(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)

Martin's offer to her with me in the presence of two Secret Service agents at lunch on that day, Wednesday, November 27, 1963. At the end of that discussion, I considered in my own mind for a number of hours, perhaps three or four hours, at which time I spoke to Marina N. Oswald.

Mr. Jenner.
At the Six Flags?
Mr. Oswald.
At the Inn of the Six Flags, in a motel room.
Mr. Jenner.
Anybody else present?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mr. Oswald.
They were present in the room, but we were in a separate room.
Mr. Jenner.
They didn't take part in the discussion?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct.
At which time I pointed out Mr. Martin to Marina Oswald, and related to her as best I could at that time his offer to take Marina into his home, and the children into his home.
Mr. Jenner.
Let me interrupt you.
You say you pointed out Mr. Martin to your sister-in-law, Marina?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
I take it--am I correct from that that she had not become acquainted with him?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir, I believe she had, but at that time she had seen so many people come in and out of there, that she did not remember which man was Mr. Martin.
And, at this time, I did point out Mr. Martin, so that she would know him from then on.
Mr. Jenner.
Was any question raised about her residing at the home of a person who was a complete stranger to her? And about whom you knew little or nothing?
Mr. Oswald.
At this time I was considering this, and I believe this was my attempt to have Marina consider this, of moving into a home with a complete strange family.
Mr. Jenner.
In other words, you were raising a question in your own mind on the subject?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Up to that time of Mr. Martin's offer, not recalling anybody that I stated it to--I assumed it my full responsibility to have Marina and her children move into my home in Denton, Texas.
Mr. Jenner.
Had you suggested that to her?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Or to anybody else?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Had the suggestion been made to you?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir, it had not.
Mr. Dulles.
Was going back to the Paines in the picture at that time?
Mr. Oswald.
To some extent, and that was excluded entirely by me, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
For what reason?
Mr. Oswald.
For my observations of Mr. and Mrs. Paine at the Dallas police office, as previously testified.
Mr. Jenner.
The antipathy to them that arose, or that you had when you met Mr. Paine, and Mrs. Paine that evening?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
Did Marina say anything to you on the subject of her desire or possibility of her residing--returning to reside with the Paines?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir, she did.
Mr. Jenner.
And what did she say on that subject?
Mr. Oswald.
That she thought she could go back up to Mr. and Mrs. Paine and live.
Mr. Jenner.
Did she indicate that that would be entirely acceptable to her?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Even desirable to her?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And what was your response to that?
