this period of time, have occasion to visit them at the Adolphus Hotel?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I did.

      Mr. Jenner. And is that recorded in your memorandum.

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; it is.

      Mr. Jenner. Then I don't wish to burden the record by asking you about it again.

      Did you have occasion to visit them at the Executive Inn?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I did.

      Mr. Jenner. And is that recorded in your memorandum?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; it is.

      Mr. Jenner. Identify the page, please.

      Mr. Oswald. That begins on page 14, at the bottom of the page, under the date of Sunday, November 24, 1963.

      Mr. Jenner. And on that same day, did they move to the Inn of the Six Flags?

      Mr. Oswald. That is right—later on in the afternoon, Sunday, November 24.

      Mr. Jenner. Did you accompany them on that occasion?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I did. I was in a separate car, but they were in the same party.

      Mr. Jenner. All three phases, Mr. Oswald—Adolphus Hotel, Executive Inn, and the journey to and living at the Inn of the Six Flags, they are recorded in your memorandum?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; they are.

      Mr. Jenner. Did there come a time when differences arose between Marina and your mother?

      Mr. McKenzie. You have covered that.

      Mr. Jenner. Are you sure?

      Mr. McKenzie. I will submit it to the Chair.

      Mr. Dulles. I would think so. I think that has been covered.

      Mr. Oswald. Did you want me to answer that, sir?

      Mr. Jenner. We don't want it if it is repetitious.

      Mr. Oswald. I believe that has already been testified to, sir.

      Mr. Jenner. During the course of the days immediately following November 22, 1963, whether at the Adolphus or the Executive Inn or the Inn of the Six Flags, did any time arise, any talk with you or in your presence, of a supposed possible conspiracy between the Secret Service men on the one hand and Marina on the other?

      Mr. Oswald. No, sir; there was not.

      Mr. Jenner. Nothing of that character arose, as far as you can recall?

      Mr. Oswald. No, sir.

      Mr. Jenner. And I may say to you, Mr. Oswald, that the purpose of asking you that question is a statement made by your mother that there was a conspiracy between Marina and the Secret Service to turn Marina against your mother and against your brother, Lee Harvey Oswald, or the memory of your brother.

      Mr. Oswald. I would say to the best of my remembrance of all happenings at the Inn of the Six Flags that at no time, to my knowledge, was there any type of conspiracy of that nature, and at no time was I aware of any type of conspiracy that would even resemble that statement, sir.

      Mr. Jenner. All right.

      Mr. Dulles. As I recall, however, you have testified that you discussed with the Secret Service the type of interrogation that the FBI were carrying on, and that has been fully presented in the record.

      Mr. Oswald. That is right.

      Mr. Jenner. Following November 22, 1963, you saw a good deal of Marina, did you not in those few days? You were guiding her and advising her?

      Mr. Oswald. That is right.

      Mr. Jenner. And you already testified that on at least one occasion, or maybe two, that you had taken her to your brother's grave in the cemetery.

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; on quite a few other occasions also.

      Mr. Jenner. In addition?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.

      Mr. Dulles. And in your memorandum or diary—I don't know how we described that, but I think variously as memorandum or diary.

      Mr. Jenner. I would say memorandum, except the last pages a diary.

      Mr. Dulles. In your memorandum you have recounted certain problems in connection with the funeral arrangements. Is there anything else you would like to add to that?

      Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I would not.

      Mr. Jenner. On the basis of your participating in the course of events subsequent to November 22, and your continuing presence at the Inn, and advising your sister-in-law, Marina, do you have an opinion as to whether the Secret Service or anyone else was overly influencing Marina? Or even that they were attempting to influence her?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I believe that—perhaps I did not get the full statement there. I believe you included anyone, including the Secret Service agents.

      Mr. Jenner. Could we confine it to the Secret Service first?

      Mr. Oswald. All right.

      In answer to that part of the question, I would say I felt like they were not attempting to influence Marina.

      Mr. Jenner. Would it be your impression that they were trying to be completely fair, even leaning over backwards? Or do you have any impression in that respect?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I do have an impression and opinion on that.

      Mr. Jenner. Would you state it?

      Mr. Oswald. That I felt at no time during our stay at the Inn of the Six Flags during the week of November 25, 1963, including Sunday, November 24, 1963, that the United States Secret Service agents that were present at one time or another did anything other than to be extremely helpful to Marina, and not to the point of attempting to affect her judgment or to, so to speak, put words into her mouth, or in any way lead her with relation to the events that had occurred on November 22, 1963, or prior events that she had recorded on her tape recording interview in the Inn of the Six Flags, or the events that happened Sunday, November 23, 1963, until the time she left the Inn of the Six Flags.

      In other words, they conducted themselves in a highly admirable way at all times.

      Mr. Jenner. Now, would you give us your same opinion with respect to the FBI?

      Mr. Oswald. As I testified yesterday, sir; I was of the opinion on the first and the second interview—and I refer to the first interview as I did yesterday as an attempted interview, and I referred to the second interview, to the best of my recollection it was the second interview, at which time the FBI, in my opinion, kept Marina Oswald in an interview to the extent that it had almost entirely exhausted her.

      Mr. Jenner. Is this the occasion you related to us yesterday, or is this another one?

      Mr. Oswald. No, sir; this is the second
