Summary  
The documents detail Cuban government statements regarding Lee Harvey Oswald’s visa requests to travel to the Soviet Union in 1963 and their suspicions about U.S. involvement in President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Multiple messages reference Oswald’s application for a transit visa through the Cuban Consulate in Mexico City, which was denied due to lack of authorization from the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Relations. The Cuban government alleged that U.S. reactionary forces orchestrated the assassination as a provocation against world peace, implicating Cuba and the USSR in the plot. Fidel Castro’s comments are cited, stating that Oswald was manipulated by authorities or assigned tasks to shift blame onto others. The documents also mention the dissemination of these statements to Cuban diplomatic missions worldwide and U.S. government inquiries about related communications.
