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 notice Mr. Oswald will be glad to appear and talk with them at
any time.
Mr. DULLES. Thank you.
And it is, of course, possible that we might wish to recall you. I am
not at all sure, and I hope that will not be necessary. But we always
have to reserve that for the Commission.
Mr. JENNER. There may be other witnesses who will say things upon which
we would like your testimony.
For the period recorded in the memorandum, and the events recorded in
the memorandum, the recordings are full and complete, is that correct?
Mr. OSWALD. That is correct.
Mr. JENNER. And if you wish, or should determine to add to it, it will
be with respect to matters that have occurred subsequently to those
events recorded in the memorandum?
Mr. OSWALD. Yes, sir, that is correct.
Mr. McKENZIE. With one exception, Mr. Jenner. In the event there is
some recollection or something that is recalled to his mind, he would
likewise add that to the memorandum.
Mr. DULLES. I will direct that a photostat of Commission's Exhibit 323
describing the events of November 22, 1963, and immediately following
days insofar as concerns the witness be incorporated in the record at
this point.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 323 for
identification and received in evidence.)
Mr. JENNER. Have you spoken to any member of the Dutz Murret family in
New Orleans since November 22, 1963?
Mr. OSWALD. I have not.
Mr. JENNER. What knowledge do you have as to the cause of the split
between your sister-in-law, Marina, and Ruth Paine?
