do represent her, and do not desire one dime out of any contributions that she may have received by anyone for the benefit of herself or her children, nor would I accept same.
Mr. Jenner. Do you have a written contract with her?
Mr. McKenzie. I have no written contract with her.
Mr. Jenner. Do you know whether Marina knows or can use or understand any language other than Russian, and other than English, to the extent that she is able to use and understand it?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not. I do know that she knows a little French.
Mr. Jenner. And that is the extent of your information on the subject?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. How do you know that she knows a little French?
Mr. Oswald. During her recent stay at my home in Denton, Tex.——
Mr. Jenner. How recent was that? Just a few days ago?
Mr. Oswald. Within the past 10 days to two weeks—I believe this was brought about, to the best of my recollection, due to a television commercial with a little French involved. I gave my total French vocabulary of parlez vouz Français, or something, and she replied to that. And we asked her did she speak French, and she said four or five other words, and she said that was about all of it.
Mr. Jenner. Did your brother ever speak to you or raise the subject of his jealousy or possible jealousy concerning Marina and any other man or men?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir, he did not.
Mr. Jenner. And did any discussion of that subject or possible subject ever take place in your presence by anybody?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; it did not.
Mr. Jenner. Do you know any of the following members of the Russian emigré group? I will omit those you have already identified.
George Bouhe?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner. Have you ever heard of that name?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I have not.

Mr. Jenner. Mrs. Frank H. Ray?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, I have.
Mr. Jenner. Have you heard that name or know of it during the lifetime of your brother Lee?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I did not.
Mr. Jenner. You became acquainted with that name, with that person, subsequent to his death?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; that is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Are you acquainted with her?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, I am.
Mr. Jenner. What were the circumstances, and when?
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 cup of 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. 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
