William W. Turner, employed by the Bureau for 10^ years, conducted a private investigation in Dallas immediately following the assassination of President Kennedy. His article, "The FBI Could Have Saved President Kennedy's Life," appears in the current issue of SAGA magazine. According to Turner, a Dallas FBI agent had interviewed Oswald 10 days prior to the assassination. Two F3I men, whose names Turner says he knows, had talked originally to Oswald's mother in an effort to locate him in Dallas. And Oswald's Russian wife was visited twice during October by FBI agents. Although the Dallas police had no record of any sort on Oswald, his name was in the files of the FBI's Dallas office. Turner reveals that a "thick file" on the accused assassin was begun by the Federal agency after Oswald applied for Russian citizenship in Moscow in 1959. "it was started at the urging of the State Department's security unit, and it was reviewed and brought up to date every 30 days during 1962 and 1963• Here, the FBI did its duty," Turner writes. -more- 435
