Chairman. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 107, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 108 is an original one sheet of paper, with handwriting in ink, in Russian, on one page.
Mrs. Oswald. These are the lyrics of a popular song.
Mr. Rankin. A Russian popular song?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes. This is Armenian—an Armenian popular song.
Mr. Rankin. I offer in evidence Exhibit 108.
The Chairman. It is admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 108, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 109 is one sheet with handwriting in ink on both sides, an original.
Mrs. Oswald. This was simply my recollection of some song lyrics and the names of some songs that people had asked me.
Mr. Rankin. I offer Exhibit 109.
The Chairman. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 109, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 110 is a yellow legal sized sheet with handwriting in Russian which seems to be interpreted in English below it, together with a little stamp. I can explain the stamp. It says FBI Laboratory.
Mrs. Oswald. This is when George Bouhe was giving me lessons. I translated from Russian into English—not very successfully—my first lessons.
Mr. Rankin. I offer Exhibit 110.
The Chairman. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 110, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Rankin. When was it that George Bouhe was teaching you English and you wrote this out?
Mrs. Oswald. This was in July 1962. I don't remember when I arrived—in '62 or '61.
Mr. Rankin. Is the handwriting in Exhibit 110 in the Russian as well as the English in your handwriting?
Mrs. Oswald. No. The Russian is written by Bouhe, and the English is written by me.
Mr. Rankin. Did you make the translation from the Russian into the English by yourself?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, I had to study English.
Mr. Rankin. Did you have a dictionary to work with?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. So you were taking a Russian-English dictionary and trying to convert the Russian words that he wrote out into English, is that right?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 111 is a book written in Russian, a pocket book.
Mrs. Oswald. This is my book.
Mr. Rankin. Do you notice some of the letters are cut out of that book, Exhibit 111?
Mrs. Oswald. Letters?
I see that for the first time.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know who did that?
Mrs. Oswald. Probably Lee was working, but I never saw that. I don't know what he did that for.
Mr. Rankin. You never saw him while he was working with that?
Mrs. Oswald. No. I would have shown him if I had seen him doing that to my book.
Mr. Rankin. You know sometimes messages are made up by cutting out letters that way and putting them together to make words.
Mrs. Oswald. I read about it.
Mr. Rankin. You have never seen him do that?
Mrs. Oswald. No.
Mr. Rankin. I offer Exhibit 111.
The Chairman. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 111, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 112 is an apparent application—an applicant's driving record.
Mrs. Oswald. I have never seen this.
Mr. Thorne. It is in English.
Mr. Rankin. That is not your driving record, then?
Mrs. Oswald. No.
Mr. Rankin. You don't know whether it was your husband's?
Mrs. Oswald. I don't know.
Mr. Thorne. May I clarify the exhibit? It is an application for a Texas driver's license. Standard form application.
Mr. Rankin. We offer in evidence Exhibit 112.
The Chairman. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 112, and received in evidence.)
Mrs. Oswald. It is quite possible that Lee prepared that, because Ruth Paine insisted on Lee's obtaining a license.
Mr. Rankin. Did you hear her insist?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes. She said it would be good to have.
Mr. Rankin. And when was that?
Mrs. Oswald. October or November.
Mr. Rankin. 1962?
Mrs. Oswald. '63.
Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 113 is a driver's handbook published by the State of Texas.
Mrs. Oswald. We had this book for quite some time. George Bouhe had given that to Lee if he at some time would try to learn how to drive.
Mr. Rankin. I offer in evidence Exhibit 113.
The Chairman. It may be admitted.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 113, and received in evidence.)
Mr. Rankin. Was your husband able to drive a car?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, I think that he knew how. Ruth taught him how.
Mr. Rankin. Did he have a driver's license that you know of?
Mrs. Oswald. No.
This is a Russian camera of Lee's—binoculars.
Mr. Thorne. Exhibit 114 is a leather case containing a pair of binoculars.
Mr. Rankin. Do you remember having seen those binoculars,
