with Lee or with Marina?
Mr. Oswald. He certainly recognized Lee. He did not recognize Marina.
Mr. Jenner. Was he introduced to her?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, he was.
Mr. Jenner. On that occasion?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, he was.
Mr. Jenner. In your presence?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And it is your impression that he was not acquainted with her prior to that time?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Or she with him?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct, sir.
Mr. Dulles. Could I ask one question here. Do you know of any other close friends of Lee's?
Mr. Oswald. At that time, sir, I was not aware of any others.
Mr. Dulles. The Fords you met later, I believe, did you not?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, that is correct.
Mr. Dulles. And are they Russian or is one of them Russian?
Mr. Oswald. His wife is originally from Russia.
Mr. Jenner. How did you discover that, Mr. Oswald?
Mr. Oswald. That Mrs. Ford was Russian?
Mr. Jenner. Yes.
Mr. Oswald. I believe Marina told me.
Mr. Jenner. Representative Ford has asked that that subject be inquired into also, sir.
Mr. Dulles. Won't you pursue it then if you wish, in whatever way?
Mr. Jenner. Would you relate to us to the best of your recollection the names of Lee's friends or associates from his return to this country in June 1962 up to and including November 22, 1963?
Mr. Oswald. The only ones I was aware of, sir, other than members of the family, was Mr. Peter Gregory and his son, Paul Gregory.
Mr. Jenner. May I stop you at that moment. You say his son Paul Gregory. Did you come to meet Paul Gregory as well as Peter?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Jenner. On some occasion subsequent to this last week in June of '62?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Jenner. Had you known that there was a Paul Gregory at the time Peter Gregory visited your home in June of '62?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir. He might possibly have mentioned his son at that time, but I do not recall that he did.
Mr. Jenner. You don't have any specific recollection of it?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner. When did you meet Paul Gregory?
Mr. Oswald. Approximately 2 or 3 days later.
Mr. Jenner. Under what circumstances?
Mr. Oswald. Mr. Peter Gregory and Mr. Paul Gregory both came to the house.
Mr. Jenner. And this is the second occasion of Mr. Gregory being in your home, to which you have already alluded?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And what was the purpose of their visit at your house on that occasion?
Mr. Oswald. To meet with Lee and Marina again, and to the best of my remembrance, for his son, Paul Gregory, who was attending either the University of Oklahoma or Oklahoma University, or Oklahoma State University, at which he was studying the Russian language.
And I believe at this time he stated he was a junior at the university, and that he wanted to be around others who spoke the Russian language, besides his father, to improve his language, or his knowledge of the Russian language.
Mr. Jenner. Was that stated in your presence?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, it was.
Mr. Jenner. In this case, you now identified?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. By Paul Gregory?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Did he attempt to converse, or converse with Lee, and/or with Marina in Russian on that occasion?
Mr. Oswald. He did with both.
Mr. Jenner. And on both occasions did Peter Gregory confer or talk with Lee and Marina or either of them or both of them in Russian?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, they did.
Mr. Jenner. Were you forewarned or did you have notice that the Gregorys, Paul and Peter, were to visit you on the second occasion?
Mr. Oswald. I do not recall, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Do you recall any conversation you had with your brother in advance of that visit, or with Marina on that subject?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir, I do not recall any.
Mr. Jenner. Are those the only two occasions that you ever saw or talked with Peter Gregory?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir, it was not.
Mr. Jenner. When subsequent to the second visit to your home, the first time subsequent thereto, did you see or speak with Peter Gregory?
Mr. Oswald. I spoke again with Mr. Peter Gregory on Sunday morning, November 24, 1963.
Mr. Jenner. So it was an occasion subsequent to the death of President Kennedy?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Where did that take place?
Mr. Oswald. At Howard Johnson's Restaurant on the turnpike between Fort Worth and Dallas.
Mr. Jenner. How did that come about?
Mr. Oswald. I was to meet Mr. Gregory and two Secret Service agents at that establishment, to proceed with them from there to the Executive Inn at Dallas, Tex.
Mr. Jenner. Who had arranged that rendezvous?
Mr. Oswald. By mutual consent between myself and the Secret Service agent, Mike Howard.
Mr. Jenner. Mr. Howard suggested it?
Mr. Oswald. He suggested this as a point of rendezvous on our way to Dallas.
Mr. Dulles. I believe this is described in your diary, is it not?
Mr.
