Mr. RANKIN. Mr. Gregory, have you been sworn in connection with these
proceedings?
Mr. GREGORY. No.
Senator RUSSELL. Will you do it, Mr. Rankin?
Mr. RANKIN. Will you rise and raise your right hand.
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony that you are going to
translate of Mrs. Oswald will be truly translated?
Mr. GREGORY. To the best of my knowledge and ability, so help me God.
Mr. RANKIN. Mr. Gopadze, have you been sworn as a translator in these
proceedings?
Mr. GOPADZE. No, sir.
Mr. RANKIN. Will you rise, please?
Do you solemnly swear that your translation of anything of the
testimony of Mrs. Oswald will be true and correct, to the best of your
knowledge?
Mr. GOPADZE. I do.
Mr. RANKIN. Thank you. Mrs. Oswald, we're going to ask you rather
informally a number of questions about matters that have come up that
we would like to get your testimony about. Senator Russell will start,
then Senator Cooper will have some, and then I'll have a few I would
like to ask you about, and Representative Boggs will have some.
Representative BOGGS. I suggest we designate Senator Russell as
chairman of this meeting.
Mr. RANKIN. Will you record Senator Russell, Miss Reporter, as the
chairman of the meeting, please?
The REPORTER. Yes, sir.
Dean STOREY. This is Miss Oliver. She is the reporter to Judge Hughes,
a Federal judge here.
Mr. RANKIN. Yes; we know her well by her reporting in other matters for
us.
Senator RUSSELL. Mrs. Oswald, there may be some repetition in what we
say, in the testimony that was taken in Washington, because, I among
others, could not attend that hearing, so you will understand if we ask
questions that are similar to those that were asked of you when you
were in Washington on other occasions.*
We will try to avoid any more of that than we can help.
I have read all of your testimony. I don't mean that I recall all of
it, but I read it, as well as your memoirs that were submitted to the
Commission.
When you first met Lee Oswald, did he ever mention anything about
politics or his political philosophy?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. No.
