But I don't know whether Lee had talked to him or not.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know whether any FBI agent had ever warned your husband that if he engaged in any Fair Play for Cuba activities in Texas, the FBI would be again interested in him?
Mrs. Oswald. No, I didn't know that.
Mr. Rankin. Then in the exhibit he goes on to say, "This agent also 'suggested' to Marina Nichilyeva that she could remain in the United States under FBI protection."
Did you ever hear of anything like that before?
Mrs. Oswald. I had not been proposed anything of the sort at any time.
The only thing the agent did say is that if I had ever any kind of difficulties or troubles in the sense that someone would try to force me to do something, to become an agent, then I should get in touch with him, and that if I don't want to do this, that they would help me. But they never said that I live here and that I must remain here under their protection.
Mr. Rankin. Then in this Exhibit 15 he goes on to explain what he means by the word "protection", saying "That is, she could defect from the Soviet Union, of course." Do you remember anybody saying anything like that to you?
Mrs. Oswald. No, no one said anything like that.
Mr. Rankin. Did anyone at any time, while you were in the United States, suggest that you become an agent of any agency of the United States?
