(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)

Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; other than we wanted to take some pictures.
Mr. Jenner.
Your present recollection is who took the picture?
Mr. Oswald.
My mother.
Mr. Jenner.
In the background is what?
Mr. Oswald.
The house that we lived in on Victor Street.
Mr. Jenner.
There is a spread picture at the bottom of the double page. Are you familiar with the area which is shown in that picture?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I am.
Mr. Jenner.
What is that area?
Mr. Oswald.
That is on the playground of Ridglea West Elementary School.
Mr. Jenner.
And do you recognize any of the persons shown in that reproduction?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I do.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you identify those, if any, you so recognize?
Mr. Oswald.
The only person I recognize in this photograph is this young man right here I do not recall his name I believe his name was Donald. He lived right around the corner from us.
Mr. Jenner.
Mr. Oswald, I hand you a brush pen. Would you indicate by an arrow the person to whom you made reference? Thank you.
Would you do the same on the picture identified in the extreme upper right hand corner on Exhibit 282.
Now, I notice on the spread picture at the bottom of the page, which was identified as a schoolmate, that there is to the left of that picture a picture with an imprinted arrow. Do you recognize the person to whom the arrow is pointing?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you able to say whether that is or is not your brother Lee?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; from this picture, I cannot determine if it is Lee or not.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you able to see it clearly enough to say that it is not?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I am not able to see it clearly enough to make a positive statement one way or the other. It appears to be a little fuzzy.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you have an opinion as to whether it is or not?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner.
You just do not recognize it?
Mr. Oswald.
I just do not recognize it.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Now on page 68-A, which we will mark as Commission Exhibit No. 283--do you recognize that photograph depicted on that page?
(The material referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 283 for identification.)
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I do.
Mr. Jenner.
Who is it?
Mr. Oswald.
I recognize Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Jenner.
Have you seen the original of that reproduction?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I most certainly have. I might add that I wore that same baby suit.
Mr. Jenner.
That is shown in that picture?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir. And John Edward did, too.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, turning to pages 70 and 71, which we will have marked as Commission Exhibit 284, so far as page 70 is concerned, and page 71 marked as 285.
(The material referred to was marked respectively Commission Exhibits Nos. 284 and 285 for identification.)
Mr. Jenner.
Spread across page 70 and partially on page 71 is a photograph, or a reproduction of a photograph.
Do you recognize any of the persons depicted on that spread page?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And do you recognize more than one person?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner.
And which one do you recognize?
Mr. Oswald.
In the foreground on the left-hand side, on page 70, I recognize that to be Lee Harvey Oswald.
