The next time was in Irving, when I lived with Mrs. Paine. But that is after I returned from New Orleans. Mr. RANKIN. At New Orleans, who did your husband work for? Mrs. OSWALD. He worked for the Louisiana Coffee Co. But I don't know in what capacity. I don't think that this was very good job, or perhaps more correctly, he did not--I know that he didn't like this job. Mr. RANKIN. Do you know what he received in pay from that job? Mrs. OSWALD. $1.35 an hour, I think. I am not sure. Mr. RANKIN. How long did he work for this coffee company? Mrs. OSWALD. I think it was from May until August, to the end of August. Mr. RANKIN. Was he discharged? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. Mr. RANKIN. And then was he unemployed for a time? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. Mr. RANKIN. After you had discussed with your husband your going to Russia, was anything done about that? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes, I wrote a letter to the Soviet Embassy with a request to be permitted to return. And then it seems to me after I was already in New Orleans, I wrote another letter in which I told the Embassy that my husband wants to return with me. Mr. RANKIN. Do you recall the date of the first letter that you just referred to? Mrs. OSWALD. No. But that is easily determined. Mr. RANKIN. Were you asking for a visa to return to Russia? Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. Mr. RANKIN. Did you discuss with your husband his returning with you before you wrote the second letter that you have described? Mrs. OSWALD. I didn't ask him. He asked me to do so one day when he was extremely upset. He appeared to be very unhappy and he said that nothing keeps him here, and that he would not lose anything if he returned to the Soviet Union, and that he wants to be with me. And that it would be better to have less but not to be concerned about tomorrow, not to be worried about tomorrow. Mr. RANKIN. Was this a change in his attitude? Mrs. OSWALD. Towards me or towards Russia? Mr. RANKIN. Towards going to Russia. Mrs. OSWALD. I don't think that he was too fond of Russia, but simply that he knew that he would have work assured him there, because he had--after all, he had to think about his family. Mr. RANKIN. Did you know that he did get a passport? Mrs. OSWALD. It seems to me he always had a passport. Mr. RANKIN. While he was in New Orleans, that he got a passport? Mrs. OSWALD. Well, it seems to me that after we came here, he immediately received a passport. I don't know. I always saw his green passport. He even had two--one that had expired, and a new one. Mr. RANKIN. Do you know when the new one was issued? Mrs. OSWALD. No. It seems to me in the Embassy when we arrived. I don't know. But please understand me correctly, I am not hiding this. I simply don't know. Mr. RANKIN. Do you know about a letter from your husband to the Embassy asking that his request for a visa be considered separately from yours? Mrs. OSWALD. No, I don't. Mr. RANKIN. When you were at New Orleans, did your husband go to school, that you knew of?
