Mrs. Oswald.

I have already said that he would translate articles which were good, but he would not comment on them.

Mr. Rankin.

Can you recall----

Mrs. Oswald.

Excuse me. At least when I found out that Lee had shot at the President, for me this was surprising. And I didn't believe it. I didn't believe for a long time that Lee had done that. That he had wanted to kill Kennedy--because perhaps Walker was there again, perhaps he wanted to kill him.

Mr. Rankin.

Why did you not believe this?

Mrs. Oswald.

Because I had never heard anything bad about Kennedy from Lee. And he never had anything against him.

Mr. Rankin.

But you also say that he never said anything about him.

Mrs. Oswald.

He read articles which were favorable.

Mr. Rankin.

Did he say he approved of those articles?

Mrs. Oswald.

No, he didn't say anything. Perhaps he did reach his own conclusions reading these articles, but he didn't tell me about them.

Mr. Rankin.

So apparently he didn't indicate any approval or disapproval as far as he was concerned, of President Kennedy?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, that is correct. The President is the President. In my opinion, he never wanted to overthrow him. At least he never showed me that. He never indicated that he didn't want that President.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you observe that his acts on November 21st the evening before the assassination, were anything like they were the evening before the Walker incident?

Mrs. Oswald.

Absolutely nothing in common.

Mr. Rankin.

Did he say anything at all that would indicate he was contemplating the assassination?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.

Mr. Rankin.

Did he discuss the television programs he saw that evening with you?

Mrs. Oswald.

He was looking at TV by himself. I was busy in the kitchen. At one time when we were when I was together with him they showed some sort of war films, from World War II. And he watched them with interest.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you recall films that he saw called "Suddenly," and "We were Strangers" that involved assassinations?

Mrs. Oswald.

I don't remember the names of these films. If you would remind me of the contents, perhaps I would know.

Mr. Rankin.

Well, "Suddenly," was about the assassination of a president, and the other was about the assassination of a Cuban dictator.

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes, Lee saw those films.

Mr. Rankin.

Did he tell you that he had seen them?

Mrs. Oswald.

I was with him when he watched them.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you recall about when this was with reference to the date of the assassination?

Mrs. Oswald.

It seems that this was before Rachel's birth.

Mr. Rankin.

Weeks or months? Can you recall that?

Mrs. Oswald.

Several days. Some five days.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you discuss the films after you had seen them with your husband?

Mrs. Oswald.

One film about the assassination of the president in Cuba, which I had seen together with him, he said that this was a fictitious situation, but that the content of the film was similar to the actual situation which existed in Cuba, meaning the revolution in Cuba.

Mr. Rankin.

Did either of you comment on either film being like the attempt on Walker's life?

Mrs. Oswald.

No. I didn't watch the other film.

Mr. Rankin.

Was anything said by your husband about how easy an assassination could be committed like that?

Mrs. Oswald.

No. I only know that he watched the film with interest, but I didn't like it.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you recall anything else he said about either of these films?
