Mr. Oswald.

recall that on two occasions we received gifts from Russia at my address in Fort Worth, Tex. I believe the first one consisted of Russian cigarettes, Russian candy, six place mats or six napkins that Marina had embroidered herself.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Or at least what they told you Marina had embroidered.

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir. And also a Russian wooden doll, the type that pops open in the middle and has a smaller doll on the inside and so forth down the line until you end up with one approximately an inch high from one originating from one six or seven inches high. That was the first package that I recall receiving from Lee and his wife while they were in Russia.

Mr. Jenner.

Approximately when was that?

Mr. Oswald.

Prior to Christmas of 1961.

Mr. Jenner.

There was a second occasion when you received a package?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir, that is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

What was that?

Mr. Oswald.

This was closer to Christmas of 1961.

Mr. Jenner.

And it contained what?

Mr. Oswald.

It contained one Russian children's book.

Mr. Jenner.

In the Russian language or in English?

Mr. Oswald.

In the Russian language, sir, and going by the cover of the book and as you open the book in the center section, a Russian rocket ship would unfold and be standing in the launch position, and was quite evident by the pictures, at least in the book, that this was a book for Russian children depicting the Russian efforts toward their space program.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you still have that book?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I do. And there was also another children's book, and I believe this package only consisted of a present for Cathy Marie Oswald for Christmas, 1961 from her aunt and uncle, Lee and Marina.

Mr. Jenner.

A child's gift?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir, and the second book was a child's coloring book, a Russian coloring book.

Mr. Jenner.

Does that exhaust your recollection as to gifts you received from them or from Lee while they were in Russia?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir, it does.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he ever send you a pair of boots?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir, he did not. And I might add we also still have the child's coloring book that was received at that time for Christmas, 1961.

Mr. Jenner.

All right, sir.
Now, would you please relate to us everything that your brother Lee told you about hunting in Russia?

Mr. Mckenzie.

You mean other than in correspondence?

Mr. Jenner.

I mean other than by the correspondence. I should precede that by the question did you have any conversation with him about hunting in Russia?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir, I did.

Mr. Jenner.

And that occurred after he returned to the United States?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Fix the approximate date.

Mr. Oswald.

Approximately the latter part of June, 1962.

Mr. Jenner.

While he was residing in your home?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

What did he say? Excuse me, this occurred in your home?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; it did.

Mr. Jenner.

Was anyone present other than yourself and your brother?

Mr. Oswald.

Perhaps Marina and my wife Vada. As I best remember the conversation, since our interest in hunting was mutual, that he had on two or three occasions gone bird hunting or duck hunting and that he had killed some birds and some ducks on two or three of these occasions that he had gone in, that he had only used a shotgun, that they were not allowed to have a rifle.

Mr. Jenner.

Was there any discussion of that subject matter on any other occasion prior to November 22, 1963?

Mr. Oswald.

I believe in his letters.

Mr. Jenner.

No, discussions.
