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
Now, Mrs. Dymitruk, does anything occur to you now to which you would
like to call my attention and, through me, the Commission, that you
think for any possible reason might be helpful to us in this important
investigation?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Well, in my opinion, naturally, everyone American who
goes from United States to Russia, let them there. Don't bring them
back. That's the only thing that I can say. It's no reason to leave
United States and change your nationality or something. Because I have
experience myself. I lived in Russia for 15 years and, in my childhood,
I knew too much about the life in Russia. And I can't see any reason
that American want to go to Russia and to accept Russian life--I mean
the Communists. I can't see that.
Mr. JENNER. You have a personal aversion to communism?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And it's your viewpoint that if any American goes to Russia
with the intention of living there that we ought to leave them there?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. And not encourage him to return to the United States?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Not encourage--or if he ask to come back, just let him
stay there.
Mr. JENNER. Uh-huh. All right.
Anything else?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Let's see--Uh--one thing that I'm just always wonder
about Marina and her husband--that she knew--if she knew that her
husband tried to kill General Walker. I think she was responsible, in
that case, to tell the Government or somebody in Government that her
husband tried to do this.
Mr. JENNER. It's your viewpoint about----
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Yes, sir; that's right.
Mr. JENNER. That she should have disclosed that?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Yes, sir. Husband or no husband, I would feel that I
should.
Mr. JENNER. Your feeling is that regardless of whether it was a
husband, or whomever it might have been----
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Right.
Mr. JENNER. That was involved in such an incident, that it should have
been disclosed to the police or the Government?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Anything else?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Well, you ask questions. I don't know.
Mr. JENNER. I can't think of anything at the moment.
Now, we've had occasional discussions off the record when the reporter
hasn't been transcribing. Is there anything that occurred during the
course of any off-the-record discussion that I haven't brought out in
questioning you that you think is pertinent here?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Nothing.
Mr. JENNER. Everything that's pertinent I have questioned you about?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. As far as you know?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Now, Mrs. Dymitruk, this questioning will be transcribed and this fine
young lady will have it some time next week. You may read it if you
desire, or not--as you see fit. And some people like to read it over
and see if they're any corrections they would like to make. That's
optional. You may or may not as you see fit. And you have a right to do
this if you want. You also may waive it.
