Mr. JENNER. No, discussions.
Mr. OSWALD. Pardon me, no, sir; there was not, not that I recall.
Mr. JENNER. Did you have any discussion with him during the period from
his return in June of 1962 up to November 22, 1963, of his membership
in a gun club while he was in Russia?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir; I did not.
Mr. JENNER. Did any discussion occur between you as to his membership
in any other group while he was in Russia, whether it was a gun club, a
social club, a labor union or otherwise?
Mr. OSWALD. None that I recall, sir.
Mr. JENNER. In one of the letters, your brother Lee asked you whether,
to check to see if, the United States had any, lodged any charges
against him.
Do you recall that?
Mr. OSWALD. Briefly, yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. What did you do when he made that request to you, if any?
Mr. OSWALD. I recall replying to his letter and stated that to my
knowledge, and I could see no reason why they would have any charges
against him for going to Russia, because he was an American citizen,
and he was free to do as he chooses as long as it was not harmful
to the United States Government and I didn't feel like he had done
anything harmful to the United States Government by going to Russia.
Mr. JENNER. Did you ever write in any of the letters that you wrote
him, did you raise the question with him of whether he had in fact
renounced or attempted to renounce his United States citizenship?
Mr. OSWALD. I was advised that, at the time, that we became aware that
Lee was in Russia by newspaper correspondents in Fort Worth, Tex., that
the United States Embassy acting on their own accord, would not allow
him to sign any final papers denouncing his United States citizenship.
Whether he wanted to or not they were attempting to prevent him from
doing this. I never did hear any more about that. Perhaps during the
correspondence or on his return from Russia, this was certainly evident
that he had not signed any final papers denouncing his United States
citizenship.
Mr. JENNER. I take it from your response, sir, that you did not raise
that matter with him in any letters that you wrote to him?
Mr. OSWALD. Not to my recollection, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Did you have any discussion with him on the subject on his
return to the United States?
Mr. OSWALD. Possibly so, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall that distinctly at the moment?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir, I do not.
Mr. JENNER. Did your brother Lee raise again with you, following your
response to his request that you investigate whether or not there were
any other charges against him; did he raise again with you the question
of whether you had made an investigation, whether there were charges?
