Mr. Oswald.

There are five dashes there. And the word "shoot" was my intention to blank there. And the initials "NMR" stands for Richard M. Nixon in.

Mr. Jenner.

I take it, then, that the five dashes were inserted there as substitute for the word "shoot"?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And the initials are those of Richard M. Nixon reversed?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, would you please state fully when this matter or incident first came to your attention where and through and by whom?

Mr. Oswald.

The first time I was aware of this incident was at Mr. Jim H. Martin's home in Dallas, Tex.

Mr. Jenner.

On what day?

Mr. Oswald.

On Sunday, January 13, 1964.

Mr. Jenner.

What was the occasion for your being there?

Mr. Oswald.

To visit With Marina, and to take her to the cemetery.

Mr. Jenner.

You entered the home?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Was your wife, Mrs. Oswald, with you?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; she was.

Mr. Jenner.

Your children?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; they were.

Mr. Jenner.

You entered the home, and who was there?

Mr. Oswald.

Mr. and Mrs. James H. Martin, I believe their children were also present, and in the living room of their home there was two Secret Service agents, or one Secret Service agent, and two Dallas police officers.

Mr. Jenner.

Are you able to identify any of those four men? Do you recall any of them at the moment?

Mr. Oswald.

I believe, sir, that one of the Secret Service agents, if he was either the only one there, or two of them were there, the one that I do recall, Mr. Bob Jameson or Jimson, of the Dallas office the U.S. Secret Service office in Dallas.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, to what Richard M. Nixon did the initials "NMR" as you have placed them in this note refer?

Mr. Oswald.

To the past Vice President of the United States.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, proceed to tell us about how the circumstance arose, your first conversation. of it, your first notice of it.

Mr. Oswald.

I was talking with Mr. Jim Martin about various other matters.

Mr. Jenner.

Excuse me, sir. Where were you in talking to Mr. Jim Martin?

Mr. Oswald.

I was in the den of his home, sitting on a sofa.

Mr. Jenner.

And who was present?

Mr. Oswald.

Jim Martin and I were sitting on the sofa, and I believe my wife and his wife were at the end of the den in the kitchen part of it, standing by the sink.

Mr. Jenner.

What is the distance between yourselves sitting on the sofa and the others?

Mr. Oswald.

I would say approximately 12 or 15 feet, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And was there a doorway, was it open?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; it is an open room.

Mr. Jenner.

So you were all in the same room--one section of it you describe as a den?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And the other section consists of what?

Mr. Oswald.

The kitchen, the sink, refrigerator, a washing machine, built-in oven and range.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. Proceed.

Mr. Oswald.

We discussed other matters. I do not recall what they were. Just talking to him about how Marina was doing and so forth, and any other thing that we might be talking about in general, small talk. And we finally--he finally brought up this question.

Mr. Jenner.

What did he say and how did he approach it? Reproduce it as best you can, sir.

Mr. Oswald.

I believe he moved very close to me. I was turned towards him.
