*I saw her twice since I left Irving, since I lived with her in Irving.
Senator COOPER. When was that?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. Once, when I lived with Katya Ford in February of this year, and the next time I do not recall--maybe 1 month later. In my house.
Senator COOPER. You had quite an association with her, and I need not recall all of the facts, but is there any reason now that you do not wish to see her?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. One of the reasons is that she belongs to the Civil Liberties Union and I don't want to get mixed up in anything. I already have plenty of grief.
Senator COOPER. Just one other question--is there any other fact about this subject, which you have been asked by the Commission or by anyone else that you have knowledge of that you have not told us about it? Any fact that would bear on this inquiry?* **
*Mrs. OSWALD. I would be glad to, but I don't know of any.

Representative Boggs.

May I just ask one or two questions?
Have you seen Mrs. Marguerite Oswald at any time since you first appeared before the Commission?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.

Representative Boggs.

Have you heard from her?

Mrs. Oswald.

No.

Representative Boggs.

You've had no communication from her either directly or indirectly?* **

Mrs. Oswald.

No.
*She tried to get in touch with me.
**Through Attorney McKenzie.

Representative Boggs.

And you refused to see her?

Mrs. Oswald.

Yes.
*I think that she may hake been bad influence with the children--improper influence with the children.
**I feel that--I hardly believe--that Lee Oswald really tried to kill President Kennedy.

Mrs. Oswald.

I feel in my own mind that Lee did not have President Kennedy as a prime target when he assassinated him.

Representative Boggs.

Well, who was it?
*Mrs. OSWALD. I think it was Connally. That's my personal opinion that he perhaps was shooting at Governor Connally, the Governor of Texas.
Senator RUSSELL. You've testified before us before that Lee told you he was coming back to Texas--if he was back in Texas, he would vote for Connally for Governor. Why do you think he would shoot him?

Mrs. Oswald.

**I feel that the reason that he had Connally in his mind was on account of his discharge from the Marines and various letters they exchanged between the Marine Corps and the Governor's office, but actually, I didn't think that he had any idea concerning President Kennedy.

Representative Boggs.

Well, now, my next question is---did he ever express any hostility to Governor Connally?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. He never expressed that to me his displeasure or hatred of Connally, but I feel that there could have been some connection, due to the fact that Lee was dishonorably discharged from the Corps. and there was an exchange of letters between the Governor's Office and Lee. That's my personal opinion.

Representative Boggs.

Just a minute. Excuse me, Senator.
I asked you in February, Mrs. Oswald, I said, "What motive would you ascribe to your husband in killing President Kennedy?" And, you said, "As I saw the documents that were being read to me, I came to the conclusion that he wanted by any means, good or bad to get into history, and now that I've read a part of the translation of some of the documents, I think that there was some political foundation to it, a foundation of which I am not aware."
And then you go on and you express no doubt in your mi~d that he intended to kill President Kennedy.

Mrs. Oswald.

**Did I say that, this last time in Dallas? The last time in Dallas, apparently there was some misunderstanding on the part of my answers
