(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)
Mr. Jenner.
during the course of the day having relation to the subject matter of the assassination of President Kennedy on that day?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I believe I do.
Mr. Jenner.
And the subsequent arrest of your brother and your visit to the City Jail?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; that is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
And is that likewise true that is a detailed recording of the course of events as you participated in them on the 23d and 24th of November?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; that is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, Mr. McKenzie has kindly asked a question that I would wish also to join in and put to you.
Having glanced through the memorandum again, or read it--is there any-thing you wish to add to any of the recordings that you have made in your notebook?
Mr. Oswald.
Well----
Mr. Jenner.
That is that you might have been stimulated during the course of the questioning yesterday and today to recall, that you did not recall at the time you made those entries?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir--not to the entries or material that is already in here. Of course this is not complete to the extent it is my intention to complete at least as fully as I possibly can the entire week out at the Inn of the Six Flags--and possibly other events that has occurred to me since that time that would be more in the nature of a personal nature than anything that perhaps the Commission would be interested in. However, I might say that any time that I do complete this, I would certainly turn it over to the Commission, if they or my attorney deemed it necessary.
Mr. Jenner.
If you elaborate further on your memorandum, as I understand, you will supply the Commission with a copy, and with your willingness also to exhibit the original of what you add to it?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Yes, sir, we shall.
Mr. Jenner.
Mr. Chairman, you have read the memorandum. It does purport to state in some detail and accuracy the course of events of the 22d, 23d, and 24th, and during that week.
Was there anything in the course of your reading that memorandum that might have led you to pose any further questions of the witness?
Mr. Dulles.
No, I think not at this time. I would have to go over it again and I will do that. But, at this time it seemed to me, as I read it, to cover the area you have indicated.
I, of course, cannot myself judge the completeness of it. But it seems to cover the points that I would have questioned the witness on if I had not had the diary available.
Mr. Jenner.
There is this feature. Mr. Liebeler and I have not examined the memorandum in depth with a view as to whether any thing said in it would stimulate us to ask further questions. I read it last night, but not with a view in mind of asking additional questions.
Mr. Dulles.
Well, I read it from the same angle. I read it during these proceedings, and, therefore, I was distracted from time to time. I think it is a very helpful memorandum from the point of view of the Commission. Do you wish to--it has been introduced in evidence.
Mr. Jenner.
It is in the record.
Mr. Dulles.
But do you wish it put in this record?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes, I would like to have it recited in full in the record. And as I recall, you agreed, Mr. Oswald, to dictate to take the memorandum and dictate it aloud on a tape, and Mr. McKenzie will forward the tape to us.
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I have so agreed.
Mr. Dulles.
And when you do forward it, would you kindly advise us at that time if there is anything on a rereading of this memorandum which you would like to supplement or add which you feel will be essential for the Commission to have, or desirable for the Commission to have?
Mr. Oswald.
I will certainly do so, sir.
Mr. Mckenzie.
And, further, Mr. Dulles, in the event that any of the attorneys
