Mr. JENNER. How recent was that? Just a few days ago?
Mr. OSWALD. Within the past 10 days to two weeks--I believe this was
brought about, to the best of my recollection, due to a television
commercial with a little French involved. I gave my total French
vocabulary of parlez vouz Français, or something, and she replied to
that. And we asked her did she speak French, and she said four or five
other words, and she said that was about all of it.
Mr. JENNER. Did your brother ever speak to you or raise the subject of
his jealousy or possible jealousy concerning Marina and any other man
or men?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir, he did not.
Mr. JENNER. And did any discussion of that subject or possible subject
ever take place in your presence by anybody?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir; it did not.
Mr. JENNER. Do you know any of the following members of the Russian
emigré group? I will omit those you have already identified.
George Bouhe?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir; I do not.
Mr. JENNER. Have you ever heard of that name?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir; I have not.
Mr. JENNER. Teofil Meller?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir; I do not.
Mr. JENNER. Have you ever heard the name before?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir; I have not.
Mr. JENNER. Elena Hall?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir, I do not.
Mr. JENNER. Have you ever heard the name before?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir, I have not.
Mr. JENNER. Mrs. Frank H. Ray?
Mr. OSWALD. Yes, sir, I have.
Mr. JENNER. Have you heard that name or know of it during the lifetime
of your brother Lee?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir; I did not.
Mr. JENNER. You became acquainted with that name, with that person,
subsequent to his death?
Mr. OSWALD. Yes, sir; that is correct.
Mr. JENNER. Are you acquainted with her?
Mr. OSWALD. Yes, sir, I am.
Mr. JENNER. What were the circumstances, and when?
Mr. OSWALD. On February 19, 1964, I went to Mr. and Mrs. Declan Ford's
home from Denton, Tex., on my way to Washington, D.C., to visit with
Marina briefly, 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.
