Mr. Dulles.

over this general period--that is, the period of your brother's stay in the Soviet Union, or his prospective return here?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; at no time was I aware of any member of the State Department being in contact with me.
And I might further add that at this particular time, after the Immigration and Naturalization agent was there, including my prior testimony as to the contacts with the FBI Bureau, these were the only times prior to his arrival I was in contact with any Government agency.

Mr. Jenner.

Any agency of the Government of the United States?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; that is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, were you consciously in contact during any of that period up to November 22, 1963, with any agent or agency of any other government?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I was not. And I might further add that no one else other than perhaps my close friends inquired as to my contact with Lee Harvey Oswald during that period.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. You have related to us an incident of your brother being interviewed by the FBI, and he reporting back to you either that evening or that same day of that interview. That is the one in which your brother reported to you that inquiry had been made of him as to whether he was an agent of any agency of the United States, and you responded--I have forgotten now just how You phrased it.

Mr. Oswald.

"Well, don't you know, sir?"

Mr. Jenner.

Now, in addition to that particular occasion, were there any instances in which you were directly advised or advised by your brother or by Mrs. Vada Oswald of any other interviews by any agent of the United States Government with your brother, after his return from Russia?

Mr. Oswald.

I believe, sir, to the best of my remembrance on that question; that I was advised by Lee Harvey Oswald, after he and his wife took up residence on Mercedes Street in Fort Worth, that the FBI had contacted him and held an interview with Lee Harvey Oswald in their car in front of their apartment on Mercedes Street.

Mr. Jenner.

When you say in their car, you mean the automobile of the agents?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And was that approximately the middle of October--I mean the middle of August?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; it would have been approximately the middle of August 1962.

Mr. Jenner.

Your brother reported that to you, did he?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; he did.

Mr. Jenner.

Is that the first information you had about it--that is, did it come through your brother initially to you?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I had indication from Mr. Fain, when he called me at my office, inquiring as to where Lee was residing at that time, that they did want to speak to him.

Mr. Jenner.

I See.
And I take it, then, that Mr. Fain had called you at your office, as you testified yesterday, shortly before this interview took place with your brother.

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you inquire of your brother about it, or did he volunteer it?

Mr. Oswald.

He volunteered the information, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

I have forgotten now.
Have I had you recite what your brother said to you about it?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir: you have not.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you please state that--and who was present when your brother related this to you?

Mr. Oswald.

To the best of my remembrance of that occasion, sir, it was in the presence of my brother, myself, and his wife, Marina N. Oswald.

Mr. Jenner.

In their home, or your home?

Mr. Oswald.

In their home, on Mercedes Street either the afternoon or the following day of the interview. And he just simply stated to me, sir, that
