Warren Commission (01 of 26): Hearings Vol. I (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
I want that for record.
The CHAIRMAN. Yes. Well, that is all right, Mrs. Oswald. You may state
that for the record.
Mrs. OSWALD. I have documents, and I would like to ask, please--I will
not leave any documents out of my hand. I carry them with me wherever I
go. Even Mr. Doyle has been told that the documents stay with me.
I have had documents stolen from me. I have had newspaper clippings
stolen from me in my home, by the Secret Service.
I make the statement perfectly plain. And so the documents stay with me.
Now, these are originals. I want, and you will want, copies of every
original I have, and I will be more than happy to let you have them.
However, I want to be present when these copies are made and the
original returned to me.
I will under no circumstances let anyone have my originals for an hour
or two, and then return them to me--if I am making myself plain.
I would like to request that, please.
The CHAIRMAN. We will accommodate you in that respect.
Mrs. OSWALD. Then I have one other stipulation or request.
When I tell my story, I will be including people in my story that
possibly you don't know of. I request that I have the privilege,
through you, of course, to subpena these people that are in connection
with the story that I tell, if you do not have the names already.
And I feel sure that I have some information that you don't know about,
and there are some people involved.
I also request that after my testimony, that Marina Oswald will be
subpenaed--not subpenaed but will then testify again, if you see fit.
And I believe that I have contrary testimony to her testimony that
would make it necessary for her to be recalled.
I ask that that be granted.
The CHAIRMAN. Well, Mrs. Oswald, of course you have no power of
subpena, and we have no power to give you the power of subpena. But you
may be sure that if your evidence produces anything that is critical
to this investigation, that we will pursue it to the end, in order to
determine the weight of the testimony for our final report. You may be
sure of that.
Mrs. OSWALD. I appreciate that.
The CHAIRMAN. But as to how we do it, or when we do it, you will just
have to leave that to the Commission.
Mrs. OSWALD. You will give me the assurance that these people I name,
regardless of title--I am liable to name some very important people----
The CHAIRMAN. No, we cannot give you any assurance, because we don't
know----
Mrs. OSWALD. I see no reason, then, for my testimony.
