Please give us their nenien ant how you recrulted then, . a wots * Nosenko was asked why he was chosen te ge ta Geneva in 1962 Instead of an ofticer from the Depactinent (AGH) Delegation, Anawering this question he mentioned the ceceustment of ten Note: Amecicans. .

I sald, "Be my gucst, Oleg Mixhaylovich. I am not saying no. . . So Gribanov docided "You will go. That's all" (Nosenko knocked on tho desk). . . Well, what am [2 . ... Who have I recruitted?.. . . Ten Americans, no more than that s « « (and Gribanov said) "You will go! You must gol" Ii. Soviet visas and other regulations for tourists traveling to the USSR. zi. Didn't you know or remember how Oswald's visa was processed and mo , from what country Oswald entered the USSR? Ie it porsible that he ey entered the USSR on a “podvisnaya” visa? * ‘ UY 2. You previously said that you saw Oswald's visa application, but you could nat say from what country Oswald came to the USSR. In your opinion, is it possible that Oswald received hie visa application In some other European . country, then went to Finland and through Finland entered the USSR without : contacting the Sovict cozsulate in Helsinki? Did you hear any talk about the possibility that is described above? U so, when did you hear it and from whom? UV 3. On 3 July 1964 you stated that you have seen Oswald's anketa (visa application). Do you remember what was in that ankcta? Did you read - the anketa? What did you mean that you saw the anketa? Was it in the naine Lee Harvey Oswal2, or was there atiother name? Did you sce the name of the person wha signed the anketa?
104-10297-10211 MORI DocID: 349181 4, Soe you have any information to the effect that Oswald might aot have come to the Sovict consulate of to the Saviet Erntiunsy in Gebsintd to ° attain his visa’ Could he have qbtained a visa ia Switzerlaud oo Sweden . tien nave come ty cletsinki and, without cepocting to the Saviet conaulate jan Helsinki, have taken a teain ta Lentugead and then to Moscuw?: 5. According to your previous Information, Many tuurivt - he buys a tour to the Soviet Union, makes out the anketa, and then comer to Reracun “ In what country did Ouwald buy a tour to the USSR? In what country did Ozrwald fill in the anketa? [f the anketa pocs to Moscow, te what office in Moscow does it go? To MID, KGB? Is it possible that all the dais on Oswald from his anketa was sent to Méscow by # cabler Did you soc and rand Oswald's anketa or a telegram that Oswald is coming to Moscow? If you did not read the anketa, who among the KGB officers of the Second Chief Directorate or the First Chief Directorate read the anketa or had Sccess to it? Who would logically have access to the anketa? . v 6, According to your previous information, any person who wants to visit the USSR has to buy a tour. in a forcign tourist firm in his home country or any . other country, and the tourist firm will make arrangements for his stay in. = the USSR. It is understood that he must fn in tho anketa, and in addition to the general questions, the common tourist should make requests for the ae cities he intends to visit and for the accommodations he wants. The tourist would know in advance when he receives his visa his date of arrival in Sof es Moscow, in what hotel he {s going to stay, and what kind of accommodations he would be given. The question, then, is do you know when Intourist received Oswald's request and application and when it anawered him that his demnands are met and that he is welcome In Moscow? i a / % From your knowledge, when Oswald arrived in Moscow, was he handled by the Intourist Agency or by Sputnik, the Youth Tourist Burcau of the USSR, ‘or by the Central Council for Tourism of the Sovict Trade Unions? ° Note: The Central Council far Tovriem of the’ Suviet Trade Unians organizes exchanges of tourists between trade unions of the USSR and other countries. Sputnik was organized in June 1958 for the exchange of of tourists (students and other youths),
104-10297-10211 OO MORI DocID: 349181 . : e ” 8. Whats the procedure after a touriat applies for a Soviet viru? Doe you know at what tourist apency or in what foreign countey Onwald applied __. for a visa ta Che USS or bought atuue te the USSK? Whe wes the z ‘ . Soviet Intouciat representative in that country who took Oswald's visa application to the Sevict Embassy? 2 You stated previously, thet Oswald was not considered adefector. If he was nota defector, then what was he? , . £ — Note: If the KGB did not consider Oswald to be a defector, then ft is . possible that Oswald was known to the KGB long befoce his arrival. in the USSR as a tourist and Oswald was assured that when he - ~ ‘arrived in the USSR he would be given Sovict citizenship or -at—_____.. least a permanent residence permit, Although he would bea defector anyway, it could be that Oswald did not like the word defector _and the KGB decided not to call him a defector but, Ict us say,.a volunteer. Tho Soviet Constitution states thatthe USSR grants the . ' right of asylum to all forcign citizens “uto are persecuted for : : safeguarding the interests of the working class or who are persecuted for scientific activities, for national-liberation struggle." (Article 129 of the USSR Constitution of 1936,) : , JY 10. You stated previously that "since about 1960, cvery Sovict ambassador-—-- , can give a visa In threo to five days. If so, what was ‘so special for the a . : Sovict government that the ambassador would be personally involved in issuing a visa to Oswald? ~ | Te " Nate: tt ‘te kilown ‘that in 1957 the Soviet government adopted some meastres ~ ‘ to improve travel for forcign tourists In the USSR, They mostly . j : concerned currency exchange. The 1957 regulations said nothing i about visas. _Nosenko should be questioned about the 1957 decision :. of the Soviet government to determine if he {s not mistaking the 1957 _ decision with that of 1960, . : y il. ‘You stated previously that since about 1960, every Soviet ambaseador can give vidas.in from three to five days. The available information published by the Soviets unmistakenly states that a visa cannot be obtained : ° in less thanseven days {in some cases it takes five to seven days). Following ; are excerpts from a book entitled Moscow, A Tourists Companion, published “one in Moscow in 1969, and from the magazine Sovict Life, May 1978, p. 59. Soviet Life stated that "visas are issued within 10 ‘days of receipt of application.at a Soviet consulate, "
