Oswald Viewed as a kook by Cuban and Soviet Officials
A former CIA official testified that Cuban and Soviet embassies in Mexico City regarded Lee Harvey Oswald as a kook during a 1963 visit and did not urge him to kill President Kennedy. He said the CIA tracked Oswald’s contacts and found no evidence of embassy encouragement. The Washington Post reported the CIA intercepted a call from the Cuban to the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City, with the transcript partially sent to the Warren Commission.
