Mr. Rankin.

the head of it, and I think it might be helpful if we just start with that and we can move on if you wish to with the other.

The Chairman.

All right.
(Playing of tape recording.)

Mr. Rankin.

Mrs. Oswald, this is about 3 pages out of around between 13 and 14 of your son's transcription. Do you recognize your son's voice?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, I have to listen really, it is a recorder, I am sure, but I have to, you know, listen, that story is right. There are two discrepancies so far as dates.

Mr. Rankin.

But you do recognize it? It sounds like him?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, it sounds like him. It is the recorder.

Mr. Rankin.

Is it all right for us to pass down to yours at this time?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, and I want the time on it.

Mr. Rankin.

Yes.

Mrs. Oswald.

That would be how many pages? About the 2 months he made an error, it is June 13 and they were in my home with me by July 14.
(Transcription played.)

Mr. Rankin.

Mrs. Oswald, do you have any problem about that being your voice on the tape?

Mrs. Oswald.

No, sir, but I think probably the rest of it is my voice. I had a news conference at the Fort Worth Press Club at Fort Worth, Tex., that I was on tape for 2 hours.
Now, here is what--this is probably a little over 10 minutes to hear "Pardon me, you will have to excuse me." And there was a lot of break there. That is exactly 10 minutes. I have testified that at the Inn of Six Flags I talked for about 10 minutes and then I stopped because my son was crying, and I still say I testified for 10 minutes approximately at the Inn of Six Flags.
I had a press conference at the Fort Worth Press Club, that can be verified that I talked for over 2 hours that I was on tape. I was sitting on a desk with many, many reporters because this was when it just happened, and we had a lot of reporters, and in the back of me was a man, and everything I said was on this tape, and it was over 2 hours that I talked at this press club.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you say the things that you say here?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Rankin.

In answer to these questions?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, and all through here is my story, yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

At the press club?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, sir. I talked for 2 hours.

Mr. Rankin.

And you didn't say it to this agent?

Mrs. Oswald.

I said, and I am going to continue to say this, that I had approximately 10 minutes interview at the Inn of Six Flags, and then the telephone rang and Robert came out and started crying. and I said I see my son crying so now all my thoughts have left me and I was not interviewed any further at the Inn of Six Flags, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

On this tape you heard a little child talking, didn't you?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, that is right.

Mr. Rankin.

Now, was there a little child like that at this----

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, June was at the Inn of the Six Flags and if I am as smart as they are and if they are as smart as I am, there could be a little child crying all during the rest of the testimony.

Mr. Rankin.

I see, but there wasn't a little child at the place where you gave your press conference?

Mrs. Oswald.

No, but I am not familiar with--but couldn't a tape be added and spliced and couldn't a child voice be put in? I am just saying. because I have said before and I am saying now I was taped for about 10 minutes, just where this business came in was exactly 10 minutes, "Pardon me," now I spoke for over two and a half hours at the Fort Worth Press Club and was taped there.
What they can do with that tape, I don't know.

Mr. Rankin.

Who asked you the questions when you were answering them at the Fort Worth Press Club?

Mrs. Oswald.

Now, it was not in this sequence, answer and questions. So, I am saying, I do not know how they can get my voice and do the tape and answering
