Mr. Rankin. Did you have a telephone?
Mrs. Oswald. No—I don't like television.
Mr. Rankin. Why?
Mrs. Oswald. The programs are not always interesting, and you can get into a stupor just watching television. It is better to go to the movies.
Mr. Rankin. What was his occupation at this time?
Mrs. Oswald. He worked in a radio plant in Minsk.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know what his work was?
Mrs. Oswald. As an ordinary laborer—metal worker. From that point of view, he was nothing special. I had a greater choice in the sense that many of my friends were engineers and doctors. But that is not the main thing.
Mr. Rankin. Did others with a similar job have similar apartments?
Mrs. Oswald. The house in which we lived belonged to the factory in which Lee worked. But, of course, no one had a separate apartment for only two persons. I think that Lee had been given better living conditions, better than others, because he was an American. If Lee had been Russian, and we would have had two children, we could not have obtained a larger apartment. But since he was an American, we would have obtained the larger one. It seems to me that in Russia they treat foreigners better than they should. It would be better if they treated Russians better. Not all foreigners are better than the Russians.
