(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)

Mr. Oswald.
On February 19, 1964, I went to Mr. and Mrs. Declan Ford's home from Denton, Tex., on my way to Washington, D.C., to visit with Marina briefly, and on arrival there Mrs. Ray--and I feel like this is the same one--was babysitting with the youngest child of Lee Harvey and Marina N. Oswald. Also, Mr. and Mrs. Declan Ford's child and her own child. And I had a coffee and waited on a taxicab.
Mr. Jenner.
That is the extent of your acquaintance with her?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
That is the first time you ever saw or met or heard of her?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
To the best of your information, did Marina ever tease your brother Lee in public?
Mr. Oswald.
Not to my knowledge, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Did she, in your presence, or to your knowledge, through other means ever make fun of his ideas? Deprecate his ideas?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; not to my knowledge.
Mr. Jenner.
Did she ever, in your presence, ever make any comments with respect to your brother's sexual power?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; she did not.
Mr. Jenner.
Was the subject of sex as between your brother and Marina ever discussed?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; it was not.
Mr. Jenner.
And do you know whether any remarks of that nature were made by anyone, including Marina, to or in the presence of your wife, Vada?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Has anyone or did anyone during the lifetime of your brother ever discuss or raise the subject with you?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir, they did not.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you ever during all the period of your brother's lifetime, ever hear any discussion?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I did not.
Mr. Jenner.
On that subject?
Mr. Oswald.
No sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you record in your memorandum, diary, all of the course of events of November 22, 1963, in which you took any part? In particular, your visit to the police station on November 22d.
What I am getting at, Mr. Oswald--if what you have written in your memorandum represents your best and sharpest recollection of the course of events recorded there as of the time you wrote that--that may satisfy the gentleman who wished that inquiry to be made.
Mr. Oswald.
Referring to the time I arrived at the Dallas police station?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mr. Oswald.
On the night of November 22, 1963?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Is there anything
Mr. Jenner.
And any other visits that you made on the 23d or 24th.
Mr. Mckenzie.
Other than what is in your diary, is there anything else you could add to it in the way of expanding on what is in your diary?
Mr. Chairman, also in the interests of a chronological and connected record, having in mind the context of the record when it is read, may I suggest that the memorandum diary which we have identified and admitted in evidence, be set forth in full in the transcript?
Mr. Dulles.
I think it would be useful to do that.
Mr. Jenner.
I think this would be a good point to do that. I will ask Mr. Oswald a few things.
Have you recorded in your notebook how the assassination of the President first came to your attention, where you were, where you proceeded from that point on, and what occurred with respect to the subject matter really from minute to minute or hour to hour throughout the course of the day?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I have.
Mr. Jenner.
And all of your conversations and your contacts with anyone
