Mr. Oswald. No, sir; he did not. I would say we had a tacit agreement it was never brought up.
Representative Boggs. By tacit, do you mean that——
Mr. Oswald. An unspoken agreement that we never would discuss it.
Representative Boggs. I understand. Had you arrived at this agreement because on previous occasions you had disagreed about political matters?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; that was not the reason. We just never discussed politics.
Representative Boggs. Did you have any interest in political affairs, I mean——
Mr. Oswald. A little bit, sir.
Representative Boggs. I mean from a philosophical point of view?
Mr. Oswald. My own interest in politics from a philosophical point of view would be that I considered myself a conservative, a born conservative. Certainly agreed 100 percent with the U.S. Constitution and the laws that are set forth, and it is my upbringing, it is what I always believed in and I will always believe in it.
Representative Ford. Did you say that was your mother's philosophy, too?
