowledge of this subject I have personally concluded that there is valid . reason for DCD's lack of interest in OSWALD at that time. He would surely have been contacted and debriefed by DCD had he been to the USSR and returned to the US before 1957/1958. Travel to the Soviet Union by Westerners, particularly by Americans, before that time was quite uncommon and we were hungry for eyewitness information in those days. The thaw began in about 1956 and by the end of that decade @ were so many persons travelling to and from the Sovte®sUnion that DCD was incapable of talk~ ing to all of /Aliem: Therefore, a program of selectivity and specifics paxyet pplicability was instituted. In light of th@SaBove;“ik seems to me that OSWALD-- if he 's entiyn at all--would have easily been <becak simply did not possess the type of ar-DeD was seeking at that time.

But there is no question ‘that he is the right man. There are a lot of aspects that we have dug up, for instance, with regards to the matter i: Mexico City.

He wanted to get a permit t to go back to Russia and the Cuban Embassy couldn't give hirm the permit. The Soviet Embassy stated that it wold take three weeks.
