Mrs. OSWALD. On the boat there were two Rumanian girls we talked with,
since I had studied a little bit of Moldavian before, which is similar
to Russian, and could speak a little. And on that basis we met and
talked a little.
Representative FORD. Did George De Mohrenschildt at any time take you
any place from the Elsbeth Street residence?
Mrs. OSWALD. Only to his house.
Representative FORD. Did Lee accompany you at that time?
Mrs. OSWALD. Yes; once he took us both home to see his daughter. He
took us--took me to see his daughter, at a time when I was living in
Fort Worth, and Lee was living in Dallas. I might be confused about
just who went, and when.
Representative FORD. But he only took you once from one place to his
house?
Mrs. OSWALD. No; we went several times to his house. Maybe two or three
times.
Representative FORD. Did Lee accompany you on any of these occasions?
Mrs. OSWALD. Mr. De Mohrenschildt took us once to the Ford's house. It
was on New Year's, I think, Katya Ford's house. It was either Christmas
or New Year's. I don't think that Mr. De Mohrenschildt is as dangerous
as he sounds. This is my personal opinion.
Representative FORD. I wasn't implying that he was dangerous. I was
just trying to----
Mrs. OSWALD. He talks all the time. Did he appear before the Commission
or not?
Mr. RANKIN. We have his testimony.
Representative FORD. I have nothing further.
The CHAIRMAN. I think that is all, Mrs. Oswald. Thank you very much.
Mr. McKENZIE. I have some questions, if I may.
The CHAIRMAN. Yes; Mr. McKenzie.
Mr. McKENZIE. You mentioned earlier, in response to some question, that
your husband had stated that the Soviet Government wanted him to become
a Soviet citizen, but that his diary says the opposite.
When did you first learn that the Soviet Government wanted Lee Harvey
Oswald to become a Soviet citizen?
Mrs. OSWALD. I heard this 3 months after we were married, from Lee.
