Mr. Oswald. There was some friction with one agent and my mother, whom she seemed to resent very harshly, any time this agent spoke to her.
Mr. Jenner. You used the word "harshly." Does that include "unjustly" in your opinion?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; it would not.
Mr. Jenner. Did you share the opinion that the Secret Service agent you have in mind was treating her harshly?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I would not be of that opinion. And the Secret Service agent in question here is Mr. Charlie Kunkel.
Mr. Jenner. During this period, did you have a good impression of him?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir, I did.
Mr. Jenner. Having in mind all of the circumstances, and the stresses, and his duties, do you have an opinion as to whether he accorded her normal and expected courtesy and proper treatment?
Mr. Oswald. Only on one occasion I might have a hesitation to give a positive answer to that, sir. This occurred at the Inn of the Six Flags, in Arlington, Texas. As Mr. Kunkel was going out the front door one day—I do not recall the day—I would say this would be approximately Wednesday, November 27, 1963—there was a brief exchange at the doorway between Mr. Kunkel and my mother, of which I am attempting to recall, at which time my mother stated to him to the best of my remembrance, that "Please, sir, don't say anything to me at all."
And Mr. Kunkel's reply was—and he was irritated—that he would not unless he had to, and for her not to please say anything to him.
