(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)
Mr. Jenner.
Have you related, during the course of the day and yesterday, called our attention to all of the correspondence between yourself and your brother from the time of his return to the United Slates in June of 1962 to and through November 22, 1963?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I have.
Mr. Jenner.
According to our records you and your wife, Vada, or either or both of you, had the following contacts with the FBI during the lifetime of your brother Lee. I direct your attention first, to the possibility of refreshing your recollection, to the date of April 27, 1960.
Were you interviewed by an FBI agent on that day, and would the name Fain serve to refresh your recollection on that score?
Mr. Oswald.
It certainly does, sir. I cannot recall the date of our interview or our conversation.
Mr. Jenner.
This would be in the spring, let us say, of 1060. I have given you the date. Does that sound right to you, April 27, 1960.
Mr. Oswald.
It sounds approximately right, sir, because I do recall I just started my employment with the Acme Brick Company in Fort Worth on the 18th of April, 1960.
I do not believe that it was that close to my date of employment with the Acme Brick Company. I feel like it would have been perhaps 20 or 30 days later.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Subject to that, do you recall the interview, is the name familiar to you as being the gentleman who interviewed you?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; that is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
And what inquiries did Mr. Fain make of you? What subject matter, first.
Mr. Oswald.
He was inquiring as to whether or not I had heard from my brother Lee Harvey Oswald recently, I believe that is the way it was put.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he at that time inquire of you on the subject matter of your brother's defection?
Mr. Oswald.
Not to my remembrance, sir.
Mr. Dulles.
By subject matter, do you mean reason?
Mr. Jenner.
Reason or the fact that he had defected or what he might have known about his defection.
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I do not believe he did.
Mr. Jenner.
He didn't discuss ,that. According to your recollection, there was no discussion of that subject?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Was the subject of the possibility of your being contacted by any Soviet officials discussed?
Mr. Oswald.
It was discussed not in the term of Soviet officials. In case any----
Mr. Jenner.
Any representative.
Mr. Oswald.
Any Communist Party member or so forth along that line contacted me, I assured him I would certainly, if necessary, take care of myself or if I had time report it to his attention.
Mr. Jenner.
You would report all contacts to the FBI either directly to Mr. Fain or some other FBI agent or office?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And you agreed to do that?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I most certainly did.
Mr. Dulles.
Have you had any other calls from the FBI officers since that date?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I have.
Mr. Jenner.
I think we will get to that.
Mr. Dulles.
Are they pertinent?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes, they are and I think I have them listed.
Was the subject of the possibility of your receiving any request by any such people for any item of personal identification of your brother discussed with Mr. Fain.
