(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)
Mr. Jenner.
And is that notebook still intact as it was when you delivered it to me yesterday?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; it is.
Mr. Jenner.
Does any part of that notebook contain any entries relating to anything involving your brother?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; it does.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you note the particular pages and put a paper clip on them, please?
Would you read the first paragraph of the first page which has been clipped?
Mr. Oswald.
"Dated December 6, 1963, for the history of the past 2 weeks as seen through my eyes, and heard with my ears, and felt with my body I write for future reference for myself and for the future members of the family."
Mr. Jenner.
Would you read the last sentence of the last page you have clipped?
Mr. Oswald.
"Marina said she was shocked when the FBI told her this story."
Mr. Jenner.
May I approach the witness, Mr. Chairman?
Mr. Dulles.
Please. What was "this story"?
Mr. Jenner.
May we consider that a question to the witness, please?
Mr. Dulles.
Yes.
Mr. Oswald.
If I may read the entire entry dated January 19, 1964.
Mr. Jenner.
Is this entry in your handwriting?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Was it made contemporaneously with the event recorded?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; it was.
Mr. Jenner.
This event took place on Sunday, January 19, 1964?.
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And you made an entry contemporaneously or shortly thereafter?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
For what purpose?
Mr. Oswald.
For the purpose of writing down a reference for myself and for my family on all events that I could learn about in relation to Lee's life.
Mr. Jenner.
Mr. Chairman, before the paragraph is read, if I may--is there another entry in your hand-writing on that page?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; there is.
Mr. Jenner.
Is it the only other entry on that page?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; it is.
Mr. Jenner.
Is it the entry of January--Sunday, January 13, 1964, relative to Mr. Nixon about which you have already testified?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; that is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
And which you have read in full into the record?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I have.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, you are going to read for the purpose of the record the balance of that page, are you not?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; that is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mr. Oswald.
"Sunday, January 19, 1964. Marina and the Martins had gone to Kathy Ford's house in Richardson, when we arrived at the Martin's house around 2 p.m. They returned approximately about 4:45 p.m. On the way to the grocery, Jim said the FBI had asked Marina during the week if she knew"----
Mr. Jenner.
Is there a blank there?
Mr. Oswald.
No sir. I had omitted a word.
Mr. Jenner.
What was the word?
Mr. Oswald.
"that Lee".
Mr. Jenner.
Was it an inadvertent omission?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, it was.
Mr. Jenner.
And the omission was what word?
Mr. Oswald.
"If she knew Lee had"----
Mr. Jenner.
You now have a specific recollection you intended to write the word "Lee"?
