Mr. Ford.

her to learn English and I had heard later that Lee Oswald resented this, he didn't want her to learn English.

Mr. Liebeler.

When did you hear that?

Mr. Ford.

That was back in 1962. I can't remember the specific time, but--

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you have any conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Harris at the party at your place on the 28th of December?

Mr. Ford.

Oh, yes; I had conversations with them.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you hear of an incident where Mrs. Harris was trying to teach English to Marina at the party and certain American customs and Oswald objected to it?

Mr. Ford.

I didn't observe it. She may have tried to teach her some American customs. I don't remember hearing Oswald say anything about it, Lee Oswald say anything about it.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did Mrs. Harris say anything about it to you?

Mr. Ford.

Not that I can remember.

Mr. Liebeler.

So you have no knowledge of that incident if it occurred at all?

Mr. Ford.

No. It seems to me I have heard somebody else mention this but I did not see it or hear anything myself.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now, after the party on the 28th of December that was held at your house, when was the next contact that you had with either one of the Oswalds?

Mr. Ford.

Well, I heard a few times or my wife had heard something about Marina living in Irving, but never actually saw either one of them until after the assassination. Then the first contact we had with Marina was, I believe, my wife tried to get in touch with her, either invite her to come to my house or to tell her that once things had been cleared up, the investigation had been cleared up, to feel free to come by, and let her know she still had friends.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did anybody suggest to you shortly after the assassination that Marina should come and live with you?

Mr. Ford.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you ever express any hesitancy to anyone in connection with any suggestion that Marina should come and live with you?

Mr. Ford.

I don't remember ever expressing it. If somebody had mentioned it the afternoon or next day after the assassination I probably would have been a little bit hesitant about it. But I don't remember saying anything to anybody.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did there come a time when Marina moved into your home after the assassination?

Mr. Ford.

Yes; but this was in February of this year.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you express any hesitancy at that time?

Mr. Ford.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

And you don't recall expressing any immediately after the assassination or before?

Mr. Ford.

No. I don't remember talking to anybody at all about it. I mean the first few days immediately after the assassination, I don't recall saying anything to anybody about it, where she was going to live at my house or anybody else's.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you ever have any conversations with Mr. Jim Martin on that subject?

Mr. Ford.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now prior to the time that Marina came to live in your home, your wife has testified she talked to Marina on the telephone several times and that Marina came to visit on two or three occasions, two occasions, I believe, at your home.

Mr. Ford.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you talk to your wife about what Marina had said during your wife's visits with Marina?

Mr. Ford.

When she came to visit us in our home?

Mr. Liebeler.

Yes.

Mr. Ford.

I talked to her about what she had talked to Marina, and I couldn't carry on much of a conversation with Marina myself because she didn't speak
