(Brief recess.)
Mr. DULLES. The Commission will come to order.
Mr. Jenner, if you will proceed.
Mr. JENNER. Thank you, sir.
Mr. Oswald, we have some data that indicates or confirms the fact that
Mr. Nixon was invited to Dallas in April of 1963, by the Southeast
Dallas Chamber of Commerce to receive the Good American Award, but
that at the last minute it was necessary for him to cancel his
attendance--he was unable to attend, and did not come to Dallas on that
occasion. There was some publicity in connection with the giving of the
award prior to the event. But I take it from your testimony that at
least you did not pursue with Marina or with Mr. Martin their fixing
the time of the event in which Marina, according to the information
given you, locked your brother Lee in the bathroom to prevent him from
any violence on Mr. Nixon.
Mr. OSWALD. That is correct.
Mr. McKENZIE. Mr. Jenner, if I may, with Mr. Dulles' approval,
interrupt you one more time for another statement.
I recall when Mr. Nixon was coming to Dallas at the invitation of Mr.
Carlson and others to receive this award.
However, Mr. Nixon did come to Dallas some time within 6 weeks prior to
November 22, 1963. The exact date I cannot fix, because I don't recall
the exact date.
But it is my best recollection that he was there in that period of time.
Mr. JENNER. Mr. McKenzie, that may well be so.
Our information indicates to the contrary--that he was in Dallas on the
21st of November 1963.
Mr. McKENZIE. That is what I say, sir.
Mr. JENNER. You said several weeks prior.
Mr. McKENZIE. I said some time within 6 weeks prior to November 22d.
Mr. JENNER. Well, our information is that he was in Dallas on the 21st
of November 1963, and not prior to that time.
