(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)

Mr. Mckenzie.
trip that he took as reported in the letter to you, which has been introduced into evidence?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I am not aware of any other cities.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Did Marina N. Oswald have either June Oswald, her two-year-old child, or Rachel, her infant child, baptized, to your knowledge?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; she has.
Mr. Mckenzie.
And where was that, sir?
Mr. Oswald.
It is my understanding that this took place in Dallas, Tex., some time in the year of 1963, sir.
Mr. Dulles.
You are speaking now of June?
Mr. Oswald.
I am speaking now of June.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Has the baby Rachel been baptized as of this time?
Mr. Oswald.
Not to my knowledge, sir.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Do you know what faith June was baptized in? By faith I refer to what particular church or denomination.
Mr. Oswald.
I believe, sir, this was the Greek Orthodox Church.
Mr. Mckenzie.
From your acquaintance with Marina Oswald, and based on your discussions with her, both in your home and elsewhere, including cemetery visits which you have made with her, do you now consider and believe that Marina N. Oswald is a Christian and believes in the teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?
Mr. Oswald.
I do, sir.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Has she professed such faith to you?
Mr. Oswald.
Not directly, sir--only by implication, sir.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Do you believe or have you formed an opinion now, based on your discussions and observations of Marina Oswald, as to whether or not Marina N. Oswald is a Communist or a Soviet agent, either now or at any time since you met her at Dallas, Love Field, in June of 1962?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I do not believe that she is any of those things.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Now, do you think she is a Communist?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Do you have any opinion as to whether or not she is at this time or since she arrived in this country?
Mr. Oswald.
I am of the opinion that she is not, based on my observations of her reactions and her conversations with me.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Mr. Oswald, have I or has anyone at any time coached or briefed you--and if you don't understand what I mean by the word "coached" please tell me so--as to what you should testify here before this Commission, other than my cautioning you not to speculate or use conjecture?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; you have not.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Has anyone?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; they have not.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Have you told the Commission----
Mr. Jenner.
Excuse me--that anyone includes any member of the staff of this Commission?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct.
Mr. Mckenzie.
And likewise it includes, does it not, any member of the FBI, or the Secret Service or any other Federal agency?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct.
Mr. Mckenzie.
And the same would apply to any State agency of Texas?
Mr. Oswald.
Sir, that would apply to anybody, no matter what his position with any government agency or individual.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Now, have you told the Commission during the hearings here, since you have been testifying, only the facts as you knew them, or the facts as you know them now?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct.
Mr. Mckenzie.
And have you expressed opinions or speculated only when the Commission or Mr. Jenner or myself have asked you to do so?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir, I have.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Have you testified, Mr. Oswald, truthfully to the best of your recollection in each instance?
