United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. OSWALD. I think I received 36 per month--this is new rubles--at
that time it was still 360 old rubles. But I could eat there three
times a day. And then this was a lunchroom that was part of a large
restaurant where everyone liked me and I always was treated to all
sorts of tidbits and candy. I remember they had some busboys there who
always saved something for me.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you save any money while you were working before you
graduated?
Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know how to save money. I like to make presents.
Mr. RANKIN. Where did you work after you graduated?
Mrs. OSWALD. I was assigned to work in Leningrad, but my stepfather
didn't want me to remain with him because he thought perhaps he would
marry again, and, therefore, I left.
But he hasn't married up until now.
Mr. RANKIN. I hand you Exhibit 20, and ask you if you know what that is.
Mrs. OSWALD. This is my diploma. My goodness, what did they do with my
diploma?
I can't work with it. The government seal is missing. Who will give me
a new diploma?
Mr. RANKIN. Mrs. Oswald, I want to explain to you--the Commission
hasn't done anything to your diploma. We are informed that----
Mrs. OSWALD. They should have treated it a little more carefully,
though.
Mr. RANKIN. The process was trying to determine fingerprints. It wasn't
our action.
Mrs. OSWALD. There must be many fingerprints on there. All of my
teachers and everybody that ever looked at it. I am sorry--it is a pity
for my diploma.
Mr. RANKIN. We offer in evidence Exhibit 20.
The CHAIRMAN. It may be marked.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 20, and
received in evidence.)
Mr. RANKIN. Do you know why on Exhibit 20 there is no date of admission
to the school?
Mrs. OSWALD. There is no entrance date on it, but it does show the date
of issue and the date of graduation.
Mr. RANKIN. Isn't there a place for admission, though?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, there is a place for it.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you know when you were admitted to the school?
Mrs. OSWALD. In 1955.
Mr. KRIMER. I might mention the place here is for the year only, not
for a full date.
Mr. DULLES. 1955, did you say?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, 1955.
Mr. RANKIN. In this job that you obtained after you left the school,
what were your duties?
Mrs. OSWALD. When I worked in the pharmacy?
Mr. RANKIN. Yes.
Mrs. OSWALD. I worked in a hospital pharmacy. I prepared prescriptions.
After the rounds every day, the doctors prescribed prescriptions, and
the nurses of each department of the hospital enter that in a book,
and turn it over to the pharmacy for preparation, where we again
transcribed it from the nurses' book as a prescription and prepared it.
Mr. RANKIN. Were you assigned to a particular job or did you go out and
get the job? How was that arranged?
