Mr. Rankin. And was that always the case, whenever you didn't talk to someone during that period of time?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Everything depended only on me.
Mr. Rankin. And whenever you did want to talk to someone or see someone, you were always able to do that, were you?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, I did meet with Katya Ford, my former Russian friend.
Mr. Rankin. And you were always able to meet with anyone that you wanted to, is that right?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. Now, it has been claimed that Mrs. Ruth Paine tried to see you at various times and was unable to do so. Can you tell us about that?
Mrs. Oswald. She is trying very hard to come to see me, but I have no desire to meet with her. I think that she is trying to do that for herself, rather than for me.
Mr. Rankin. And whenever you have refused to see her when she tries to see you, that is because you didn't want to see her yourself, is that right?
