Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. He said he had read a great deal about Russia, he was interested in seeing the country, which was the first in the Socialist camp about which much had been said, and he wanted to see it with his own eyes. And, therefore, he wanted to be not merely a tourist, who is being shown only the things that are good, but he wanted to live among the masses and see. But when he actually did, it turned out to be quite difficult. The CHAIRMAN. I think we better adjourn now for the day. (Whereupon, at 4:30 p.m., the President's Commission recessed.) _Thursday, February 6, 1964_ TESTIMONY OF MRS. LEE HARVEY OSWALD RESUMED The President's Commission met at 10 a.m. on February 6, 1964, at 200 Maryland Avenue NE., Washington, D.C. Present were Chief Justice Earl Warren, Chairman; Senator John Sherman Cooper, Representative Hale Boggs, Representative Gerald R. Ford, and Allen W. Dulles, members. Also present were J. Lee Rankin, general counsel; Melvin Aron Eisenberg, assistant counsel; Norman Redlich, assistant counsel; William D. Krimer, and Leon I. Gopadze, interpreters; and John M. Thorne, attorney for Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald. The CHAIRMAN. The Commission will be in order. We will proceed again. Mr. Rankin? Mr. RANKIN. Mrs. Oswald, if I may return a moment with you to the time that you told us about your husband practicing with the rifle at Love Field. As I recall your testimony, you said that he told you that he had taken the rifle and practiced with it there, is that right? Mrs. OSWALD. I knew that he practiced with it there. He told me, later. Mr. RANKIN. And by practicing with it, did you mean that he fired the rifle there, as you understood it? Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know what he did with it there. He probably fired it. But I didn't see him. Mr. RANKIN. And then you said that you had seen him cleaning it after he came back, is that right? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. Mr. RANKIN. Now, do you recall your husband having any ammunition around the house at any time? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. Mr. RANKIN. And where do you remember his having it in the places you lived? Mrs. OSWALD. On Neely Street, in Dallas, and New Orleans. Mr. RANKIN. Do you know whether that was rifle ammunition or rifle and pistol ammunition? Mrs. OSWALD. I think it was for the rifle. Perhaps he had some pistol ammunition there, but I would not know the difference. Mr. RANKIN. Did you observe how much ammunition he had at any time? Mrs. OSWALD. He had a box of about the size of this. Mr. RANKIN. Could you give us a little description of how you indicated the box? Was it 2 or 3 inches wide? Mrs. OSWALD. About the size here on the pad. Mr. RANKIN. About 3 inches wide and 6 inches long? Mrs. OSWALD. Probably. Mr. RANKIN. Now, do you recall that you said to your husband at any time that he was just studying Marxism so he could get attention? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
