14-90000 2. ‘There were five telephone calls to or from the Soviet — Embassy in Mexico City which (after 22 November 1963) were linked to OSWALD for the period 27 September 1963 to 1 October 1963: a) ‘Shortly after 1600 hours on 27 September 1963 the Soviet _Embassy, Mexico City, received a call. from Sylvia DURAN, a Mexican employee .in the Cuban Consulate, Mexico City. DURAN had a North- american in her office and wanted to know who he talked with at ‘ ” the Soviet Embassy. She had sent him there for a Soviet visa . after which the Cubans would issue one to him. DURAN was told to — ‘leave. a number for someone to return. the call. - She gave the Soviets the number of the Cuban Consulate: 3/ One concludes from this conversation that. this Northamerican,. later identified by DURAN as OSWALD, went. first. to the Cuban Embassy on 27 September, then to the Soviet Embassy, and ~ ‘returned to. the Cuban Embassy when DURAN ‘made the first - call. 7 -b) At 1626 hours on 27 September a Soviet male in the Soviet ‘Embassy, Mexico City, returned the call to DURAN at the Cuban. Embassy and asked if the Northamerican had been there and was told | that he was still there (at the Cuban Embassy). The Soviet told DURAN that the Northamerican had shown them letters with their. Consulate. in Washington requesting a visa for himself and. his wife. but the process takes 4 to 5 months. and they (the Soviet Embassy in Mexico) have no authorization to issue.a visa to him - and furthermore they (the Soviet Embassy in Mexico) do not know anything about him and cannot give him a letter of recommendation to :go to Cuba (enroute to the USSR). ‘DURAN says that in that case ‘he :cannot -be issued a visa to Cuba either {until he receives permission to go on. to the USSR). 4/ c) Shortly: before 1200 hours on 28 September. 1963. the Soviet ' Embassy Consulate, Mexico City, received a call from Sylvia. DURAN who said she had there in "their" Consulate, the Northamerican who had been to the Soviet Embassy. The Northamerican. talks with the Soviet in English and Russian saying he was: "just now" at your” Embassy and they "took his address" but he didn't know it.then and went back to the Cuban Embassy to get it. The Soviet tells him to come back to the Soviet Embassy. The Northamerican agrees to do so. right. away. 5/ . (One concludes from this conversation that OSWALD went to the Soviet Embassy before 1200 hours on 28 September, then to the Cuban Embassy ‘where the call was made, then returned to the Soviet Embassy some time after 1200 hours the same day. ) . —

She wants ‘. to-know with whom he spoke because he sdys that he doesn't know ‘either with what person and who told him that certainly there would be no problem. The Soviet asks DURAN-to wait a minute. After a ‘short wait. DURAN explains the same thing .to another Soviet. This Soviet. tells her to leave her telephone (number) and her name and someone will. return the call. DURAN gives her name and telephone Number 11-28-47 then Says as a personal , thing, she has moved .and ° has not advised them of a change of address so.will not receive their Bulletin and can give it to them now. The Soviet asks her to call” KOUKHARENKO in order. to change that address and asks for the name - : Of the (Cuban). Cultural Attache. -:DURAN says it -is-Teresa PROENZA whose number: is ‘14- 13- 26.

SOVIET: DURAN: SOVIET: DURAN: SOVIET: DURAN: According to the letters that.he showed them from the (Soviet) Consulate in Washington, he wants to go to the USSR to stay a long time with his wife who is Russian, but also the answer had not been received (by him) regarding his problem.. That accordingly these transactions take 4 or S months but without prior approval from the USSR, they have to request and even then, they could not: issue the visa here. (in Mexico City) without. asking Washington. Yet. accordingly. this man (the American) » 7 showed him a letter in which he (the American) is a.member of an organization in favor of Cuba and said that the Cubans could not give him the visa without the Russian visa and now the Soviet doesn't know what to do . with him,. because he has to-wait for the answer from Washington. .-With them also, because the problem with, him (the American) is that he doesn't know anyone in Cuba and in that case it is very difficult to give him a visa, because he was thinking of processing his visa, because he knew it was going to take a long time waiting for the Russian visa in Cuba, and then go on to the USSR. ..that the thing is that if his (the American) wife were now’ in Washington (and) going to receive the visa right now or the permission from the USSR to return to her country, (if) she is going to receive her visa in Washington, then having this visa, she can. ‘communicate to whatever place, this permission, for example, here or. in any other place (he) can receive it, but right now they do not- have’ them. .-certainly and neither can (the Cubans) give him a letter - because they do not. know if the visa will be approved.

OSWALD Calls. — ‘3. Original Transcripts. FINDINGS: / 1. Calls concerning travel to ODESSA. Three calls were made in ‘the Spanish language on 27 September 1963 concerning travel to Odessa. The ‘first call was made about 1040 hours to the Soviet Military Attache Office.. An unidentified man outside asks the Soviet Military Attache What is needed to get a visa to go to Odessa. The Soviet tells him to Call 15-60-55 and ask for the consul. The man outside asks for the address: which the Soviet provides. 1/ The second call was made about 1037 hours to the Consulate of the Soviet Embassy (15-60-55). An unidentified man asks for the consul and is told that he is not.there. The unidentified man asks what is needed to get a visa to go to Odessa and is told to call back at 1130 hours. 2/ The third call occurred at 1235 hours. A man- ‘ mamed ALATRISTE (not a Soviet) inside the Soviet Consulate (15-60-55) called out to number 45-37-72 (Colonial America, probably a pension or hotel but ‘Not listed. in the telephone directory) and speaks with a man named SAN - ROMAN. ALATRISTE says that he is in the Russian Embassy and they need to . know what day the boat "KALONIA" will arrive in Odessa, that the Soviets will also need copiés of the passenger manifest. (The conversation suggests that ALATRISTE and. SAN ROMAN were shipping representatives of the boat “KALONIA"). 2/ There is nothing in either of the calls to suggest any connection with OSWALD. There is evidence that the calls were not related ‘to OSWALD: a) in-OSWALDS's contacts with Cuban dnd Soviet officials ‘he made no effort to communicate in Spanish though he appeared to have difficulty With both English and Russian, thus one concludes that he could not speak Spanish. .All three calls about Odessa were in fluent Spanish. b) Marina OSWALD in her letter to the Soviet Embassy, Washington, D.C. (reproduced in the. Warren Commission Report) asked specifically to go to Lenningrad and - made no.mention of Odessa.
