He was to my left. I might say at this time that the women at the sink would be on my far right, behind me generally. And he related to me----

Mr. Jenner.

What did he say?

Mr. Oswald.

This incident, that Marina had told him that on a day still not identified to me, that he, Lee Harvey Oswald, had the intention to shoot Mr. Richard M. Nixon, and that Marina N. Oswald had locked Lee in the bathroom for the entire day. And that was the text to my best remembrance that was everything that was said from him.

Mr. Jenner.

Have you now exhausted your recollection?

Mr. Oswald.

Of Mr. Martin's conversation to me?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I have.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he say how he had come about this information?

Mr. Oswald.

No, other than he had a conversation with Marina N. Oswald.

Mr. Jenner.

And he was relating to you a conversation he had had with her?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he say that she had reported this to him?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; he did.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you inquire of him as to why this had not been disclosed to you before?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I did not.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you ask any questions of him in that connection?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I did not.
I might add that my reaction at that time was that I was rather speechless. I believe I just shook my head in utter disbelief to what I was hearing.

Mr. Jenner.

Did Mr. Martin relate to you when Marina had told him this story?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; not to my recollection.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you question him with respect to that?

Mr. Oswald.

No. sir; I did not.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you make any effort to fix the time when the event in question had taken place?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; in my own mind I did.

Mr. Jenner.

You didn't question Mr. Martin about it, however?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I did not.

Mr. Dulles.

At this time, did you know of the rumors with regard to the attack on General Walker or not?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I did. And I refer, again, to the entry on January 13, 1964, and the statement that Jim advised that Marina told him that Lee wanted to "blank NMR, also." And by that "also" I was aware of the attempt on General Walker's life.

Mr. Jenner.

Was anything said during the course of your conversation with Mr. Martin in the den with respect to the information you had that an attempt had been made by your brother on the life of General Walker?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir, not at this conversation, it was not.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you ever talk to Mr. Martin at any time subsequent to this, with respect to this event?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir--preceding this day of January 13, 1964, approximately 3 or 4 weeks prior to that----

Mr. Jenner.

This particular event, I mean--Mr. Martin's relating to you that Marina had advised him that your brother wanted to shoot Richard M. Nixon, the Vice President of the United States. Did you have a further conversation with Mr. Martin at any time subsequent to that--that is, after January 13, 1964?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I did not.

Mr. Jenner.

You have not up to this moment?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I have not.

Mr. Jenner.

You did not at any time later that day? You had only this one conversation with Mr. Martin, and none other?

Mr. Oswald.

On this subject, yes, sir, that is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

On this particular subject, you made no effort to question him further about it?
