Mr. Liebeler.

It must have been November because your recollection is she didn't move to the Oak Cliff area until November, is that right?

Mr. Bouhe.

Yes. That is a slip of the tongue.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you see Marina during the month of November 1962?

Mr. Bouhe.

I don't remember seeing her during that period of time except in moving her from Mellers to Fords. If I ran into him or her once at the De Mohrenschildt's, that is the maximum.

Mr. Liebeler.

You didn't see him at anytime when you saw Marina when she was moving from the Mellers to the Fords?

Mr. Bouhe.

Oh, no.

Mr. Liebeler.

He wasn't around at that time?

Mr. Bouhe.

No, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

A few minutes ago I asked you about your judgment of Marina Oswald's character and we had an off-the-record discussion. Would you repeat for us that discussion, the statement you made off the record at that time, and recapitulate for us your thoughts on Marina Oswald.

Mr. Bouhe.

I think she is a well brought up girl. By that I mean, from my calculation, that she had received a good care from some old person of the old regime. Religious, well mannered, and such.
She liked glitter, fun, maybe, just like any young pretty girl of that age would, probably, but I think she was also a driver and ambitious about it. Even by looking at her, I would say that in the small size you would not think she would.
And it seems to me that she followed that line by meeting Oswald, coaxing him to come to America, and so as, she told me herself, she could write a postal card to her old girl friends "watch me sail to America."

Mr. Liebeler.

You mentioned in your off-the-record discussion that you had thought to yourself isn't it possible that Marina is a great actress.

Mr. Bouhe.

There again she acts so natural that I was disarmed. But at this stage of the game, maybe I was a fool.

Mr. Liebeler.

Why do you say that, Mr. Bouhe?

Mr. Bouhe.

Maybe she is a superagent of some organization.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you have any reason to think that prior to the time of the assassination?

Mr. Bouhe.

Certainly not. Never entered into my head.

Mr. Liebeler.

But it has entered into your head since the assassination, is that correct?

Mr. Bouhe.

Well, after that, you think of anything.

Mr. Liebeler.

But there was nothing about Marina's behavior as you observed it prior to the assassination that led you to think that?

Mr. Bouhe.

Positively nothing. But we did in the Russian colony have conversations. We were repeatedly amazed at the ease with which Marina left the U.S.S.R., which we, who know the setup on the other side, is almost incredible.
American, British, and other diplomats married Russian girls and it took them years to get their wives out. And at one moment I did ask, I think, both of them.

Mr. Liebeler.

Asked who?

Mr. Bouhe.

Both of them Lee and Marina. "Well, it is certainly unusual that they let you out. How did you do it?"
It was a completely innocent question at that time.
"Well, we just went to the right office."
And they in the office said, "All right, take it away," or something to that effect in Russian.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now did you have any discussions with other friends of yours here in Dallas as to whether or not Oswald was possibly an agent of the U.S.S.R.? And I want you to confine your answer to the time prior to the assassination.

Mr. Bouhe.

The majority of our Russian background colony having suffered very much under the Soviet and Hitler rule, even after 10 and 12 or more years of good peace and comparative prosperity in this country, are still constantly on the suspicion of anything that comes from Russia.
Many of them shook heads, saying, well, I don't know, maybe he is a Soviet spy. At least I came to a conclusion, right or wrong, that the man came to
