Analysis

of Lee Harvey Oswalds Finances

From June 13, 1962,
Through
November
22, 1963

The following analysis of Lee Harvey Oswalds receipts and expenditures for the period June 13, 1962, through November 22, 1963,
contains a complete record of all funds that he and his wife are reported to have received and disbursed from all known sources. It also
contains an estimate for food, clothing, and incidental expenses, which
include telephone calls, money order and check cashing fees, postage,
local transportation
costs, personal care goods and services, local newspapers, and similar small items. Oswalds expenditures for food, clothing, and incidentals were estimated at $100 per month, except for those
months in which his wife and children resided with relatives or
acquaintances.
The estimate reflects Oswalds frugal living habits
during this period, as described in chapter VI of this report. The
Commission has been advised by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of
the U.S. Department of Labor that this estimate is a little higher than
would be normal for a family in Oswalds income class residing in the
southern region of the United States.
(See Commission
Exhibit
No. 1169.)
