(Testimony of Mrs. Lee Harvey Oswald Resumed)

The Chairman.
It may be admitted.
(The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 126, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Thorne.
Exhibit 127 is a suitcase.
Mrs. Oswald.
A Russian suitcase.
Mr. Rankin.
You have seen that before, have you?
Mrs. Oswald.
Of course.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you how whether he took Exhibit 127 to Mexico?
Mrs. Oswald.
No.
Mr. Rankin.
You don't know, or you don't think he did?
Mrs. OSWALD, I how that he did not take it.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you know when he used Exhibit 127?
Mrs. Oswald.
I don't think that he would have used it. Was this taken in Lee's apartment?
Mr. Rankin.
We cannot tell you that, Mrs. Oswald. We don't know which place it was taken from.
You have seen it amongst his things, though, have you not?
Mrs. Oswald.
No. I think these things were in Ruth Paine's garage.
Mr. Rankin.
You don't know whether it is his or Mrs. Paine's?
Mrs. Oswald.
That is my suitcase.
Mr. Rankin.
And did you use it to come from the Soviet Union?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes,
Mr. Thorne.
This is not Lee's suitcase, then--this is your personal suitcase?
Mrs. OSWALD, Yes. Ours, or mine.
Mr. Rankin.
We offer in evidence Exhibit 127.
The Chairman.
Do you need that? That is hers. She may want it. Do you think we need it?
Very well. It may be admitted.
(The article referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 127, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Thorne.
Exhibit 128 is a Humble Oil and Refining Company courtesy map of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Mr. Rankin.
I call your attention, Mrs. Oswald, to the markings in ink, in the area where the assassination took place.
Mrs. Oswald.
This map Lee acquired after returning to Irving. Before that, he had another map.
That doesn't tell me anything. I did not use this map.
Mr. Rankin.
Did you ever see your husband use it?
Mrs. Oswald.
No. I think that this was in his apartment, where he lived. Perhaps he used it there.
Mr. Rankin.
Did you ever see him put those markings on it?
Mrs. Oswald.
No, I have never seen him use this specific map. Possibly he marked this place, not because of what happened there, but because this was the place where he worked, I don't know. He had a habit to note down the addresses of all acquaintances where he worked.
Mr. Rankin.
Can you tell whether the writing on the side of the map there is in your husband's handwriting?
Mrs. Oswald.
It doesn't look like his handwriting.
(The document referred to was marked for identification as Commission Exhibit No. 128.)
Mr. Thorne.
Exhibit 129 purports to be some type of an official document in Russian.
Mrs. Oswald.
That is my birth certificate.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you know why it was issued at that date, rather than presumably the one that was issued when you were born?
Mrs. Oswald.
Because mine was lost somewhere, and it was reissued.
Mr. Rankin.
Did you have to go there to get it?
Mrs. Oswald.
No, simply write a letter.
Mr. Rankin.
And they mailed it to you?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
I offer that exhibit in evidence.
The Chairman.
It may be admitted.
