United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. RANKIN. He started it in Russia?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. And there are a number of notations that were made after
you returned to this country, is that right?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. We offer in evidence Exhibit 18.
The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted with that number.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 18, and
received in evidence.)
Mrs. OSWALD. There is a Russian term for "wedding ring" noted in there.
Before we were married I wrote that down for him, because he didn't
know the Russian expression for it. I didn't tell him. He looked it up
in the dictionary himself and translated it.
Mr. RANKIN. I would like to hand this back to you and call your
attention to the page of Exhibit 18 where the little white slip is.
I ask you if you recognize the handwriting there, where it refers to
Agent Hosty.
Mrs. OSWALD. Lee wrote that. And this is the license number.
Mr. RANKIN. And the telephone number?
The license number, the name, and the telephone number are all in your
husband's----
Mrs. OSWALD. The date when he visited him, FBI agent, telephone, name,
license number, and probably the address.
Mr. RANKIN. Are all in your husband's handwriting?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you know when they were entered in that notebook,
Exhibit 18?
Mrs. OSWALD. After the first visit.
Mr. RANKIN. Did you note the notation "November 1" on that page?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. You think that is about the date of the first visit, then?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Now, did you report to your husband the fact of this visit,
November 1, with the FBI agent?
Mrs. OSWALD. I didn't report it to him at once, but as soon as he came
for a weekend, I told him about it.
By the way, on that day he was due to arrive.
Mr. RANKIN. That is on November 1?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. Lee comes off work at 5:30--comes from work at 5:30.
They left at 5 o'clock, and we told them if they wanted to they could
wait and Lee would be here soon. But they didn't want to wait.
Mr. RANKIN. And by "they" who do you mean? Do you recall the name of
the other man beside Agent Hosty?
Mrs. OSWALD. There was only one man during the first visit. I don't
remember his name. This was probably the date because there is his name
and the date.
Mr. RANKIN. Now, what did you tell your husband about this visit by the
FBI agent and the interview?
Mrs. OSWALD. I told him that they had come, that they were interested
in where he was working and where he lived, and he was, again, upset.
He said that he would telephone them--I don't know whether he called or
not--or that he would visit them.
Mr. RANKIN. Is that all you told him at that time about the interview?
Mrs. OSWALD. No. I told him about the content of the interview, but now
I don't remember.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you remember anything else that happened in the
interview that you could tell the Commission at this time?
