(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)

Mr. Dulles.
Did he report to you on that conversation at all? The details of it?
Mr. Oswald.
A very small detail of it, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
What details?
Mr. Oswald.
I asked him when I returned home from work that afternoon how did it go. He said, "Just fine." He said they asked him at the last whether or not he was an agent for the United States Government. His reply was "Don't you know?"
Mr. Jenner.
You recited that yesterday.
Mr. Mckenzie.
This was testified to yesterday. It is repetition.
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you at that time say to John that the FBI had excuse me--had assured you that Lee was all right and not dangerous to our country?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I had not.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you say to John on that occasion or any other occasion that he need not worry about Lee in connection with possible danger to our country?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Jenner.
When was that?
Mr. Oswald.
This was on the same occasion on the trip to the bus station as I have so indicated, that I had assumed, since they were not holding Lee or questioning him to any frequency, because at that time they had only questioned him to my knowledge one time, that everything as far as un-American views that he expressed when he went to Russia, everything was cleared and they had no reason to hold him or suspect him of anything.
Mr. Dulles.
Did you know about the Fair Play for Cuba incident in New Orleans at this time?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I did not.
Mr. Jenner.
Did your brother Lee and Marina leave your home after Thanksgiving dinner?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; they did.
Mr. JENNER,. That same day?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you have occasion to see your brother at any time from that moment when he departed until sometime on the 22d of November 1963?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I did not.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Mr. Jenner, may I interrupt you one more time?
In response to your question, Mr. Chairman, it is my best recollection, and I may be wrong and stand to be corrected if I am wrong, that the Fair Play for Cuba or the pro-Castro leaflets that he was handing out in New Orleans was in the summer of 1963.
Mr. Dulles.
I think you may be right. Do you remember that?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes, that is correct.
Mr. Dulles.
That is correct. It had not taken place.
Mr. Mckenzie.
It had not taken place in November of 1962.
Mr. Dulles.
Right.
Mr. Mckenzie.
To the best of our knowledge.
Mr. Jenner.
Did the witness have any opportunity to respond to Any last question?
Mr. Mckenzie.
You had finished your question and I interrupted you before you could make another question.
Mr. Jenner.
You mean the witness had responded to it?
Mr. Dulles.
No; I do not think he had.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you read the pending question? (The last question was read by the reporter.)
Mr. Jenner.
Did you see Marina at any time subsequent to their departure on Thanksgiving Day, November 1962 and November 22, 1963?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I had not.
Mr. Dulles.
Did you have any telephone conversations with either of them?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I had.
Mr. Jenner.
In the interim period?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I had.
