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

During OSWALD'S voyage to the United States in 1962, he made the following notation:
as for the fee of $_________I was supposed to recive for this________I
refuse it. I made pretense to except it only because otherwise I would
have been considered a crack pot and not allowed to appear to express
my views. after all who would refuse money?!?
OSWALD deliberately left the blank spaces, indicated by pen strokes. The first blank
was difficult to fill in. How much money OSWALD received was a mystery; however, the
dollar sign indicated the payment had not been made in rubles. Since OSWALD'S Red
Cross subsidy was paid to him in rubles, this paragraph referred to another payment.
OSWALD:
Whene I first went to Russia I the winter of 1959 my funds were very
limited, so after a certain time, after the Russians had assured themselfs
that I was really the naive american who beliyved in communism, they
arranged for me to recive a certain amount of money every month. OK it
came technically through the Red Cross as finical help to a Roos polical
immigrate but it was arranged by the M.V.D.. I told myself it was simply
because I was broke and everybody knew it. I accepted the money
because I was hungry and there were several inches of snow on the
ground in Moscow at the time but what it really was payment for my
denuciation of the U.S. in Moscow in November 1956 and a clear promise
that for as long as I lived in the USSR life would be very good I didn't relize
all this, of course, for almost two years. [WCE 25]
The second blank made sense when the word "information" was placed in it. [WCE 25
p2B p122 of Vol.] Note that when Yuri Nosenko first approached the American
Embassy, Geneva, he offered to sell information to the CIA for 900 Swiss francs. Later
he admitted inventing this story; "He said he feared that an offer to give away
information would be rejected as a provocation..." [Wise, Molehunt p68] Marina Oswald
told this interviewer: "Maybe he make blank line because he forget amount."
EVIDENCE: POWERS BELIEVED OSWALD WAS RESPONSIBLE
In 1970 Francis Gary Powers wrote in Overflight that he believed OSWALD'S defection
was related to his being shot down: "OSWALD'S familiarity with MPS 16 height-finding
radar gear and radio codes (the latter were changed following his defection) are
mentioned in the testimony of John E. Donovan a former first lieutenant assigned to the
same El Toro radar unit as OSWALD on page 298 of Volume 8 of the Warren
Commission Hearings. According to Donovan:
OSWALD has access to the location of all bases in the west coast area,
all radio frequencies for all squadrons, all tactical call signs, and the
relative strength of all squadrons, number and type of aircraft in each
squadron, who was the commanding officer, the authentification code of
