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. Not to my knowledge, sir.

      Mr. Jenner. Did she, in your presence, or to your knowledge, through other means ever make fun of his ideas? Deprecate his ideas?

      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 identified and admitted in evidence, be set forth in full in the transcript?

      Mr. Dulles. I think it would be useful to do that.

      Mr. Jenner. I think this would be a good point to do that. I will ask Mr. Oswald a few things.

      Have you recorded in your notebook how the assassination of the President first came to your attention, where you were, where you proceeded from that point on, and what occurred with respect to the subject matter really from minute to minute or hour to hour throughout the course of the day?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I have.

      Mr. Jenner. And all of your conversations and your contacts with anyone during the course of the day having relation to the subject matter of the assassination of President Kennedy on that day?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I believe I do.

      Mr. Jenner. And the subsequent arrest of your brother and your visit to the City Jail?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; that is correct.

      Mr. Jenner. And is that likewise true—that is a detailed recording of the course of events as you participated in them on the 23d and 24th of November?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; that is correct.

      Mr. Jenner. Now, Mr. McKenzie has kindly asked a question that I would wish also to join in and put to you.

      Having glanced through the memorandum again, or read it—is there anything you wish to add to any of the recordings that you have made in your notebook?

      Mr. Oswald. Well——

      Mr. Jenner. That is that you might have been stimulated during the course of the questioning yesterday and today to recall, that you did not recall at the time you made those entries?

      Mr. Oswald. No, sir—not to the entries or material that is already in here. Of course this is not complete to the extent it is my intention to complete at least as fully as I possibly can the entire week out at the Inn of the Six Flags—and possibly other events that has occurred to me since that time that would be more in the nature of a personal nature than anything that perhaps the Commission would be interested in. However, I might say that any time that I do complete this, I would certainly turn it over to the Commission, if they or my attorney deemed it necessary.

      Mr. Jenner. If you elaborate further on your memorandum, as I understand, you will supply the Commission with a copy, and with your willingness also to exhibit the original of what you add to it?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.

      Mr. McKenzie. Yes, sir, we shall.

      Mr. Jenner. Mr. Chairman, you have read the memorandum. It does purport to state in some detail and accuracy the course of events of the 22d, 23d, and 24th, and during that week.

      Was there anything in the course of your reading that memorandum that might have led you to pose any further questions of the witness?

      Mr. Dulles. No, I think not at this time. I would have to go over it again and I will do that. But, at this time—it seemed to me, as I read it, to cover the area you have indicated.

      I, of course, cannot myself judge the completeness of it. But it seems to cover the points that I would have questioned the witness on if I had not had the diary available.

      Mr. Jenner. There is this feature. Mr. Liebeler and I have not examined the memorandum in depth with a view as to whether any thing said in it would stimulate us to ask further questions. I read it last night, but not with a view in mind of asking additional questions.

      Mr. Dulles. Well, I read it from the same angle. I read it during these proceedings, and, therefore, I was distracted from time to time. I think it is a very helpful memorandum from the point of view of the Commission.

      Do you wish to—it has been introduced in evidence.

      Mr. Jenner. It is in the record.

      Mr. Dulles. But do you wish it put in this record?

      Mr. Jenner. Yes, I would like to have it recited in full in the record. And as I recall, you agreed, Mr. Oswald, to dictate—to take the memorandum and dictate it aloud on a tape, and Mr. McKenzie will forward the tape to us.

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I have so agreed.

      Mr. Dulles. And when you do forward it, would you kindly advise us at that time if there is anything on a rereading of this memorandum which you would like to supplement or add which you feel will be essential for the Commission to have, or desirable for the Commission to have?

      Mr. Oswald. I will certainly do so, sir.

      Mr. McKenzie. And, further, Mr. Dulles, in the event that any of the attorneys representing or working with the Commission see fit to be in Dallas in the course of the investigation of the Commission, with a little
