Mr. MARTIN. The FBI had read, I think, in his manuscript that he had attempted suicide. Mr. DULLES. And they asked her about it? Mr. MARTIN. She didn't know that. Yes. And at that time I asked her if she learned anything else, and she said no, but that they still didn't know that she knew that he had gone to Mexico, and at that time we were talking about the Commission, that general area of time, and I mentioned to be sure to tell the truth to the Commission. Mr. REDLICH. Did you ask her why she had not revealed knowledge of her trip--of her knowledge of Lee Oswald's trip to Mexico? Mr. MARTIN. I can't recall exactly whether I did or not. Mr. REDLICH. Did you ask her? Mr. MARTIN. I have a recollection but I have no idea what was said. Mr. REDLICH. Did you and she discuss the purpose of Lee Oswald's trip to Mexico? Mr. MARTIN. No. Mr. REDLICH. Do you say you advised her to tell this Commission about that trip to Mexico? Mr. MARTIN. Yes. Mr. REDLICH. When you were here and she testified did you inquire of her as to whether in fact she did tell this Commission about the trip to Mexico? Mr. MARTIN. I inquired of John Thorne and he said that she had. Mr. REDLICH. But in connection with the Nixon incident, you indicated earlier in your testimony that you had not inquired of her as to whether she had told this Commission about the Nixon incident. Mr. MARTIN. Right. Mr. REDLICH. Did you think that the Nixon incident was of less importance than the Mexican trip? Mr. MARTIN. No, I didn't quite believe the Nixon incident. Mr. REDLICH. Do you believe it now? Mr. MARTIN. I don't know. I don't know if there is any corroboration other than her say so. Mr. REDLICH. It was because you had doubts about the actual existence of the incident that you didn't pursue with her the question as to whether she should tell this Commission about it? Mr. MARTIN. Yes. I didn't tell her not to say anything about it. I didn't mention it specifically at all. The only thing I told her to do was to tell the Commission the truth in all cases. Mr. REDLICH. At the conclusion of each day's testimony while she was here before this Commission did you discuss the nature of her testimony with her? Mr. MARTIN. No. I asked her how the day went. And she would tell me, "fine," and that was the end of it. Mr. REDLICH. But you did inquire specifically about the Mexico trip? Mr. MARTIN. Yes. Because I knew she lied about that to the FBI. Mr. REDLICH. Are there any other incidents you knew she had lied about to the FBI? Mr. MARTIN. No. Mr. REDLICH. That is the only one? Mr. MARTIN. Yes. Mr. REDLICH. Did you and Marina Oswald ever discuss the question of her husband's rifle practice? Mr. MARTIN. No. The only time I recall that ever being asked of her was at the press conference here in Washington, and I never specifically asked her at all, whether he practiced. Mr. REDLICH. Did you ever discuss with her the question of Lee Oswald's ownership of a rifle?
