...Oswald had been known to the FBI as a former defector to Russia who still backed Communist causes. The previous August, he had been arrested in New Orleans for disturbing the peace in connection with a scuffle that broke out while he was distributing leaflets at a demonstration in support of Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro. Indeed, the FBI harbored unsubstantiated suspicions that Oswald might be a Soviet agent and had assigned Agent James P. Hosty Jr. to keep watch on Oswald's Russian-born wife Marina. Oswald's note warned Hosty to stay away from Marina, whom...
...last week's hearing and in later interviews with reporters, FBI Deputy Associate Director James Adams reported that there were conflicting versions of what was in the note. The receptionist who took it from Oswald said that he had written: "Let this be a warning. I will blow up the FBI and the Dallas police department if you don't stop bothering my wife."

The Senator's suspicions rest in part on the linguistic ruse Hoover used when asked by the Warren Commission about the bureau's links to Oswald. The director declared that "no FBI records could be found" of any connection; the careful wording has persuaded Schweiker that...
Schweiker and Hart are considering holding public hearings on the FBI and Oswald. For the time being, the Senators intend to conduct their probe privately. But in the unlikely event that the subcommittee turns up solid evidence that discredits the Warren Commission's conclusion that Oswald acted alone, the two Senators will propose that Congress reopen the entire investigation into the assassination of John Kennedy...
