Mrs. Oswald.

Yes; once he took us both home to see his daughter. He took us--took me to see his daughter, at a time when I was living in Fort Worth, and Lee was living in Dallas. I might be confused about just who went, and when.

Representative Ford.

But he only took you once from one place to his house?

Mrs. Oswald.

No; we went several times to his house. Maybe two or three times.

Representative Ford.

Did Lee accompany you on any of these occasions?

Mrs. Oswald.

Mr. De Mohrenschildt took us once to the Ford's house. It was on New Year's, I think, Katya Ford's house. It was either Christmas or New Year's. I don't think that Mr. De Mohrenschildt is as dangerous as he sounds. This is my personal opinion.

Representative Ford.

I wasn't implying that he was dangerous. I was just trying to----

Mrs. Oswald.

He talks all the time. Did he appear before the Commission or not?

Mr. Rankin.

We have his testimony.

Representative Ford.

I have nothing further.

The Chairman.

I think that is all, Mrs. Oswald. Thank you very much.

Mr. Mckenzie.

I have some questions, if I may.

The Chairman.

Yes; Mr. McKenzie.

Mr. Mckenzie.

You mentioned earlier, in response to some question, your husband had stated that the Soviet Government wanted him to become a Soviet citizen, but that his diary says the opposite.
When did you first learn that the Soviet Government wanted Lee Harvey Oswald to become a Soviet citizen?

Mrs. Oswald.

I heard this 3 months after we were married, from Lee.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Did any Soviet----

Mr. Dulles.

Who did you hear it from?

Mrs. Oswald.

From Lee.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Did any Soviet Government official come to see you or Lee after you were married, and visit with you?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Did Lee, from time to time, have to report to any Soviet Government agency after you were married?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.

Mr. Mckenzie.

And how often did he make a report to a government official or to a government agency?

Mrs. Oswald.

He had to go every month or every 3 months. I don't remember how often. It was either every month or every 2 or 3 and get a stamp in his residence permit.

Mr. Mckenzie.

And how long would he be gone on those occasions from home, or from work?

Mrs. Oswald.

About half an hour.

Mr. Mckenzie.

You have mentioned that he had Cuban friends and friends from the Argentine in Minsk. Did he ever have any Mexican friends in Minsk?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.

Mr. Mckenzie.

Did he ever mention to you anyone that he knew in Mexico, either from Cuba or from the Soviet Union or from any other place, any name of anyone?

Mrs. Oswald.

He might have had some, but I don't know anything about any of them. He never mentioned it.

Mr. Mckenzie.

It has been reported that--in the papers--that at the time you left New Orleans, or at the time that Lee Harvey Oswald left New Orleans, that he had two books on Marxism and a fiction book written by Ian Fleming called "To Russia With Love." Do you recall seeing that book there in the apartment?

Mrs. Oswald.

I only knew about the two books on Marxism and Leninism. I don't know anything about this third one.
Mr. McKENZIE. And those books you know about, were they books from the public library in New Orleans?

Mrs. Oswald.

I think these were his own private possession. I think he had even a book in English when he was in Russia on Marxism.
