Mr. Oswald.

I am sure he did, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

I am just trying to reconstruct the scene for you.

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And whether your brother Lee Harvey Oswald was then in Russia, and had been in Russia?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Whether he was married, and married to Marina?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And was he familiar with Marina's name?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; he was.
I might further add, sir, if I may, that the gentleman advised me he assumed that Lee was employed by the Government in some capacity in Russia, and not having any background or apparent background of Lee's reported reasons for going to Russia.

Mr. Jenner.

And did you make any response to that, when his conversation was such as to indicate that he was not fully advised of the circumstances under which your brother had entered and remained in Russia?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I did--to the extent as I have already testified.
I believe perhaps at this point, if not this exact point, I referred him to the FBI Bureau and Mr. Fain.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he ask you--did he inquire whether you had received correspondence from your brother, or the extent to which you had been in touch with each other?

Mr. Oswald.

Not that I recall, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

These are horribly leading questions--but I take it then his inquiries were largely directed toward, as a representative of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, obtaining information as to Marina, whom he understood to be the wife of your brother, who, in turn, was about to return to the United States with Marina, then a citizen of Russia?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct.

Mr. Jenner.

How long did this interview last?

Mr. Oswald.

Approximately 30 minutes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And your mind's eye is that he had a form, or he had some set questions which he was asking from a sheet of paper?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I do.

Mr. Jenner.

Rather than the typical FBI or Secret Service inquiry, in which the questions range, as mine have, for example, largely dependent upon what your answers to the previous questions were?

Mr. Oswald.

That is correct, sir.
I believe the gentleman did have some type of set form as to questions he was referring to when he spoke to me.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he go into your family background, your own age, your occupation, and that sort of thing?

Mr. Oswald.

I believe, sir; he just went into my background, as to the extent of my relation to Lee Harvey and Marina N. Oswald at that particular time.

Mr. Jenner.

Would you describe this gentleman, please--his physical appearance?

Mr. Mckenzie.

If you recall.

Mr. Jenner.

Yes, of course.

Mr. Oswald.

To the best of my remembrance, I would describe this man to be average build, rather short, approximately 5-foot 9 or 5-foot 10, perhaps in his middle forties or early fifties. I do recall, sir; if I might further add, as the gentleman was leaving the house that night, I requested of him if it was. possible for him to notify me when and if Marina's visa would be accepted or not, and he replied to me at that time that he could not do that. And I replied back to him that I guess I would know about it from the extent that if she arrived over here, it was approved.

Mr. Jenner.

Have you now exhausted your recollection of this particular incident?

Mr. Oswald.

Yes, sir; I have.

Mr. Dulles.

Could I ask a question there?
Do you recall that at any time the State Department was in touch with you
