That is another reason why I think that Lee was probably an agent.
Mr. RANKIN. What do you mean by that, Mrs. Oswald? Could you explain
that a little more?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes. I do not think they wanted me to have the
dishonorable discharge.
Again, they wanted me to be upset and tell people about it, but not
have the proof of the dishonorable discharge.
Mr. RANKIN. Don't you think it is possible that they felt he was the
one involved, and, therefore, they had to get the word directly to him
for legal reasons?
Mrs. OSWALD. No, sir, because, legally--I am glad you brought up the
point, Mr. Rankin.
Your copies state that anyone can act in your behalf. And I wrote, as I
read the copy, that I would be willing to act in my son's behalf, and I
was making arrangements to get money and go there and act in his behalf
because I had pertinent information. And they ignored my letter and
sent this--yes, sir.
Mr. RANKIN. They may have felt you had not been given authority to act.
Mrs. OSWALD. Well, what they may feel and what they should do--I am
saying I am an American citizen, and I have some rights. And when I
want to act in behalf of my son, we don't know whether he is living or
dead, then I should act in behalf, I should not get a return.
I am glad you are bringing these points up. My rights have been invaded
and my son's.
