Mr. Oswald. My position with any news media, whether it be the newspapers, magazines, television, et cetera, has been that—no comment, and the only comment I ever made to any of them, at a very early date, was that I would abide by the decision of the Commission which is now known as the Warren Committee.
Mr. McKenzie. Have you ever sought to elaborate or give any statement to the press at any time?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I have not.
Mr. McKenzie. Do you recall any statements made by Marina N. Oswald expressing sympathy for President's family?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I do.
Mr. McKenzie. And if you will, state the source of your recollection and where the statement was made, and if she has ever made any statement to that effect to yourself.
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; she did make a statement directly to myself. To the best of my recollection, this was first done on Monday, November 25, 1963, at the Inn of the Six Flags, at Arlington, Tex., as Marina and myself observed the beginning of the funeral for the President of the United States.
Mr. McKenzie. And was there anyone else present at that time?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; there were other people in the room. Whether or not they overheard our conversation, I do not know, sir.
Mr. Dulles. You observed that on television, I gather?
