Mr. Jenner. Proceed.
Mr. Oswald. On the second occurrence of this implication, of the same implication, I arose again, and Mr. Howard was walking across the room, and I stopped him, and I told him for the second time, or requested for the second time that he please say something to them about that.
Mr. Jenner. Did you speak loudly enough to be overheard?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir. I just asked Mr. Howard to please inform the FBI that she had, to the contrary, been very cooperative from the time she had been out there, up until their arrival. And, again, I referred to Mr. Howard the reference there of perhaps the friction, or the condition that I assumed, that they did not want the FBI aware of the tape recording at this time.
And his reply to me, he said, "Robert, do what you want to do. You certainly absolutely are free to say anything you want to say."
Mr. Jenner. And did you?
Mr. Oswald. I certainly did, sir.
Mr. Jenner. What did you say? You went over to the agent?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I went over to Mr. Brown, the agent I knew, who was sitting at the end of the coffee table—it was a large round coffee table. And I sat there, and I spoke to him without saying so much about—anything about the tape recording. I did say to him—and I was shaking my finger at him, sir, I might say that—that I resented the implications that they were passing on to Marina, because of her apparent uncooperative attitude.
Mr. Jenner. Supposed, you mean?
