Mr. Jenner. Or may I add, Mr. Chairman, any correspondence he had in the Marines, and any leaves.
Mr. Dulles. We have no letters, have we, from the witness?
Mr. Jenner. No, but I thought there might possibly be some.
Mr. Dulles. I don't want to interrupt, but it seemed to me to fit in at this particular point.
Mr. Oswald. I do not recall, other than general discussion, about the Marine Corps. I recall—and I believe this was on his leave in 1958, when we discussed this—I had asked him did he know any of my drill instructors, and I at the time recalled a senior drilling instructor at Camp Pendleton, by the name of Sgt. Cobie. And he stated he did not. However, he did run across, while he was in boot camp, some other drill instructor, but he could not recall his name, who stated he recalled me, or asked him one day did he have a brother that had been in the Marine Corps a few years before. He said yes, he had. And apparently this man did remember me, because he asked was I the right guide in that platoon. And my brother Lee did not know that I was. I do recall that conversation.
Mr. Jenner. Did you have any other conversation with him or any correspondence from him in which the subject matter of his career in the Marines was discussed, or to which allusion was made?
Mr. Oswald. I certainly received other letters during the course of his enlistment in the United States Marine Corps. I do not recall any specific instance that reflected what his opinion was of the Marine Corps, nor that at any time I remember did he refer to any happenings or incidents while he was in the Marine Corps that perhaps might upset him, or might have made him happy.
Mr. Jenner. Nothing either way?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Completely bland in that respect?
