Mr. Jenner.

entitled "Affidavits and Statements Taken in Connection with the Assassination of the President," which has been supplied to me by the Dallas city police, and I direct your attention to pages 148 to 157. And I ask you whether those pages are familiar to you as being either all or a part of what you now describe as notes prepared by Lee Oswald on his trip or life in Russia?

Mr. Taylor.

Can we go off the record and let me look at this a minute? It will be a minute, because I only looked at part of this thing.
(Witness peruses document page by page.)

Mr. Jenner.

Have you examined those pages, which arc a photostatic copy of what purports to be a draft by Lee Harvey Oswald of various stages of his life, including time in Russia, in the Marines, the period in New Orleans, and what not?

Mr. Taylor.

Those are not the same pages of which I was speaking.

Mr. Jenner.

I should advise you, Mr. Taylor, that they are incomplete. That is, we are advised that there are other sheets which we don't happen to have. I could ask you this: Was it on the type of paper which is indicated in these photostats--that is, lined, 8 by 11 1/2 sheets?

Mr. Taylor.

No.

Mr. Jenner.

It was not?

Mr. Taylor.

No; it was not.

Mr. Jenner.

Was it ringed notebook paper?

Mr. Taylor.

No; it was not.

Mr. Jenner.

Are you familiar with Lee Oswald's handwriting?

Mr. Taylor.

No; I am not.

Mr. Jenner.

Was this material you saw in his handwriting or was it typed?

Mr. Taylor.

I would not know--this material? I'm sorry. I was thinking about----

Mr. Jenner.

The material that you saw, was that in his handwriting?

Mr. Taylor.

It was typed.

Mr. Jenner.

It was typed?

Mr. Taylor.

It was typed---on white paper.

Mr. Jenner.

Plain white paper?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

I interrupted you because you had mentioned something he showed you. Now, would you please go on?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes; and the occasion for this visit that I was talking about was to return what has been discussed as a manuscript. And I had had this in my possession from the time Marina had been staying with us. I had asked him for it then and intended to read it. I did not ever read it fully. I read a page or two of it---of which my recollection is very dim. I remember almost nothing about it except that it seemed to be in a narrative style and was about his experiences in Russia.

Mr. Jenner.

What impression did you have as to spelling, grammer, or content? Was it the writing of an educated man, or was it sophomoric in character, or do you have any impression about it?

Mr. Taylor.

I don't have any impression--having read so little of it such a long time ago.

Mr. Jenner.

Well, you went to see him to return this manuscript?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Where was he living?

Mr. Taylor.

He was still living on Elsbeth.

Mr. Jenner.

And you reached their apartment, did you?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Was she home?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes, she was.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you visit with them on that occasion?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes; I did. I was treated as a very welcome guest. I assumed, at the time, that the reason for that was I was probably the only guest they had had--or at least certainly that guests were unusual, and that I was very welcome. As a matter of fact, almost immediately after I arrived, Marina left and walked some two and a half blocks to a doughnut shop and bought some doughnuts and returned.
