Warren Commission (09 of 26): Hearings Vol. IX (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GREGORY. I really can't remember anything specifically. I just
asked him how he came out, and he said he was on the train, and
something or other happened in Poland, I didn't quite understand it,
where there was some incident in Poland where they bought something, or
some person sold them something black market and--I can't remember it,
but they never gave me a travellogue of their trip out of the Soviet
Union.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he tell you that he eventually went to some point in
Holland and boarded a ship and came back to New York?
Mr. GREGORY. He did.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you have any recollection about that other than what I
have just stated?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he tell you how he got from his landing point in the
United States to Texas?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he tell you where he landed in the United States?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you know that now?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he ever indicate any dissatisfaction with the
conditions here in the United States other than the ones that you
previously indicated that he expressed? That is, that everyone seemed
to be concerned about making money? Did he ever indicate that he
thought particular institutions ought to be changed in any way?
Mr. GREGORY. No; his only objection that he ever voiced to me was about
the money everyone was out for themselves, and evidently he never
had much money, and I guess he felt persecuted on account of this. I
remember one evening I gave him a tour of the town, and I took them
to, you know, drove by all the big mansions. I figured they would be
interested in seeing that, and it seems like there if he would really
have any strong feelings, they would have come out then.
He said something about how horrible it is that here people are living
in these big mansions, and I think just before that we had seen a bad
part of town where the colored people lived, but he made no comment
there. I think he just said, "Well, I never want to be rich like that."
Mr. LIEBELER. He indicated no particular animosity toward people of
wealth and position?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Going back to his experience in the Soviet Union, did he
ever tell you that he had ever been in the hospital there?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he tell you any of the details about his marriage to
Marina, as to any difficulties they experienced in getting permission
to become married, or anything of that nature?
Mr. GREGORY. No; I don't think so. As I remember, it happened quite
fast. I believe they were married 2 or 3 weeks after they met.
Mr. LIEBELER. Can you think of anything else that he ever told you
about his experiences in the Soviet Union that we haven't already
covered?
Mr. GREGORY. Not at the moment.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did Oswald ever discuss any subject concerning Russian
military movements or the presence of troops, concentration of
equipment, aircraft and that sort of thing?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
