Mrs. Oswald. I don't remember any—ever having said that. I don't know. He never told me that.
Mr. Rankin. Did he ever say anything good about President Kennedy?
Mrs. Oswald. Usually he would translate magazine articles. They were generally good. And he did not say that this contradicted his opinion. I just remembered that he talked about Kennedy's father, who made his fortune by a not very—in a not very good manner. Disposing of such funds, of course, it was easier for his sons to obtain an education and to obtain a government position, and it was easier to make a name for themselves.
Mr. Rankin. What did he say about President Kennedy's father making his fortune?
Mrs. Oswald. He said that he had speculated in wine. I don't know to what extent that is true.
Mr. Rankin. When he read these articles to you, did he comment favorably upon President Kennedy?
Mrs. Oswald. I have already said that he would translate articles which were good, but he would not comment on them.
Mr. Rankin. Can you recall——
Mrs. Oswald. Excuse me. At least when I found out that Lee had shot at the President, for me this was surprising. And I didn't believe it. I didn't believe for a long time that Lee had done that. That he had wanted to kill Kennedy—because perhaps Walker was there again, perhaps he wanted to kill him.
Mr. Rankin. Why did you not believe this?
