Mr. Dulles.

might have come without a clear address or indication as to for whom they were intended as between herself and Marina?

Mr. Oswald.

No. sir; she has not.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, Mr. Oswald, when your brother returned from Russia, was there ever an occasion, to the time of his death, when he discussed with you the subject as to why he had returned from Russia? This is, apart from the correspondence. Did you ever have a discussion with him on that subject, or he with you, or a discussion that occurred in your presence?

Mr. Oswald.

None, sir, that I recall.

Mr. Jenner.

None whatsoever?

Mr. Oswald.

None.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, is that likewise true of your sister-in-law? Did she ever discuss it in your presence, or with you?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; at no time has she.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you ever inquire of either of them on that subject?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I do not recall at any time discussing it.

Mr. Jenner.

Nor were you present at any time when anyone else ever inquired of either of them on that subject, up to and including November 23, 1963?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I was not.

Mr. Jenner.

I take it from previous questions that you have no knowledge of Marina ever having had a black eye or being otherwise molested or beaten by your brother, or anyone else.

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

Were members of your family together, including Marina, to celebrate, to the extent it might have been celebrated, Christmas of 1963?

Mr. Oswald.

Christmas of 1963, sir?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Oswald.

I am sorry--I misinterpreted that.
Christmas of 1963--Christmas Eve of 1963 my wife and I and my children traveled from our home in Denton to the Martin's residence in Dallas, Texas, and spent Christmas Eve, or the biggest part of that day, with Marina.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you remain over to Christmas Day?

Mr. Oswald.

No. sir; we did not.

Mr. Jenner.

Was your mother present on Christmas Eve while you were there?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; she was not.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you know whether she was invited to attend?

Mr. Oswald.

No. sir; she was not.

Mr. Jenner.

As far as you know, she didn't know you were attending there on Christmas Eve, is that correct?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Was there any discussion that occurred during the time of your visit on Christmas Eve, 1963, of your mother? Was she mentioned?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; she was not.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you have an opinion as to whether the Secret Service kept your sister-in-law Marina secluded against her will following November 22, 1963?

Mr. Oswald.

I have an opinion, sir, that they did not keep her secluded.

Mr. Jenner.

Then you do not--all right.
Representative Ford is particularly concerned as to how stable a person your mother is, which would be of interest, of course, I must tell you, to the Commission, in judging the weight they might give to her testimony. And while I did ask you some questions on that subject this afternoon, would you give us your opinion on that?

Mr. Oswald.

I believe, sir, I would refer to-my prior testimony on that.

Mr. Jenner.

Nothing has occurred since that you would seek to elaborate upon that?

Mr. Oswald.

Perhaps one thing, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.
