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 in July 1961 to travel to Moscow, but, as we know. from. other cases, failure to ob- tain travel permission:is not. uncommon and not. a serious offense. .

George de — MOHRENSCHILDT said that President Kennedy was hated by the Dallas elite, and he felt that it was very likely that certain reactionary elements in Dallas had organized a plot to get rid of Kennedy and used a dis- turbed person such as OSWALD to achieve their ends. Mrs. de MOHRENSCHILDT agreed fully with this thesis. "3, A copy of this memorandum is being forwarded to the FBI. nO 1964 CSCE-316/00856-64 Subject:.
