This typed letter from Arnold Johnson, Director of the Information and Lecture Bureau of Communist Party USA, to Lee Harvey Oswald, dated July 31, 1963, appears in slightly altered form as Arnold Johnson Exhibit No. 2 in Warren Commission Volume 20, page 260. As printed in that volume, the Communist Party USA letterhead with mailing address is covered up and replaced with blank space and a rough handwritten note by Warren Commission general counsel J. Lee Rankin. His notation reads: "Exhibit No. 2 on Examination of Arnold Johnson, 4/17/64 at New York, NY" and initialed JLR. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
