Description
On June 9, 1964, the FBI's San Francisco office sent this confidential memorandum concerning Lee Harvey Oswald. It belongs to the Bureau's Oswald file at the height of the Warren Commission's work, when every office's holdings on the accused assassin were being gathered and summarized.
The archive's filing label ties the memo to the question of alleged Communist involvement. That was the charge the Bureau had tracked since Oswald's defection to the Soviet Union in 1959 and his return with a Russian wife. Memos of this kind weighed his Marxism, his contacts, and his committees. The single memo is preserved as a page of the Bureau's political file on Oswald.
