Mr. Jenner. And——
Mr. Oswald. If I may qualify one point of that statement, as to being a social drink—during the period that we was at the Inn of the Six Flags in Arlington, Tex., the baby, Rachel Oswald, being breast fed, and due to the nature that she was quite upset at that particular time, that she was not eating proper, and that they were having some difficulty—she was having difficulty maintaining the natural milk supply in her own body for the baby, that one six-pack of beer was brought in, and at no time did I see her drink other than one beer at a time or one beer per day to help fortify herself in this production of milk.
Mr. Jenner. Did you ever hear any conversation in which your brother participated or Marina participated with you or in your presence respecting the subject of his or her or their attendance at any night club, bar, tavern, or restaurant in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and when I use the word restaurant, I am thinking of a restaurant in which intoxicating liquors or entertainment might be employed.
Mr. Oswald. I am sorry I keep referring to this point again, sir, but this was prior to November 23, 1963?
Mr. Jenner. Yes, sir.
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I was not aware of that.
Mr. Jenner. All right. That is, your brother and Marina were not in the habit of—you know of no occasion on which they attended bars or restaurants with entertainment which might be described as night clubs and that sort of thing?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And I take it that is not your habit, either?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Dulles. To your knowledge, did he have any friends in this circle, the nightclub circle?
Mr. Oswald. Not that I was aware of, sir, prior to November 23, 1963.
Mr. Jenner. Do you know of any friends or classmates or associates, either of yourself or your brother Lee, who have become nightclub entertainers? And may I say that includes so-called stripteasers or musicians or singers, or masters of ceremony.
Mr. Oswald. If I may refresh my memory to the question, sir, you did include myself in that statement, did you not?
Mr. Jenner. Yes, sir.
Mr. Oswald. The only gentleman that I was ever in a remote way acquainted with who has become perhaps what might be determined an entertainer as you have outlined was a boy that attended high school with me in Fort Worth, Tex., and he is now known as, as then—I believe his correct name is Mr. Van Williams. If I might pinpoint the series of programs on television that he appeared in was Surfside Six, and other western and detective type series programs on television.
Mr. Jenner. Do you know whether your brother was acquainted with him?
Mr. Oswald. I would be of the opinion, sir, that he was not acquainted with Mr. Williams.
Mr. Jenner. Now, do you know of any friends, classmates or associates of either yourself or your brother Lee who have become waitresses, bartenders, or, to use the vernacular, bouncers?
You know what a bouncer is?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
To answer your question, sir, I do not know of any that are personally acquainted to myself or that I would be of the opinion that were acquainted with Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Jenner. And the same question as to members or employees of any gun clubs or shooting ranges, rifle ranges.
Mr. Oswald. Yes; 1 am acquainted with at least two people who have joined or belonged to a gun club or something of that nature.
Mr. Jenner. Would you please identify them, and also state whether or not your brother Lee was acquainted with these people.
Mr. Oswald. Mr. Bill Harlan, formerly of the Acme Brick Co., in Fort Worth, Tex., and Mr.—I am quite sure that Mr. Harlan is not acquainted with my brother, Lee Harvey Oswald.
The other gentleman is Mr. Jewel Godi, of the Acme Brick Co., in Denton, Tex., who is not acquainted with my brother Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Jenner. I take it these two gentlemen you have identified are fellow employees of Acme Brick Co.?
Mr. Oswald. Or ex-employees that have become my personal friends, sir.
Mr. Jenner. As far as you know—I will withdraw that, because it would be repetitious.
What kind of gun clubs—hunting clubs, or gun practice clubs?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Harlan belonged to an archery club in Fort Worth, Tex., that I believe was also part of a gun club.
And Mr. Godi belongs to a Denton gun club of the nature of a practice range.
Mr. Jenner. Do you know of any possible homosexual tendency or activity of your brother, Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner. Do you have any information as to whether he at any time met with suspected homosexuals or whether he went to the places reputedly frequented by homosexuals?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner. What was your brother's attitude toward sex in general?
Mr. Oswald. I do not have an opinion on that, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Do you have any opinion whether it was a normal, healthy attitude?
Mr. Oswald. I would say it would be a normal, healthy attitude, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Do you have, any—do you know what his attitude was, if he had one and you are acquainted with, toward homosexuality and homosexuals?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I am not of any opinion on that particular question.
Mr. Jenner. And this series of questions which I have been asked to put to you, I intended to include his entire lifetime. And were you answering the questions with that in mind?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir. I would not change my own answers on that basis.
Mr. Jenner. Do you know whether or not any of the persons whose names I read to you, that series of names, beginning with George Senator, and concluding with Joyce Lee McDonald, contacted any member of your family or friends subsequent to November 22, 1963?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; not to my knowledge.
Mr. Jenner. Or any employer or fellow employee of yours?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir. Not to my knowledge.
Mr. Jenner. And I take it from your previous answer, which was that these names were unfamiliar to you, that they certainly did not contact you—at least you did not know consciously that they contacted you.
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. This is not, I anticipate, fully repetitious, Mr. Chairman, but an inquiry has been made—I just want to make certain
