CD-75 42 NO 89-69 RLB/FAS/sab/bal 1 LAC 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. 571
