Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Had you sent him such a telegram?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I had.
Mr. Jenner. What impelled you or induced you to do that? What event, stimulation?
Mr. Oswald. After we were notified that Lee was in Russia.
Mr. Jenner. Who notified you?
Mr. Oswald. Star Telegram reporter in Fort Worth, Tex. Later on that same day there was quite a few newspaper reporters out to my house. I first objected to speaking to them until they stated that perhaps if we cooperated with them they would perhaps be the only source of information—that they could relay to us when they received anything about what Lee was doing, and so forth, and I agreed to talk to them.
After this interview with three or four newspaper reporters they had left the house, and another man, I do not recall his name, from the Star Telegram in Fort Worth, came to the house, and I spoke with him, and I believe at this time he suggested that it would not be wise because I was asking what did he think as to how I might contact Lee, and he suggested a letter—pardon me, a telegram, to Secretary of State Christian Herter, and a telegram to Lee.
I called the Western Union and sent telegrams, and at this time——
Mr. Jenner. Excuse me, sir, telegrams, you sent one to Mr. Herter and one to your brother?
