(Testimony of Mrs. Marguerite Oswald Resumed)

Mrs. Oswald.
as you see in the picture, escorted my son's body from the chapel and put it at the grave site. And when we went to the cemetery, we went directly to the chapel, because we were promised to have chapel services. And the chapel was empty. My son's body was not in it. Robert cried bitterly.
Mr. Rankin.
Mrs. Oswald. can I interrupt a minute?
We will have the reporter identify this photograph that you just referred to, where the FBI agent is in the lefthand corner.
(The photograph referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 165 for identification.)
Mr. Rankin.
The photograph I have just referred to is Exhibit 165, is it?
Mrs. Oswald.
Exhibit 165.
Mr. Rankin.
And the FBI agent you refer to is ill the upper lefthand corner of that exhibit.
Mrs. Oswald.
That's right. And this is the other FBI agent, Mr. Mike Howard, who is going to be involved quite a bit. He is the one that was taking care of Baine Johnson. He is the one that they have now sent to protect me in Fort Worth. He was the lead man at Six Flags.
Mr. Rankin.
And he stands right behind you there in that picture?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes, that is Mr. Mike Howard.
Mr. Rankin.
Isn't he a Secret Service man?
Mrs. Oswald.
Secret Service man--they are both Secret Service.
Representative Ford.
That was the point I wanted to make, because she had said he was an FBI agent.
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes--please interrupt. It is awful hard for me to remember and say things. So I appreciate you doing that. It is a long story. And I have many stories, gentlemen. I have many stories that I am sure you do not have.
Mr. Rankin.
Mrs..Oswald, I'll ask the reporter to mark the other picture with the chapel and the casket as Exhibit 166.
(The photograph referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 166 for identification.)
Mr. Rankin.
Can you tell us if Exhibit 166 is a photograph showing the removing of the casket?
Mrs. Oswald.
The way the men are coming this way, they are leaving the chapel. That is the way I would assume. They are leaving the chapel. But the body was not at the chapel. What an awful thing we went through, gentlemen.
Mr. Rankin.
We offer in evidence Exhibits 165 and 166, and ask to substitute copies.
The Chairman.
They may be admitted.
(The documents heretofore marked Commission Exhibits Nos. 165 and 166 were received in evidence.)
Mr. Rankin.
Mr. Reporter, I will ask you to mark the picture of the chapel with the casket apparently going in as Exhibit 167.
(The photograph referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 167 for identification.)
Mr. Rankin.
And the picture of the chapel and the casket being placed on a carrier in front of it, as Exhibit 168.
(The photograph referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 168 for identification.)
Mr. Rankin.
Mrs. Oswald, do you recall that Exhibit 167 is the picture of them taking the casket into the chapel?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
And Exhibit 168 is apparently a picture in front of the chapel where they are putting the casket on a carrier?
Mrs. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin.
We offer in evidence Exhibits 167 and 168 and ask leave to substitute copies.
The Chairman.
They may be admitted.
(The photographs previously marked Commission Exhibits Nos. 167 and 168 for identification were received in evidence.)
Mrs. Oswald.
Now, I don't remember if I stated while at Six Flags that
