Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. But they don't want the public to know he is an agent. They want me to have all of this. They don't want the public to know. I am going around to people--you brought up a very good point. I am going around trying to get money for this boy to come home, so the public knows. Sure, they could have given him the money to come home. Mr. RANKIN. Are you trying to get money now? I don't understand what you mean by that? Mrs. OSWALD. I think, Mr. Rankin, you asked me the question that if he was an agent, that the Government would have given him the money to come home without any trouble. I say just the opposite. That it was a very good point. If he was an agent, it would make it hard for him to get the money to come home. Remember, I am under the impression he is coming home with this Russian girl in order to continue his work. So he cannot be given the money immediately to come home, because his mother might tell the story to someone. Lee was almost a year coming home for lack of money. So then they have an excuse to loan him the money. Mr. RANKIN. Did you ever learn that he was getting money from the Red Cross in addition to his pay--that is the Russian or Soviet Red Cross, when he was over there? Mrs. OSWALD. No, sir. Mr. RANKIN. You don't know what he did with that? Mrs. OSWALD. I don't know anything about that. The Red Cross from here? Mr. RANKIN. The Soviet Red Cross. Mrs. OSWALD. No, sir, I know nothing about that. Mr. RANKIN. You didn't know he was supposed to have gotten an amount equal to the pay he received from his job. He got that from the Red Cross. Mrs. OSWALD. I don't follow you. I do not know. I don't understand. Mr. RANKIN. He got so much a month from his job in the electronics factory. You understood that. Mrs. OSWALD. In Russia? Mr. RANKIN. Yes. Mrs. OSWALD. He was not in an electronics factory. I thought he was working in a radio factory. All right, fine. Mr. RANKIN. And then he got an equal amount, we understand, from the Red Cross of the Soviet Union. Did you know that? Mrs. OSWALD. No, sir. Now, explain to me--when you say the Red Cross of the Soviet Union. Is that our American Red Cross in the Soviet Union, or this is part of the Russian Red Cross? Mr. RANKIN. This is part of the Russian Red Cross. Mrs. OSWALD. I do not know that. Mr. RANKIN. It is not any part of the American Red Cross. Mrs. OSWALD. No, I do not know that. Mr. RANKIN. Their Red Cross is somewhat different than ours, I understand, because the Government has so much to do with activity there that the Red Cross is closely associated with the Government itself, while in this country, as you know, it is generally supported by the public. Mrs. OSWALD. No, I did not know that.
