(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
Mr. Chairman, I offer in evidence as Commission Exhibits 281 through 292 the pages of the issue of Life Magazine I have identified that bear those exhibit numbers.
Mr. Dulles.
Yes. I understand counsel for Mr. Oswald has pointed out that I believe you are offering only the photographs and not the text?
Mr. Jenner.
Thank you, sir. May I amend my offer. I offer in evidence the reproduction of photographs which the witness has identified that appear on Commission Exhibits 281 through 292.
Mr. Dulles.
They may be accepted.
(The portion of the documents heretofore marked Commission Exhibits Nos. 281 through 292 for identification were received in evidence.)
Mr. Jenner.
I do not offer any of the text or any other portions of those pages.
Mr. Dulles.
That is so noted.
Mr. Jenner.
Are there any other events or happenings or circumstances during this 10-day period in New York City that come to your mind? You have told of the incident of taking the photograph which was identified. You told of visiting various places in New York City and being with your brother Lee. Was it a good deal during this 10-day period?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; practically every day, and practically every night, with two exceptions at night, where my brother John fixed me up with a blind date for one night only--no, I take that back. It would be just one night Lee was not with me, and that would be on the night I had a blind date with a girl from New York City, with my brother John and his wife.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you and your brother Lee visit your brother John's home during this 10-day stay?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir, we did not.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you have any discussion with your brother Lee put it this way--did you become aware during this 10-day period as to whether your mother and brother had stayed with your brother John at any time during their New York visit?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir. It was my understanding that when they first arrived in New York for a brief period they stayed together.
Mr. Jenner.
Was there any discussion with you as to why they left the home of your brother John?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; not to any extent--no, sir, no discussion.
Mr. Jenner.
No discussion of any difficulties or any incidents that had arisen while they were living with your brother John's family?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
That induced or had a bearing upon leaving and taking an apartment in the Bronx?
Mr. Oswald.
I do not know of any discussion or any difficulty that was mentioned to me, but I understand there was some difficulty.
Mr. Jenner.
Please, Mr. Oswald--the subject was not discussed with you during the 10-day period you were on leave?
Mr. Oswald.
That's correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Was it discussed with you at any time prior to November 22, 1963?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; it was not.
Mr. Jenner.
Was there any discussion on the subject of your brother's progress in schooling in New York City?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; there was not.
Mr. Jenner.
Was the subject of his attendance at school, whether the attendance was good or bad--was school discussed at all, as you recall?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; not to my recollection.
Mr. Jenner.
And as a layman, and acquainted with your brother, what was your impression? Give us your present impression of your brother's state of mind during that 10-day period. Was he normal and happy and friendly?
Mr. Oswald.
He was very normal. He did not appear to be unhappy. He was quite happy to see me. We spent a good deal of time together during that 10-day visit. At no time did he act abnormally.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he complain to you about school?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; he did not.
