(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Did Marina and your mother stay at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas?
Mr. Oswald.
In what period?
Mr. Jenner.
Before they moved to the Executive House?
Mr. Dulles.
Right after November 22--maybe the night of November 22. I think they had a room and moved out.
Mr. Jenner.
I thought the witness referred to the Adolphus Hotel yesterday.
Mr. Mckenzie.
He has not referred to the Adolphus Hotel.
Mr. Oswald.
I believe that is right.
My first occasion to meet with my mother and Marina Oswald on November 23, 1963----
Mr. Jenner.
That is a Saturday.
Mr. Oswald.
Was at the Adolphus Hotel, rather than the Baker Hotel, as noted in my notes on page 10, in my diary.
Mr. Jenner.
I had noted that, Mr. Oswald. And would you identify the page to which you have reference now?
Mr. Oswald.
Page 10, Sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Page 10 of your memorandum?
Mr. Oswald.
That is right. And I might point out at the time I wrote it down in parens--"I believe. In other words, my statement was "I received a call from mother while at the DA's office, and she advised she was at the Baker Hotel--I believe."
Mr. Jenner.
And your recollection has now been refreshed that it was the Adolphus Hotel rather than the Baker Hotel?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I am of the opinion now it was the Adolphus Hotel rather than the Baker Hotel.
Mr. Jenner.
And then the next day they were moved to or themselves moved to Executive House.
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; that is not correct. They were moved later on, on Saturday, November 23, 1963, to the Executive Inn.
Mr. Jenner.
Executive Inn that is called?
Mr. OSWALD, Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Rather than Executive House?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; that is right.
Mr. Jenner.
They went from the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas to the Executive Inn.
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir. That is my understanding, that they did.
Mr. Jenner.
I see.
Mr. Dulles.
Were those quarters, as far as you recall, retained for the Life people, Life, Time, Fortune people?
Mr. Oswald.
In my conversation with my mother on Saturday, November 23, while I was at the district attorney's office in Dallas, Tex., she related to me at that time that they had furnished her and Marina Oswald and the babies three rooms at the Adolphus Hotel, and that Life magazine was paying for these rooms, and that they could keep these rooms as they wanted--as long as they wanted to be close to Lee and the situation that was erupting in Dallas, Tex. at this time.
Mr. Jenner.
I see.
Did you, during this period of time, have occasion to visit them at the Adolphus Hotel?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Jenner.
And is that recorded in your memorandum.
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; it is.
Mr. Jenner.
Then I don't wish to burden the record by asking you about it again.
Did you have occasion to visit them at the Executive Inn?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Jenner.
And is that recorded in your memorandum?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; it is. it is.
Mr. Jenner.
Identify the page, please.
Mr. Oswald.
That begins on page 14, at the bottom of the page, under the date of Sunday, November 24, 1963.
