FINDINGS:


    1.  Calls concerning  travel to ODESSA. Three  calls were made in
the Spanish language on  27 September 1963 concerning travel to Odessa.
The first call was made about 194V hours to the Soviet Military  Attache
Office.  An unidentified man outside asks the Soviet Military Attache
what is needed to get a visa to go to Odessa.  The Soviet  tells him to
call 15-60-55 and ask for the consul.  The man outside  asks for the
address which the Soviet provides. 1/  The second call was made  about
1037 hours to the Consulate of the Soviet Embassy  (15-60-55).An unidentified
man asks for the consul and is told that he is not  there. The unidentified
man asks what is needed to get a visa to go to Odessa and  is told to call
back at 1130 hours. 2/  The third call occurred at 1235 hours.  A man
named ALATRISTE  (not a Soviet) inside the Soviet Consulate (15-60-55) called
out to number 45-37-72  (Colonial America, probably a pension or hotel but
not-isted  in the telephone directory) and speaks with a man named SAN
ROMAN.  ALATRISTE says that he is in the Russian Embassy and they need  to
know what day the boat KALONIA will arrive in Odessa, that the Soviets
will also need copies of the passenger manifest.   (The conversation suggests
that ALATRISTE and SAN ROMAN were shipping representatives of the boat
KALONIA). 2/  There is nothing in either of the calls to suggest any
connection with OSWALD.  There is evidence that the calls were not related
to-OSWALD:  a) in OSWALDS's contacts with Cuban and Soviet officials he made
no effort to communicate in Spanish though he appeared to have difficulty
with both English and Russian, thus one concludes that he could not speak
Spanish.  All three calls about Odessa were in fluent Spanish.  b) Marina
OSWALD in her letter to the Soviet Embassy, Washington, D.C.  (reproduced in
the Warren Commission Report)asked specifically to go to Lenningrad and
made no mention of Odessa.
