Oswald crossed into Mexico on 26 September and arrived in Mexico City about 10 a.m. the next day. At the Cuban consulate he asked for an in-transit visa to Cuba on the way to the Soviet Union. The Soviets told him a visa would take months. He argued with the Cuban consul, Eusebio Azcue, and left without either visa. [1][2]
The Cuban consulate employee who handled him, Silvia Duran, later gave a statement; her name and phone number were in his address book. [1][3]
The committee concluded that Oswald was in Mexico City and made these visits. Duran was certain it was him. Another consul, Alfredo Mirabal, saw him from about four metres away. The committee’s handwriting panel matched the signature on the visa application to Oswald. [2]
