Mr. TAYLOR. No; nor was the subject, which I think you were leading up to, of the Russians' right or lack of right to own firearms discussed. Mr. JENNER. The subject of firearms was never discussed? Mr. TAYLOR. No. Mr. JENNER. Did he discuss at any time with you, or did you hear him discuss it in your presence, his effort to return to the United States and any difficulties, if he had any, in that connection? Mr. TAYLOR. Yes; I believe he said that--uh--he did have difficulties and that it took him--uh--about a year to get permission to come to this--return to this country with his wife. Mr. JENNER. Did he say anything about whether he undertook that effort prior to his marriage--had commenced it prior to the time he had married Marina? Mr. TAYLOR. No; he indicated that he commenced it after his marriage. Mr. JENNER. Did he discuss with you at any time, or was the subject discussed in your presence, as to the courtship between Marina and himself? Mr. TAYLOR. No; or, if it was, I have no recollection of it. Mr. JENNER. Did he discuss with you, or was there a discussion in your presence, of any illnesses on his part while he was in Russia? Mr. TAYLOR. No. Mr. JENNER. All right. Have we now exhausted his discussions with you with respect to the subject of his life in Russia? Mr. TAYLOR. Yes. Mr. JENNER. Did he discuss with you, or was there a discussion in your presence, the subject of why he sought to return to the United States? Mr. TAYLOR. Oh, only that he was unhappy with both the way of life in Russia and--uh--the place that he had been given in it. Mr. JENNER. Did he discuss with you, or was there a discussion in your presence, the subject of Marina's inclinations in that connection--any desire on her part to come to the United States? Mr. TAYLOR. No; there was never--uh--any discussion as to her feelings about coming to this country at all. I don't think, in any case, that they were important to him. Mr. JENNER. At least, they weren't discussed in your presence and not with you directly? Mr. TAYLOR. That's right. Mr. JENNER. Was there discussed in your presence, or did he discuss directly with you, their route back to the United States? Mr. TAYLOR. No; I believe the only thing that he ever mentioned about that was that the American Embassy, I presume in Moscow, loaned him the money to return. Mr. JENNER. Did he discuss with you, or was there discussed in your presence, his reaction to the Russian system, as such, distinguished now from what was accorded him which you have related--more in the area of the political area--the Communist system, as such, the political philosophy, as distinguished from the U.S.S.R. as a country or government?
