Chairman. Lee what?

      Mrs. Oswald. Lee being an agent.

      But I have really gone into that.

      The Chairman. So really, there are only two more?

      Mrs. Oswald. Yes, sir, my life and Lee's life.

      Now, I would like you to have this picture—if you have not seen it. And I will not comment on it. I want you to study it thoroughly, use a magnifying glass, if possible, and if you care to, we will discuss it.

      Now, this is out of the Post Magazine.

      There is another picture that I would like the Commission to get which, is in the Memorial Issue of President Kennedy—I think it is the Post. I will get that information for you.

      Mr. Doyle. Would you like to advise the Commission generally what you believe they will find out from this?

      Mrs. Oswald. I would rather not comment on that at this particular moment. I submit it to them for them to look over all the people, to study it. I have two. You may have that one for the record.

      Mr. Dulles. What does this purport to be of?

      Mrs. Oswald. That is a picture of the book depository the day of the assassination of President Kennedy. And there are people in the picture.

      The Chairman. Well, is there anything you want us to see in the picture?

      Mrs. Oswald. Well, I would rather you see it yourself. I see what I see.

      The Chairman. What do you see?

      Mrs. Oswald. Well, all right.

      I see Marina and the child—the girl and the baby, it could be Marina.

      The Chairman. Will you show us, please?

      Mrs. Oswald. And, again, I am saying—I cannot be sure this is the picture. But this right here. This girl with this baby could possibly be Marina and June.

      Mr. Rankin. And that is the girl——

      Mrs. Oswald. This girl holding the baby.

      Mr. Rankin. Right next to the door?

      Mrs. Oswald. Yes, sir, right next to the door. In back of her is the hat of a man. I have started this. I will continue.

      (The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 203, for identification.)

      Mr. Rankin. Mr. Chairman, may I offer this?

      The Chairman. Yes.

      Mr. Rankin. I offer in evidence Exhibit 203.

      And that is the photograph that you were just referring to, Mrs. Oswald?

      Mrs. Oswald. Yes, sir, that is the photograph the day of the assassination.

      Mr. Rankin. And you pointed out the girl on the left column——

      Mrs. Oswald. Of the entrance to the book depository, holding a child.

      (The document heretofore marked for identification as Commission Exhibit No. 203 was received in evidence.)

      Mr. Dulles. Do we know the time this was taken?

      Mr. Rankin. Can you tell about the time this was taken?

      Mrs. Oswald. Yes. This, I understand, was when President Kennedy was shot. He is supposed to be holding his throat here. And this is the car. This is right after he passed the book depository, when he is supposed to have been shot.

      The Chairman. Very well. We will adjourn until tomorrow at 10 o'clock.

      (Whereupon, at 4:55 p.m., the President's Commission recessed.)

      TESTIMONY OF MRS. MARGUERITE OSWALD RESUMED

       Table of Contents

      The President's Commission met at 10 a.m. on February 12, 1964, at 200 Maryland Avenue NE., Washington, D.C.

      Present were Chief Justice Earl Warren, Chairman; Representative Hale Boggs and Representative Gerald R. Ford, members.

      Also present were J. Lee Rankin, general counsel; Wesley J. Liebeler, assistant counsel; and John F. Doyle, attorney for Mrs. Marguerite Oswald.

      The Chairman. The Commission will be in order.

      We will proceed to the hearing.

      The Chairman. Mrs. Oswald, did you have anything you wanted to say to us this morning before we start the questioning?

      Mrs. Oswald. Yes, I meant to yesterday morning. I have two or three things that are worrying me.

      Mr. Rankin, on Monday, when I testified that I had not been questioned officially, you told me that I had. And if I remember correctly, sir, you said that there was 28 pages of testimony, or was it 8 pages?

      Mr. Rankin. Twenty-eight, I think.

      Mrs. Oswald. Well, Mr. Doyle, as my attorney—I am very concerned about that, because I want to know—if it is my testimony—because the little while—the testimony that I gave to the FBI when I entered the courthouse was approximately about 10 minutes. They immediately left to investigate. They did not talk to me again, sir.

      And then the only other testimony that I gave on tape was the starting of Lee's defection at the Six Flags Inn, which I would say ran approximately 10 or 15 minutes. And that is the only time I have testified.

      Now, if you have all this other testimony from me, I don't think it is fair, because I should know what I am supposed to have said. I need to know what I am supposed to have said.

      The Chairman. Mrs. Oswald, whatever we have that we are told you have said, you and your attorney are entitled to see, and I will see that you can. We won't delay the proceeding this morning. But you may see it before you leave the building.

      Mrs. Oswald. Yes—it is very important to know that.

      Thank you, Justice Warren.

      The Chairman. All right.

      Mr. Rankin. Mr. Chairman, on that point, will it be satisfactory if we furnish a clean photostatic copy to Mr. Doyle?

      The Chairman. Yes, that will be satisfactory. You may do that, yes.

      Mrs. Oswald. I certainly need to know what I am supposed to have said.

      There is an FBI agent by the name of Mr. John Fain. I will ask you, Mr. Rankin, if you have his address, or do you know about Mr. John Fain?

      Mr. Rankin. I know of Mr. John Fain as one of the agents that had some interviews with your son.

      Mrs. Oswald. Now, Mr. John
