Mr. McKENZIE. And you have been cleared for Government security
purposes?
Mr. COULTER. That is right. The clearance began about August. I had
some part-time jobs, freelance work, between the dates, but nothing
permanent.
Mr. McKENZIE. But for a number of years you were an interpreter at the
United Nations?
Mr. COULTER. About 3 years.
Mr. McKENZIE. And then you started getting a security clearance, and
for the past 3 months you have been employed by the State Department as
an interpreter?
Mr. COULTER. Yes.
Mr. McKENZIE. You were the interpreter present this morning when Mrs.
Oswald commenced her testimony on this occasion?
Mr. COULTER. I was.
Mr. McKENZIE. And all the above and foregoing testimony previously
testified to from the beginning of this session this morning up through
now, you have interpreted; have you not?
Mr. COULTER. I have.
Mrs. OSWALD. I appreciate Mr. Coulter helping me.
Mr. McKENZIE. Mr. Rankin, the purpose and reason behind my asking
you to show his qualifications, the interpreter's qualifications, is
that the record will reflect that Mrs. Oswald was asked questions in
English, and they were interpreted into Russian, and she has answered
in Russian--and so that the record will show she was not answering in
English.
