I have had it very hard, Mr. Rankin, and gentlemen--I have lost jobs, I was in a position, if I was in a home and television was on, and something political was on television, and the people commented, I felt it was necessary to keep quiet, because of it. Because of the defection I thought if I would express my views they might think I was a Communist like my son was supposed to be. And in many a home I have been in--after three or four days they would tell me my services were not needed. I cannot say, sure it was because of Lee's defection. However, I feel sure that it is, because I am a respected person, and a very good nurse, as has been stated in the paper. And my jobs were gotten from word of mouth. But you must understand that I deal with a lot of people. So naturally it is natural that some of them would feel resentful against me because of my son defecting to Russia and presumably being a Communist. Mr. RANKIN. Did you ever find out where Marina was that day that you tried to locate her? Mrs. OSWALD. No, sir, no sir, that ended that. So I respected my son's wish, since he didn't want to tell me where he was in Dallas, that I would accept that fact. Now, gentlemen, this may seem hard that I accept these things. But it is not. I am self-supporting. I have a life of my own. And if Lee decides that that is the way he wants it, I am not going to grieve and worry about it. I have to get my sleep in order to work. I have the ability of accepting things, the ability granted me by the grace of God, because of my difficulty in life. I have been a widow. I have had many, many obstacles, and I have had to face them. And my faith gets stronger. I do accept things. As now, I accept the death of my son. I don't brood over that. I have that ability of doing that. So I just accepted the fact--when Lee gets ready to let me know where he is, fine--up until that time, it is his privilege to do what he wants. Now, that is the last contact I have had with Marina and Lee until the news broke in Dallas that Lee was picked up because of the assassination of President Kennedy. Mr. RANKIN. Tell us about this period you were talking about, when he went to Dallas. Was that before or after the time he went to New Orleans? Mrs. OSWALD. That was before the time, sir--he lived--from my apartment, the Rotary Apartments, when Lee got the job he lived on Mercedes Street from the end of July, I would say, or the beginning of September, until October, when he left to go to Dallas. Mr. RANKIN. What year was that? Mrs. OSWALD. That was in 1963. Mr. RANKIN. You mean '62? Mrs. OSWALD. I am sorry--1962. And that was the last I had seen of Marina and Lee. Mr. RANKIN. Did you ever find where they were in Dallas?
