NODULE X7 OSWALD IN MINSK AND THE U2 DUMP: JANUARY ...

EVIDENCE: THE LETTER TO ROBERT EDWARD OSWALD
OSWALD'S Historic Diary noted:
January 15, 1962 to February 15, 1962. Days of cold Russian winter. But
we feel fine. Marina is supposed to have baby on March 1, 1962. Feb 15,
1962. Dawn. Marina wakes me up. Its her time. At 9:00 a.m. we arrive at
the hospital. I leave her in care of nurses and leave to go to work. 10:00
a.m. Marina has a baby girl. When I vist hospital at 500 after work, I am
given news. We both wanted a boy. Marina feels well, baby girl, O.K.
February 23, 1962. Marina leaves hospital I see June for first time.
On February 15, 1962, OSWALD wrote this to Robert Edward Oswald, as see above: "I
heard over the Voice of America that they released Francis Gary Powers the U-2 spy
plane fellow. that's big news where you are, I suppose. He seemed to be a nice,
bright, American-type fellow, when I saw him in Moscow."
The CIA commented:
The only period during which it would have been reasonably possible for
OSWALD to have seen Francis Gary Powers in Moscow in person was
between August 17, 1960 and August 19, 1960, when Francis Gary
Powers was in Moscow, undergoing trial. There are no other indications
that OSWALD was in Moscow after January 1960, so OSWALD'S
statements remain unclarified.
If OSWALD did, in fact, see Francis Gary Powers during the trial, why had he waited
almost 18 months before writing to his brother about it? Why hadn't OSWALD
mentioned attending the Francis Gary Powers trial in his Historic Diary? [CIA 285]
