Mr. Rankin. Now, Mr. Thorne is your attorney. I understand that he told the Civil Liberties Union people of Dallas it was all right for the Secret Service people to be there with you and that you liked that arrangement and did not want to be interfered with. Was that satisfactory to you?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, that is correct.
Mr. Rankin. Was he speaking for you when he said that?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, because I received a letter from Mr. Olds, a leader of that union. In that letter he said that he sympathizes with my situation, that he supposed that the Secret Service treated me very badly and stopped me from doing something.
I answered him in a letter written in Russian which was later translated into English that all of this was not the truth.
Mr. Rankin. Did you feel any restraint or that you were being forced to do anything there while you were at the Martins that was not satisfactory to you?
Mrs. Oswald. No, I was not forced to do anything that I did not want to.
Mr. Rankin. Anybody that tried to see you that you wanted to see during that time or from that time up to the present—I withdraw that.
Was anyone who you wished to see or wanted to see you that you were willing to see kept from seeing you at that time or up to the present?
Mrs. Oswald. Generally some people wanted to talk to me but they couldn't do so simply because I did not want to.
