Representative Boggs. Have you in your own mind reached any conclusions on whether or not your brother killed President Kennedy?
Mr. Oswald. Based on the circumstantial evidence that has been reported in newspapers and over the radio and television, I would have to say that it appears that he did kill President Kennedy.
Representative Boggs. Would you, having reached that conclusion under the circumstances that you outlined a moment ago, and having known him all of his life, although not too intimately the last year of his life, would you give us any reason for why he may have done this?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I could not.
Representative Boggs. It came as, I would think, a great shock to you?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; it certainly did, and I might add that the Lee Harvey Oswald that I knew would not have killed anybody.
Representative Boggs. Have you discussed this matter with your stepbrother since it happened?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Representative Boggs. This, as I understand, Mr. Counsel, is hearsay but we are just trying to establish——
Mr. McKenzie. Mr. Boggs, in order that the record be absolutely clear, you were not here when we commenced this morning due to your duties at the House, let me state this for the purpose of the record and yourself and the entire Commission, you ask Robert Oswald any question that you want to ask him.
