Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; that is correct.
"If she knew Lee had tried to commit suicide while in Russia prior to their marriage. She did not, and it was the first I knew about it. Marina later confirmed this, and said that she had asked Lee two or three times what was the cut on his wrist, pointing to the cut on his left wrist. Lee would become very mad and tell her nothing. The FBI read this in Marina's book."

Mr. Mckenzie.

"Read this in Marina's book." You misread there. "The FBI read this in Lee's book."

Mr. Jenner.

That is correct?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.
"Understand he had a date with another girl around 8 p.m. (This is in Moscow.)"

Mr. Jenner.

Is that in parentheses?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; it is.

Mr. Jenner.

The words "this is in Moscow" are in parentheses?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.
"And right before she was due to arrive, he cut his wrist. Marina said she was 'shocked' when the FBI told her this story."

Mr. Jenner.

I will not question the witness further about that entry-unless you wish to pursue it at the moment.

Mr. Dulles.

No, follow your own order.
There is one question I would ask that relates to the past. That is what you testified to just a moment before. This is with regard to locking in the bathroom for a day.
Did Marina indicate that that was for the purpose of keeping Lee away from possibly Nixon, if he was to be there that day, or was it to cool him down? Did you get any impression as to what the purpose was of the locking in the bathroom?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I most certainly did. Her intentions as related to me was to keep him from shooting at Mr. Nixon.

Mr. Jenner.

On that particular day, or on some future occasion?

Mr. Oswald.

I would say on the particular day-pardon me. I misunderstood the question.

Mr. Mckenzie.

I think he misunderstood the question.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.
Was it your impression that Mr. Nixon was to be in Dallas on that particular day, and that that is the day that Marina locked him in the bathroom?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Was she locking him in the bathroom to cool him off so he would not attempt it when Mr. Nixon might be in town some later date?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir, it was her intention, or my impression of her intentions, that she locked him in the bathroom on that date, to keep him on that date from shooting at Mr. Richard M. Nixon.

Mr. Jenner.

So your impression was this was an imminent event?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Dulles.

Or that she thought it was an imminent event?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, that, thank you.

Mr. Dulles.

That is all I have now.

Mr. Jenner.

I take it from your testimony that this ringed notebook, and in part a diary, is a record first of past events-- that you prepared it subsequently to the events recorded therein.

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; that is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, start from the beginning, that is the first page, the first paragraph of which you have read, in order to identify it. I notice a date--December 6, 1963. Do you find it, sir?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Is that the date on which you prepared at least the first page or started this memorandum?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; that is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, would you please take that memorandum or notebook and identify each page that you wrote at the first sitting--that is, what you first recorded in the book on the first occasion you wrote in it.
