Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you indicate the frequency of that?

Mr. Oswald.

If I recall, only one other occasion that we had been hunting together. This was during a leave that Lee had from the Marine Corps.

Mr. Jenner.

During a leave that he had?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir. And at which time, if I may correct myself there, another time comes to mind, I recall two times that we had this type of light hunting out there at that farm, at the same place. One time was during a leave that he had from the Marine Corps. I don't recall of any game at that particular time that we shot. I know we did handle the rifle and fired maybe target practice, something along that line. I don't recall of anything.
The second time that I now remember is during his stay after he returned from Russia, during his stay at my home in Fort Worth, that my wife and I and our children took him and his wife and child out to the farm to meet our in-laws, my in-laws, and also to do a little hunting while we was out there, and which we did just a very little bit. I believe this was on a Sunday afternoon and we didn't stay out very long.

Mr. Jenner.

What weapons did you use on that occasion?

Mr. Oswald.

On that occasion, I believe the same weapons we used before.

Mr. Jenner.

Would that be true of all three occasions?

Mr. Oswald.

I believe on the first occasion, which was the occasion that Lee came home on leave, that at that time I only owned one .22 rifle.

Mr. Jenner.

Was that the semiautomatic?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; it was not the semiautomatic, it was a bolt action rifle, with a clip on it. However, I believe Lee either used my brother-in-law's rifle

Mr. Jenner.

Was that a bolt-action rifle?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; it is a bolt-action rifle. He either used that rifle or a single-shot, bolt-action rifle, another .22 that was out at the farm.

Mr. Jenner.

On the occasion during which you went hunting during that 3-day period, interregnum his return and his discharge and his departure for New Orleans, was the weapon he employed a bolt-action weapon?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; it was.

Mr. Jenner.

Is it a fair statement on my part that on all the occasions that you recall hunting with Lee he employed a bolt- action rifle?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

During your youth and prior to these occasions about which you testified, do you know of the fact or know by rumor or otherwise that your brother engaged in this light hunting or other kind of hunting where he used a firearm even though he was not with you or you did not accompany him?

Mr. Oswald.

I feel surely that he did, without recalling any particular time that he told me, but his interest along that line was generally like mine, that is hunting and fishing, and I am sure when he had an opportunity to hunt that he did do so.

Mr. Dulles.

Did he ever tell you about hunting in Russia?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; he did.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you relate that, please, tell us when the conversation took place and the circumstances, if it was a conversation?

Mr. Oswald.

The circumstances was it was in a letter I received from him.

Mr. Jenner.

Is that one of the letters you produced?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; it is.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you have any conversation with him in addition to the letter, apart from the letter?

Mr. Oswald.

I believe I did along that line because as I stated our interests in hunting and fishing was mutual and he did state that he was able to----

Mr. Jenner.

In response to Mr. Dulles' question, would you give the conversation? We will take care of the letter in the morning.

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I am trying to give the conversation.

Mr. Jenner.

Thank you. Proceed.

Mr. Oswald.

That we talked about hunting over there, and he said that
