Mr. Glover.

that they passed on him, or he was harmless, or he was something, suggesting that he was all right, he said, from their point of view.

Mr. Jenner.

That is, De Mohrenschildt says in this letter that he made an inquiry of the FBI and the FBI reassured him?

Mr. Glover.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

That is, Oswald was all right?

Mr. Glover.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

I don't want to put words in your mouth. I want you to, by your recollection of what was stated, repeat it again so that it is not in my words.

Mr. Glover.

Yes. Well, I did get the impression from what I recall of his letter, that he had checked with the FBI, and I remember he stated specifically in the letter, either in Fort Worth or Dallas, about Oswald, and they told him that he was apparently all right, he was acceptable. They passed on him in some way. I don't remember the exact way he put it. It is in the letter.

Mr. Jenner.

Had you had any discussion with De Mohrenschildt on that subject on or about the time of your meeting the Oswalds?

Mr. Glover.

When I got this letter, it reminded me that at one time when they were first talking about putting Marina somewhere, getting her to go somewhere, that he had made some remark to the same effect, that he had some people who were very dubious of the situation, they didn't want to have anything to do with the people, and he told them he checked with the FBI and they were all right, or words to that effect.

Mr. Jenner.

You used an expression a few minutes ago that apparently you made a mistake. Do you recall that?

Mr. Glover.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

In this connection, what do you mean by that?

Mr. Glover.

I referred directly to one thing, I made the mistake of assuming that a man in his situation---of assuming that, because this man had the history of having been in Russia, apparently, and had brought his Russian wife with him, and so forth, that the FBI would know all about it, and although I was very much perplexed by him, I felt that he must be not a dangerous person. I don't think the FBI thought he was as dangerous as he was, and I think I made a mistake when I assumed that they could know that he was harmless. I assumed that the FBI would know about such a person, and in having this conversation with them, they said, of course they are not able to do that.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you have any contact with the FBI prior to November 22, 1963, concerning the Oswalds, or either of them?

Mr. Glover.

I did not.

Mr. Jenner.

Did they--they didn't interview you, and you made no calls or had any contact with them?

Mr. Glover.

That's right.

Mr. Jenner.

What was your impression of Oswald on this first occasion that you met him?

Mr. Glover.

Well, I didn't get too much of an impression. I didn't really talk to him very much.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you get an impression of him being a man of education, or lack of it?

Mr. Glover.

I certainly got the impression that he was someone who had a fairly lowly background and didn't have very much in his life.

Mr. Jenner.

Very much in his life in the way of material things?

Mr. Glover.

Yes; I would say so.
Mr. JENNER, Or very much in the way of an education?

Mr. Glover.

Material, educational, and spiritual.

Mr. Jenner.

Spiritual or education or material?

Mr. Glover.

That is the impression I got, but it's hard to put that down as an impression of this first meeting exactly. My impression does not come very much from the first meeting where I did not talk to him very much. Subsequently talking with Schmidt and the subsequent meeting at my house and talking with the other people, my impression comes from that total rather than any detailed thing he said.

Mr. Jenner.

Then I will ask you what, as near as you can fix it, what your impression
