United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. I was permitted to drive it up and down the driveway or
when my father was with me, I could drive it around the block or
something like that the way kids do. Was Robert permitted to do that on
a limited scale?
Mr. PIC. I wouldn't remember that, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Did you own what we used to call in my day an old jalopy
while you were still in Fort Worth?
Mr. PIC. That picture of that automobile there was quite an old jalopy,
sir.
Mr. JENNER. That was before you enlisted?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Did your brother Robert ever drive that?
Mr. PIC. To the best of my recollection, no, sir. In fact, I only drove
it a few times myself. This is the picture with the dog.
Mr. JENNER. That is the picture of the car in John Pic's Exhibit No. 55?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Lee never drove it, to your knowledge?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Was your brother Robert interested in automobiles?
Mr. PIC. All kids are interested in automobiles.
Mr. JENNER. No; please--was he interested in automobiles?
Mr. PIC. Sure, he wanted to drive. He seen I was driving so he wanted
to drive and he wasn't as old as I was, I was permitted to drive and he
wasn't.
Mr. JENNER. What about your brother Lee Harvey Oswald in that respect?
Mr. PIC. I don't know if he ever was really interested at that age to
drive a car or not, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Was anything said on the day, Thanksgiving Day 1962, to
lead you to believe that he knew how to drive or operate an automobile?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. By the way, are you right handed?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Is your brother Lee right or left handed?
Mr. PIC. I think he was right handed, sir. I think we were all right
handed, Robert had tendencies toward the left hand and I think my
mother made him change.
Mr. JENNER. Was anything said during the course of that occasion when
you saw him about his experiences in the Marines?
Mr. PIC. There probably was, sir, but I don't remember what they
referred to. I know he told me he was at Atsugo Naval Air Station. This
I didn't know until he told me exactly where he was in Japan. I was
familiar with the Atsugo area.
Mr. JENNER. Did he say anything about having been in the Philippines?
Mr. PIC. Reading the magazine I now know that----
Mr. JENNER. Did he say anything then?
Mr. PIC. No, sir; at that time I don't remember knowing that he had
been in the Philippines.
Mr. JENNER. Did he say anything about ever having been in Formosa?
Mr. PIC. No, sir. Just Japan, I think possibly Korea, maybe, was
mentioned.
Mr. JENNER. But there was no discussion of his marine career to speak
of?
Mr. PIC. He was affiliated with radar, he told me, radio radar.
Mr. JENNER. Did the subject arise of why he went to Russia?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. That was not discussed at all?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Nothing was said? Anything said about his experiences in
Russia prior to the time he became married there?
