Publication Of Oswald Diary Probed by Warren Commission
The Warren Commission asked the FBI to investigate how the Lee Harvey Oswald diary was published and who obtained it. The diary covers Oswald in Moscow from October 1959 to early 1962, with the Dallas Morning News citing copyright material. The commission warns against leaks and notes the diary publication does not delay its JFK assassination inquiry. Marina Oswald’s lawyer demanded a probe of the publication and the commission plans to release its report after the Republican National Convention.
