TESTIMONY OF MRS. LYDIA DYMITRUK
The testimony of Mrs. Lydia Dymitruk was taken on March 25, 1964, in
the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building, Bryan and
Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Albert E. Jenner, Jr., assistant
counsel of the President's Commission.
Mr. JENNER. I am Albert Jenner.
Mrs. Dymitruk, will you stand to be sworn, please?
I am about to take your testimony by deposition. Do you solemnly swear
that you will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
truth, so help you God?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. I do.
Mr. JENNER. Thank you. Be seated please.
Mrs. Dymitruk, I am Albert E. Jenner, Jr. I am a member of the staff
counsel and consultant for and to the Commission appointed by the
President of the United States to investigate the assassination of
President Kennedy.
Now this is a Commission appointed pursuant to Executive Order of the
President of the United States, Mr. Lyndon B. Johnson, No. 11130, dated
November 29, 1963, and Joint Resolution of the Congress of the United
States No. 137.
Have you received a letter from J. Lee Rankin, the general counsel for
the Commission, asking if you would come here and depose or have your
deposition taken?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Yes; I have.
Mr. JENNER. And included with that letter were copies of the Executive
order and the resolution to which I have made reference?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And, pursuant to that request, as a lot of other fine
American citizens, you are appearing voluntarily here this morning?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Yes; I am.
Mr. JENNER. As it appears from the Executive order and the resolution,
the Commission is investigating all the circumstances we can obtain
respecting and relating to the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy and also the subsequent death of Lee Oswald, and persons
involved in those two unfortunate events. And it is our information
that you have some possible information that might help us with respect
to Marina Oswald and Lee Oswald, and I should like to question you
about that.
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Yes, sir; I am ready.
Mr. JENNER. You seem a little excited. Why don't you sit back and
relax, pull your chair around and be comfortable. Nothing's going to
happen to you.
Mrs. DYMITRUK. I'm not afraid.
Mr. JENNER. Your name is Lydia Dymitruk?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And do I correctly pronounce your name?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Yes, sir; that's all right.
Mr. JENNER. And it is spelled [spelling] L-y-d-i-a. And Dymitruk is
[spelling] D-y-m-i-t-r-u-k?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Uh-huh.
Mr. JENNER. You live at 3542-1/2 10th Street in Fort Worth?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Yes, sir.
