Summary[edit]

Description
English: While on home leave in Washington January 1961 where he attended the inauguration of President Kennedy Bud Uanna also visited the U.S. Department of State's Passport Office. His passport was stamped by Frances G. Knight - Director of the Passport Office. Ms. Knight would be called before the Warren Commission to explain, among other things, a memorandum dated December 26, 1961 - 4 days after Bud Uanna died in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The memorandum was sent to William O. Boswell in the Office of Security (SY). It involved Lee Harvey Oswald's return to the United States from the Soviet Union. Her testimony can be viewed on the JFK Assassination Center's web site under List of Witnesses and Testimony. Much of Oswald's history relating to the Soviet Union is discussed and downplayed. It would be brought up as evidence against him almost immediately after President Kennedy was assassinated. Ms. Knight's testimony is almost comical when weighed against the restrictions against other U.S. citizens. Paul Robeson for example. Uanna's son does not believe that Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President Kennedy. He accepts what Oswald said about himself in the hallway of the Dallas, Texas Police Headquarters - "I'm just a patsy".
