Mr. Oswald. No, sir; this is an assumption on my part—the way he put it to me.

Mr. Jenner. And they proceeded from there directly to New York Harbor, New York City.

Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; that is correct.

Mr. Jenner. By what means? And he did report that to you?

Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner. Did this series of letters you received in the early portion, period of his stay in Russia excite your suspicions as to whether he was or might be a Russian agent?

Mr. Oswald. If I understand the question correctly this was the early stay of his in Russia in 1959?

Mr. Jenner. Yes, sir, 1959 and let us say to the early part of 1961.

Mr. Oswald. No, sir.

Mr. Jenner. Did you have any occasion to discuss that subject during this period of time with your mother or she with you?
