Mrs. Oswald. Of course it is difficult to remember all the conversations. But I know that they had a difference of opinion with reference to political matters. My Russian friends did not approve of everything. I am trying to formulate it more exactly. They did not like the fact that he was an American who had gone to Russia. I think that is all. All that I can remember.
Mr. Rankin. What did they say about——
Mrs. Oswald. Excuse me. Simply I would be busy, and I didn't listen to the conversation.
Mr. Rankin. Can you recall anything else about the conversation or the substance of it?
Mrs. Oswald. No.
Mr. Rankin. When did you first consider the possibility of returning to the Soviet Union?
Mrs. Oswald. I never considered that, but I was forced to because Lee insisted on it.
Mr. Rankin. When you considered it, as you were forced to, by his insistence, do you know when it was with reference to your first request to the Embassy, which was February 17, 1963?
Mrs. Oswald. February 17?
Mr. Rankin. Yes.
