Mrs. Oswald. She saw it, while I was destroying them.
Mr. Rankin. After the assassination, did the police and FBI and the Secret Service ask you many questions?
Mrs. Oswald. In the police station there was a routine regular questioning, as always happens. And then after I was with the agents of the Secret Service and the FBI, they asked me many questions, of course—many questions. Sometimes the FBI agents asked me questions which had no bearing or relationship, and if I didn't want to answer they told me that if I wanted to live in this country, I would have to help in this matter, even though they were often irrelevant. That is the FBI.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know who said that to you?
Mrs. Oswald. Mr. Heitman and Bogoslav, who was an interpreter for the FBI.
Mr. Rankin. You understand that you do not have to tell this Commission in order to stay in this country, don't you, now?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. You are not under any compulsion to tell the Commission here in order to be able to stay in the country.
Mrs. Oswald. I understand that.
Mr. Rankin. And you have come here because you want to tell us what you could about this matter, is that right?
