Description
An FBI memorandum dated February 24, 1964 was prepared for Clyde Tolson, J. Edgar Hoover's deputy. It records a call from J. Lee Rankin, chief counsel of the Warren Commission. Rankin's call concerned Marina Oswald, the accused assassin's widow, and James Herbert Martin, a figure in her affairs.
Marina's testimony and her handling were live issues between the commission and the Bureau. A call from the commission's lawyer became a memo to the director's right hand the same day. The paper shows how closely the two bodies coordinated, and how quickly their contacts were written up.
