Mr. Jenner. And that understanding is based on what?
Mr. Oswald. Just a general feeling that I had at that time.
Mr. Jenner. Was it induced also by discovering from your brother that your mother had written a letter to the Red Cross?
Mr. Oswald. I am sure it was, sir. And I might add I pointed out to Lee why did you accept this early discharge, since he only had a few months more, I believe it was, to go. Because it had been my experience in the service that when I ran across somebody who, for one reason or another, was going to get out a little bit early, I understood that they perhaps were subject to recall for that period at a later date, or something along that line. And I thought it was unwise.
Mr. Jenner. Is this what you said to him?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir. I pointed out—I felt like since it was to be under the regular enlistment period very shortly thereafter, I believe September 11, 1959, that it would have been the wise thing to stay in.
Mr. Jenner. What did he say to that?
Mr. Oswald. I do not recall, sir.
Mr. Jenner. You were living in Fort Worth, married, and still you were having substantially little contact with your mother, is that correct?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct.
