Mr. JENNER. Now, in addition to that particular occasion, were there
any instances in which you were directly advised or advised by your
brother or by Mrs. Vada Oswald of any other interviews by any agent of
the United States Government with your brother, after his return from
Russia?
Mr. OSWALD. I believe, sir, to the best of my remembrance on that
question, that I was advised by Lee Harvey Oswald, after he and his
wife took up residence on Mercedes Street in Fort Worth, that the FBI
had contacted him and held an interview with Lee Harvey Oswald in their
car in front of their apartment on Mercedes Street.
Mr. JENNER. When you say in their car, you mean the automobile of the
agents?
Mr. OSWALD. That is correct, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And was that approximately the middle of October--I mean
the middle of August?
Mr. OSWALD. Yes, sir; it would have been approximately the middle of
August 1962.
Mr. JENNER. Your brother reported that to you, did he?
Mr. OSWALD. Yes, sir; he did.
Mr. JENNER. Is that the first information you had about it--that is,
did it come through your brother initially to you?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir; I had indication from Mr. Fain, when he called me
at my office, inquiring as to where Lee was residing at that time, that
they did want to speak to him.
Mr. JENNER. I see.
And I take it, then, that Mr. Fain had called you at your office, as
you testified yesterday, shortly before this interview took place with
your brother.
Mr. OSWALD. That is correct.
Mr. JENNER. Did you inquire of your brother about it, or did he
volunteer it?
Mr. OSWALD. He volunteered the information, sir.
Mr. JENNER. I have forgotten now.
Have I had you recite what your brother said to you about it?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir; you have not.
Mr. JENNER. Would you please state that--and who was present when your
brother related this to you?
Mr. OSWALD. To the best of my remembrance of that occasion, sir, it was
in the presence of my brother, myself, and his wife, Marina N. Oswald.
Mr. JENNER. In their home, or your home?
Mr. OSWALD. In their home, on Mercedes Street--either the afternoon or
the following day of the interview. And he just simply stated to me,
sir, that the FBI had been by and had held an interview with him in
their car in the front of their residence on Mercedes Street.
Mr. JENNER. Did he tell you anything about the thrust of the interview,
anything that had been said, what the inquiries were of him?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir; I do not recall any.
Mr. JENNER. Your recollection now serves you only to say that he did
report to you that FBI agents had interviewed him in their automobile,
in front of or near their apartment on Mercedes Street--2703 Mercedes
Street--is that correct?
Mr. OSWALD. I do not recall the number of the house, sir. I do recall
it was at the Mercedes Street address, and I have exhausted my
recollection of that particular occasion.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall what you said or what others said--that is,
others in addition to your brother--on that particular occasion, when
he recited the event?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir; I do not recall any further comment about that
particular event at that time.
Mr. DULLES. There is one question I would like to ask at this point.
This is slightly on a different subject.
Mrs. Marina Oswald, as I recall--and I don't know whether you were
present, Mr. Jenner, when she gave this testimony or not.
Mr. JENNER. I think not.
Mr. DULLES. She stated that in the later period she had the impression
that your brother was trying to break off a little with, I might
call it, the Russian group in Fort Worth that he had had a good many
contacts with. That is when they called, he did not seem to welcome
their coming, and they slowly stopped coming. I think this was to the
house on Mercedes Street.
Do you have any recollection of that? Did you know about that? Did
Marina speak to you about that? Or did your brother speak to you about
that?
Mr. JENNER. Or did you have any impressions about it?
Mr. OSWALD. Yes, sir; I do have impressions about that--at that
particular time when they were residing in Fort Worth.
