Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. When you gave it to the Secret Service.
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Plus the identifying marks you have described?
Mr. PIC. That is correct, sir.
Mr. JENNER. I offer in evidence a document, memorandum book now marked
as "John Pic Exhibit No. 60."
(The document heretofore marked for identification as John Pic Exhibit
No. 60 was received in evidence.)
Mr. JENNER. Did you thereafter prior to November 22, up to but prior to
November 22, 1963, hear anything about your brother?
Mr. PIC. The day or two after they left Robert and I went fishing.
While we were in the boat there was Robert, myself, and my oldest boy,
and at this time I asked him about Lee, I asked him if he considered
or thought that Lee was a little on the pink side and just how he was
getting along. Robert informed me that he had had seen FBI agents once
in awhile who said Lee was doing pretty good and that there was nothing
to worry about. And all reports that he had had were favorable towards
Lee.
Mr. JENNER. Robert did tell you that the FBI had checked with him?
Mr. PIC. He had seen an agent now and then, sir.
Mr. JENNER. He didn't elaborate as to whether the FBI had come to visit
him or whether he had merely run into some FBI agent?
Mr. PIC. I had the impression that they had visited him where he
worked, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Did you hear anything else about your brother from that
occasion up to but not including November 22, 1963?
Mr. PIC. Well, other information I gathered from my talks with Robert
in those few days was that Lee and Marina made the trip to see them in
Fort Worth fairly regular, to have dinner, things like this. It seems
that Vada and Marina were at one time, I was told, talking----
Mr. JENNER. By whom?
Mr. PIC. By Vada, Marina was trying to make a point about her wedding
ring being she couldn't speak English, Vada got the impression that
Marina had been married before.
Mr. JENNER. That Marina had been married before?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir; this is the only thing she could gather from Marina
flashing her wedding ring and talking about this. The four of us were
present, Robert, myself, and the two wives. But this was done over
coffee.
Mr. JENNER. This was after Lee and Marina had left?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir; this was after they had left.
Mr. JENNER. What did Robert say on that subject, if anything?
Mr. PIC. Nothing. That he didn't think she had been married before.
Mr. JENNER. Did you visit your brother Robert, and did he visit you
subsequent to that occasion on Thanksgiving up to but not including
November 22, 1963?
Mr. PIC. A couple or 3 days prior to Christmas of 1962, Robert and his
family returned the visit to our home in San Antonio, sir. I asked
Robert this time if he had seen or heard from Lee since we had last
seen him and he told me, no.
Mr. JENNER. Was there any comment on that subject that he had not heard
from Lee up to that time?
Mr. PIC. It was really only a matter of 3 or 4 weeks at the most, sir.
