other than Paul Gregory, the teaching or increasing the facility of use of the Russian language on the part of someone else?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir. And if I may, sir, to understand the question fully—you referred to the day after Thanksgiving, 1962, as the day that they had left Fort Worth, Tex. They had given up their residence on Mercedes Street in the early part of October 1962, and moved to Dallas, Tex., address unknown to me. On the occasion referred to on Thanksgiving 1962, it was my understanding that they returned to Dallas when they departed from my home in Fort Worth, Tex.
Mr. Jenner. You are absolutely correct.
I did misstate your testimony. But up until the time they did leave, were there any further occasions on which you received the impression, at least, that Marina had been engaged, either for compensation or voluntarily in teaching conversational Russian or increasing the facility or use of the Russian language by someone else?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I am not acquainted with any other persons that perhaps she had pursued this line of employment with, or volunteered to instruct anybody else in the use of the Russian language.
Mr. Jenner. Does that exhaust this subject, Mr. Chairman?
Mr. Dulles. Yes. You may proceed.
Mr. Jenner. At any time before Marina and Lee left Fort Worth to go to Dallas, did you become aware of her, at least from time to time, living with others in the city of Fort Worth—that is, not living with your brother in their home?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I was not aware of that.
Mr. Jenner. Mr. Oswald; I anticipate that a series of names which I am about to put to you would in large part be strange to you, but one of the other divisions of the investigation staff desires me to inquire whether any of these names are familiar to you.
Prior to November 22, 1963, did you or your brother, Lee, or any member of the Oswald family—that would include your brother John and your mother—as far as you know hear of any of the following persons:
Mr. Chairman, may I withdraw that question and put it to the witness first.
Did you, at any time prior to November 22, 1963, know of or hear of any of the following persons:
One, George Senator?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I have not.
Mr. Jenner. And that name is unfamiliar to you?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Ralph Paul?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I did not.
Mr. Dulles. We will assume that each of those questions the name is also unfamiliar to you.
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
If you would like, may I suggest that you read the entire list and if any of them are familiar to me I would stop you on that occasion.
Mr. Jenner. Thank you.
Andrew Armstrong; Karen Bennett, also sometimes known as Carlin; Bruce Carlin; Roy William Pike, alias Mickey Ryan; Robert Kermit Patterson, alias Bobby Patterson; Donald C. Stuart; Charles Arndt; Stanley or Katch Skotnicki; Larry Crafard; Eva Grant; Joe Bonds; Joyce Lee McDonald, also known as Joy Dale.
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I have not heard of any of those people mentioned by name, nor am I familiar with any of their names.
Mr. Jenner. And as far as you know, none of the members of your family, including your brother Lee, and Marina, knew of, or were acquainted with any of these people?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. And this likewise would include your wife Vada and your mother and your brother John?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Do you know whether or not your brother Lee ever visited any of the following night clubs, bars, or taverns or restaurants in the Dallas-Fort Worth area:
The Bullpen Drive-In; the Carousel Club.
Mr. Oswald. Pardon me, Mr. Jenner. This is prior to November 23, 1963—is that correct?
Mr. Jenner. It is, sir.
Mr. Oswald. Thank you.
Mr. Jenner. I will repeat the list.
The Bullpen Drive-in; the Carousel Club; the Vegas Club; the Sovereign Club.
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I am not aware at any time that he did enter these establishments.
Mr. Jenner. Have you been in any of these establishments?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I have not.
Mr. Jenner. This leads me to ask you about your brother's drinking habits, if any. Did he take an occasional drink—I mean of intoxicating liquor?
Mr. Oswald. To the best of my remembrance, sir, on that particular point, I have never known him to take a drink of an alcoholic beverage.
Mr. Jenner. And have you been with him on occasion when you have had alcoholic beverage, whereas at the same time he declined to have any, or did not have any?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not recall any occasion such as that.
Mr. Jenner. Were there occasions on which you would have drawn to your attention the fact that your brother was not a drinking man—even a social drinker?
That is, were you present when others might have been having a social drink at which your brother either declined or just didn't have one?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not recall any such incident.
Mr. Jenner. But you do have a firm recollection or opinion, in any event, that your brother was not a drinking man, even a social drinker?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. And am I correct that you did testify a moment ago that there was never an occasion when you saw your brother imbibe an intoxicating liquor?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. What about Marina in that respect?
Mr. Oswald. There, again, sir, we are referring to the time prior to November 23, 1963, is that correct?
Mr. Jenner. Well, let's take that first.
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I have not.
Nor was I present on any occasion that she did take a drink of any type of alcoholic beverage.
Mr. Jenner. Now, I will take the period from the 22d of November to the present time.
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, I have been in her presence on a number of occasions where she has taken a drink of an alcoholic beverage.
Mr. Jenner. And has it been just an occasional drink, purely social drinking?
Mr. Oswald.
