Mr. Oswald. I believe, sir, my reaction to that would be somewhat stunned.
Mr. Jenner. Stunned in the sense of disbelieving? You just could not absorb it?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; not to that extent. If I may say this. My own personal mental attitude, through my entire life, seems to react to trouble to the extent that I do not perhaps go to pieces, so to speak, that I react apparently calmly in the face of adversity.
Mr. Jenner. I take it with that disposition that you have that anything in life is possible—no matter how extraordinary it may seem at the moment—you retain a grip on yourself?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; or at least attempt to.
Mr. Jenner. You were disbelieving, but it might have been—at least your thought was that it was possible, though, you were disbelieving at the moment?
Mr. Oswald. That is right.
Mr. Jenner. Then you state in your memorandum on page 2 that you immediately called your wife Vada.
Mr. Oswald. That is right.
Mr. Jenner. And you went directly to the phone and called her?
