Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Dulles.

Was that FBI or Secret Service interpreter?

Mr. Oswald.

To the best of my memory, sir, that was Mr. Lee Gopadze of the United States Secret Service.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Mr. Gopadze was participating in the interview?

Mr. Oswald.

That is right.

Mr. Dulles.

But only as interpreter.

Mr. Oswald.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you have an opinion as to whether Marina was or is involved in any plot or conspiracy in connection with this affair?

Mr. Oswald.

May I have the first part of that question again?
(The reporter read the question.)

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I do not.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you have an opinion to the contrary? That is, that she is not?

Mr. Oswald.

I am of the opinion, sir, that she is not involved in any conspiracy or was involved in any way with the event that took place on November 22, 1963.

Mr. Jenner.

Thank you.

Mr. Dulles.

Could I ask a question there?
Do you have any opinion as to whether any American security service, Secret Service, FBI, CIA, were in any way involved in any conspiracy or plot or otherwise involved in this whole affair?

Mr. Oswald.

Sir, you are asking me of my opinion?

Mr. Dulles.

Only your opinion, yes--obviously if you have information or any evidence we would like to have it.

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I do not have any evidence or information along that line. I do have an opinion, sir, qualified to this extent. That it is very difficult for me to feel that Lee Harvey Oswald acted entirely on his own without any assistance whatsoever.
Now, whether this assistance was from my--from any member of any government agency, or just individuals, I do not know. I do feel like he had assistance of one nature or another, sir.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Robert, that does not answer Mr. Dulles' question. And I want you to answer his question fully.

Mr. Dulles.

My question was really directed toward any security agency of the United States Government.

Mr. Mckenzie.

If I may state your question, Mr. Dulles, to Mr. Oswald--his question was whether or not any security agency of the United States Government, whether it be the FBI, the Secret Service, the CIA, or any Government agency, had any part in a conspiracy or plot dealing with the events of November 22, and what your opinion is concerning the same.

Mr. Dulles.

That is correctly stated.

Mr. Oswald.

All right.
I would correct my answer to this extent, sir. I would be of the opinion that no agency of the United States Government was in any way involved with the assassination of the President of the United States on November 22, 1963. Does that answer the question?

Mr. Jenner.

Or in any way involved with your brother's, Lee Harvey Oswald. Would you go that far?

Mr. Oswald.

When we say involved, sir--excluding the interviews that I am aware of and so forth. Yes, sir; I would be of that opinion.

Mr. Dulles.

To which you have testified with regard to the FBI and the Immigration and Naturalization.

Mr. Oswald.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you elaborate further, please, when you first undertook to answer Mr. Dulles question--you made some references to an opinion on your part that your brother, Lee Harvey Oswald, must have had some assistance.
Would you please state what you had in mind there? Assistance with what, sir?

Mr. Oswald.

My opinion on that, sir, would be that, concluding that Lee
