It must have been sent!!!

After all, false defector-in-place in Geneva in June 1962 / false (or perhaps rogue) physical defector to the U.S. in February 1964, Major Lt. Col. "Captain" Yuri Nosenko said he was at KGB headquarters when it came in!!!

From Tennent H. Bagley's 2007 Yale University Press book, Spy Wars: Moles, Mysteries, and Deadly Games:


[In Geneva in late January 1964] after a long swallow of his [straight Scotch] drink, Nosenko recalled another contact with the Oswald affair.

"A few months ago, in September, long before the assassination, I happened to be visiting an office in the First Chief Directorate. One of the guys said it was good I was there, because I might be able to throw some light on a cable that had just come in from the residency in Mexico City. They showed it to me. The cable reported this guy Oswald had come in to the consulate saying he had lived in the USSR and wanted to go back. He was asking for a visa to return here. I told them I vaguely remembered something about his visit and request to stay, and the problems we’d had with that.”

“How long was the cable, exactly what did it say?” [probable mole] George Kisevalter asked.

"About half a page, no more. As I remember, it just gave the identifying data on Oswald and his Soviet wife, and told what he had said about having lived in the USSR and gone back to the States. I heard the guys talking it over. They decided there would be no good reason to let him come back. So they sent a cable telling Mexico to refuse the request.”

By any measure we were getting a most extraordinary break — and witnessing a stunning coincidence. CIA’s only source among the thousands of KGB officers in the USSR arrives straight from Moscow two months after the JFK assassination, to report having had no fewer than four points of contact with the case of Lee Harvey Oswald in the USSR. First, he’d been a key figure in 1959 in the initial refusal (later rescinded) to let him stay. Second, he had personally observed Moscow’s refusal to let Oswald return to the USSR in September 1963. Third, he had personally intervened to get the file from Minsk, and fourth, he had reviewed the entire KGB file on Oswald.

The Nosenko operation had clearly taken a major turn. Now our agent in place had placed himself as a witness — probably the only one — to a question facing the American government concerning one of the most dramatic and potentially dangerous incidents of the Cold War. This over-whelmed all the questions and doubts and shadows that had fallen over this case in the preceding months, all the reservations that piled up about Nosenko’s truthfulness. I doubted that this sensational turn of events was coincidence — new doubts added to so many — but that didn’t matter. Now it was certain: his defection would be accepted, and he would be brought into the United States.
