Mr. Oswald.

by the decision of the Commission which is now known as the Warren Committee.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Have you ever sought to elaborate or give any statement to the press at any time?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I have not.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Do you recall any statements made by Marina N. Oswald expressing sympathy for President's family?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I do.

Mr. Mckenzie.

And if you will, state the source of your recollection and where the statement was made, and if she has ever made any statement to that effect to yourself.

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; she did make a statement directly to myself. To the best of my recollection, this was first done on Monday, November 25, 1963, at the Inn of the Six Flags, at Arlington, Tex., as Marina and myself observed the beginning of the funeral for the President of the United States.

Mr. Mckenzie.

And was there anyone else present at that time?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; there were other people in the room. Whether or not they overheard our conversation, I do not know, sir.

Mr. Dulles.

You observed that on television, I gather?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Were there any Secret Service agents there at that time?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Were they in the room with you and Marina Oswald?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; they were.

Mr. Mckenzie.

And did they overhear any expressions of sympathy which she might have said?

Mr. Oswald.

It is possible that they did, sir.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Have you ever testified in a lawsuit or given a deposition before a Court reporter prior to your appearance before this Commission?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I have not.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Now, you have testified that you have not given any statements to the press other than the statement to the effect that you would abide with and be satisfied with the report of this Commission.
Since arriving in Washington, and since you have been sworn under oath before the Commission, have you given any statement to the press, other than saying goodnight, or good afternoon, or good morning?

Mr. Oswald.

I believe at one time I did say thank you. Other than that, sir, I have not.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Now, have you read an article here in the New York Times of Saturday, February 22, 1964, on page 22 of the first section, entitled, "Russian training of Oswald hinted"?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I have.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Do you know Mr. Anthony Lewis?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; I do not.

Mr. Mckenzie.

All right, sir. Have you ever talked with Mr. Lewis?

Mr. Oswald.

No, sir; not to my knowledge.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Now, you have testified this afternoon following our lunch break that you visited Lee Oswald in the Dallas County Jail. Do you recall that testimony--the testimony of just a few minutes ago?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I do.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Have you previously testified to that before the Commission, to your recollection?

Mr. Oswald.

To my recollection, I believe we at least touched on that during our first session on February 20, 1963.

Mr. Mckenzie.

When you were in the jail--and I believe it is in the sixth floor of the Dallas County Jail--I mean the Dallas City Jail--talking with your brother, Lee Harvey Oswald, did you ask him at that time if he had committed the crime?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I had.

Mr. Mckenzie.

You did ask him that question?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I did.
