(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
The children of Lee and Marina?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Mckenzie.
The child. There was only one at that time.
Mr. Jenner.
That is right, the child June. Anyone else?
Mr. Oswald.
The children of John and Marge Pic.
Mr. Jenner.
But your mother did not attend the dinner?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Had you invited her?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I had not.
Mr. Jenner.
As far as you know, she was unaware of it?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; that is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
Was any comment made that she was not present, about the fact that she was not present at the dinner?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; there was not:
Mr. Jenner.
Was anything said about what your brother Lee was doing by way of employment in Dallas?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; there was.
Mr. Jenner.
What was said, and by whom?
Mr. Oswald.
I feel like I had asked Lee what he was doing at that particular time, and his reply to me was that he was working for a traffic outfit in Dallas, the name of which I do not recall. However, he did state the name of the firm. I do not recall the name of the firm. And that it was to him very interesting work. He thought that he could perhaps learn this type of work and progress in it quite ably.
Mr. Dulles.
How did he appear to you mentally and physically on this occasion of the Thanksgiving dinner?
Mr. Oswald.
Very fit physically and very alert mentally.
Mr. Jenner.
Discussion on that day occurred between you and your half-brother, John Pie, did it not, respecting your brother Lee's un-American beliefs?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; it did.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you relate that discussion between yourself--was it confined to a discussion between yourself and John Pic?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; it was.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you raise the subject?
Mr. Oswald.
I believe I did, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
You were concerned about his un-American beliefs were you not?
Mr. Oswald.
I was not concerned about them. I wanted to state to John, since he had not been in contact with Lee when Lee was in Russia, or when he was at my home in Fort Worth, that this conversation took place.
Mr. Jenner.
You state it.
Mr. Dulles.
Was John present?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Dulles.
He was present.
Mr. Mckenzie.
It was to John.
Mr. Dulles.
Was he present?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; he was not. I was about to say that this conversation took place on our way from my house to the bus station to pick up Lee, Marina and June the morning of Thanksgiving 1962. I do not recall the circumstances preceding this particular point of why I brought it up other than I do recall mentioning that the FBI had talked to Lee and apparently that everything was all right because they were not proceeding to discuss with him at any length and they were not holding him for any reason, so I assumed that everything was all right in that respect.
Mr. Jenner.
I see.
Have you exhausted your present recollection of that conversation?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I have.
Mr. Dulles.
How did you know that the FBI had talked with Lee?
Mr. Oswald.
Lee had told me and I was aware that they had called my house and requested Lee to come down to their office in Fort Worth and talk with them
