The Chairman. I think we will take a short recess now, about 10 minutes.
Mrs. Oswald. I would like to help you, but I simply don't know, I cannot.
(Brief recess)
The Chairman. The Commission will be in order.
Mr. Rankin, you may proceed.
Mr. Rankin. Mrs. Oswald, I will hand you again Exhibit 14 and the translation from the Russian and call your attention to the urgency of your request there. I ask you, was that your idea to press for help from the Embassy in regard to the visa, or your husband's?
Mrs. Oswald. Of course my husband.
Mr. Rankin. At the time of Exhibit 14, then, you were not anxious to return to Russia?
Mrs. Oswald. I never wanted to return but Lee insisted and there is nothing else I could do. But sometimes when I wrote these letters, I felt very lonely—since my husband didn't want me, I felt perhaps this would be the best way.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know the Spanish language?
