(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)
Mr. Mckenzie.
representing or working with the Commission see fit to be in Dallas in the course of the investigation of the Commission, with a little notice Mr. Oswald will be glad to appear and talk with them at any time.
Mr. Dulles.
Thank you.
And it is, of course, possible that we might wish to recall you. I am not at all sure, and I hope that will not be necessary. But we always have to reserve that for the Commission.
Mr. Jenner.
There may be other witnesses who will say things upon which we would like your testimony.
For the period recorded in the memorandum, and the events recorded in the memorandum, the recordings are full and complete, is that correct?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
And if you wish, or should determine to add to it, it will be with respect to matters that have occurred subsequently to those events recorded in the memorandum?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir, that is correct.
Mr. Mckenzie.
With one exception, Mr. Jenner. In the event there is some recollection or something that is recalled to his mind, he would likewise add that to the memorandum.
Mr. Dulles.
I will direct that a photostat of Commission's Exhibit 323 describing the events of November 22, 1963, and immediately following days insofar as concerns the witness be incorporated in the record at this point.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 323 for identification and received in evidence.)
Mr. Jenner.
Have you spoken to any member of the Dutz Murret family in New Orleans since November 22, 1963?
Mr. Oswald.
I have not.
Mr. Jenner.
What knowledge do you have as to the cause of the split between your sister-in-law, Marina, and Ruth Paine?
Mr. Oswald.
The cause of that split, sir----
Mr. Jenner.
What knowledge do you have of the split, first?
Mr. Oswald.
Full knowledge of the split, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Will you tell us about it? What led to it and----
Mr. Oswald.
Under my advice to Marina Oswald I requested that she sever all connections with Mr. and Mrs. Paine.
Mr. Jenner.
When did you give that advice and make that request?
Mr. Oswald.
At the Inn of the Six Flags.
Mr. Jenner.
Was this the same occasion about which you have already testified, and which consideration was being given, to whether your sister-in-law Marina would reside with the Martins rather than with the Paines?
Mr. Oswald.
This was the first occasion, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
I take it then from your present testimony, just answering my present questions, that the discussion went beyond the question whether Marina would reside with the Paines as distinguished from the Martins, and when I say beyond, it went to the question of whether Marina would have anything to do with the Paines thereafter.
Am I correct?
Mr. Oswald.
Not fully, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Will you please explain?
Mr. Oswald.
To the extent that the question arose whether or not after our first agreement that she would not live with the Paines, that question never has been brought up again. The question has come up from Mrs. Marina Oswald. The time I fix this second query or inquiry from her was approximately December 20 or 21, 1963, at which time we were advised that Mrs. Paine had written her a letter or letters requesting that she contact Mrs. Paine.
Mr. Jenner.
What was the date?
Mr. Oswald.
Approximately December 20 or December 21.
Mr. Jenner.
Marina advised you that Mrs. Ruth Paine had written her.
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Had written her, Marina?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
