NO T-2 informed that Mexican Tourist Card No. 24085, good
for fifteen days' travel in Mexico from the date of issuance, was
issued on September 17, 1963, to LEE HARVEY OSWALD, of 4907
Magazine Street, New Orleans, Louisiana. This application reflected
oswald was 23 years of age, married, a photographer by profession,
and 'allegedly employed at 640 Rampart Street, New Orleans, Louisiana.
He showed proof of American citizenship by presenting a birth
certificate and claimed to be taking $300.00 to Mexico as an in
transit tourist for a period of fifteen days and that his travel
would be via bus.
NO T-2 stated that the "in transit tourist travel" means
that the traveler, namely oswald, intended to travel out of Mexico
to some other country; however, his records did not reflect to what
locale OSWALD would travel.
He stated two copies of the tourist card are issued, one
would be picked up by Mexican Immigration authorities at oswald's
point of entry into Mexico and the second copy would be picked up
at the time he left Mexico. He suggested that if OSWALD traveled
by bus, as indicated in his application, he would have entered
Mexico most probably at Laredo or Roma on the Mexican border.
He stated there is no return made to the New Orleans
Mexican Consulate concerning this issued tourist card but that the
tourist card is returned finally to Mexican Immigration Authorities,
namely Secretaria De Governacion, Calle Bucareli # 99, Mexico D.F.,
Mexico. He stated these records would show if oswald traveled to
some other country after arriving in Mexico.
In addition to the fifteen day tourist cards issued by
the Mexican Consulate, there are six-month tourist cards issued,
which cards would be used within ninety days from the date of
issuance but which are valid for a period of six months in Mexico
from the date of entry. These tourist cards are issued for $3.00.
Both the fifteen-day tourist card applications and the six-
month tourist card applications were reviewed and they failed to show
any references to HIDELL, RUBY, or RUBENSTEIN.
In addition to the tourist card issued to oswald on
September 17, 1963, there were nine additional fifteen-day tourist
cards issued and there were nine additional six-month tourist cards
issued.
