Representative BOGGS. Let's get an answer. I think this answer is quite
important.
*Mrs. OSWALD. On the basis of all the available facts, I have no doubt
in my mind that Lee Oswald killed President Kennedy.
*At the same time, I feel in my own mind as far as I am concerned,
I feel that Lee--that my husband perhaps intended to kill Governor
Connally instead of President Kennedy.
Representative BOGGS. Now, let me ask you one other question: Assuming
that this is correct, would you feel that there would be any less guilt
in killing Governor Connally than in killing the President?*
*Mrs. OSWALD. I am not trying to vindicate or justify or excuse Lee as
my husband. Even if he killed one of his neighbors, still it wouldn't
make much difference--it wouldn't make any difference--a killing is a
killing. I am sorry.
Representative BOGGS. There are one or two other questions I want to
ask her.
I know you've been asked a lot of questions about this thing. How old
were you when you left Russia?*
Mrs. OSWALD. Twenty years. My birthday--I was 21 when I came here. In
July--my birthday was in July.
Representative BOGGS. Were you a member of the Communist Party in
Russia?*
Mrs. OSWALD. No.
*I was a member of a Komsomol organization.
