(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)

Mr. Dulles.
I would like to get your impression of that, what he might have said to you on that subject.
Mr. Oswald.
All right.
I do recall a conversation at my home in Fort Worth, Tex., between myself and Lee Harvey Oswald----
Mr. Jenner.
Fix the time, please.
Mr. Oswald.
Approximately the middle part of June 1962, at which the subject was brought up by him about his efforts to have the corrected to an honorable discharge, and that again he advised me that had written to the then Secretary of the Navy, John B. Connally, and Connally, or his office had replied that he was no longer the Secretary, of the Navy, and that he had turned over the correspondence to the then Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Korth, I believe.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Mr. Fred Korth.
Mr. Oswald.
I do not recall any further discussion on that subject. And he did not indicate to me the pro or con of any antipathy toward Mr. Connally.
Mr. Dulles.
He expressed no antipathy?
Mr. Jenner.
As a person?
Mr. Oswald.
As a person, he did not make any comment, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And did he at any time, apart from this particular event you are now relating, at any time prior to November 22, 1963, ever express any antipathy toward Governor Connally as a person?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; he did not.
Mr. Dulles.
Did you ever hear Marina Oswald express any views about President Kennedy one way or the other?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I do not recall at any time that she has expressed any views on Mr. Kennedy.
Mr. Dulles.
Do you recall at any time that Lee Harvey Oswald expressed antipathy to government in general, people in authority, leaders?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I do not recall.
Mr. Dulles.
Did he express any--apart from the letters, what he said in his letters to you, which we have--but after he returned from the Soviet Union, and during the period you saw him, subsequent to his return, did he ever discuss with you the failures of government, that government itself was not good, or if the kind of government we had in the United States was not good, as was expressed to some extent in the letters?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I do not recall at any time other than in his letters during the period of the latter part of 1959, at any time that he made any derogatory remarks about any official or any particular leader or the government of the United States.
Mr. Dulles.
And that statement would include General Walker, would it?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; it most certainly would.
Mr. Dulles.
He never discussed General Walker with you?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I never heard him mention the gentleman's name.
Mr. Dulles.
Did your brother have any sort of pet hatreds, institutions, people or otherwise, that he disliked, apart from what he said in his letters?
I am talking now of the period after his return from Russia.
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; to my knowledge he did not.
Mr. Dulles.
I have nothing further at this time. I may have one last question at the end.
Do you wish to follow up on any of these points?
Mr. Jenner.
No; not right at the moment.
Would you take your diary. There are one or two items that I would like to clear up.
Page 1--you speak of the old Denton plant and the new Denton plant. Would you please locate those plants?
Mr. Oswald.
They are both located at Denton, Tex., and they are located approximately a mile apart, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And they are the plants of the Acme Brick Co. by whom you are employed?
Mr. Oswald.
That is right.
