The Chairman. The Commission will be in order. We will proceed again. Mr. Rankin?
Mr. Rankin. Mrs. Oswald, if I may return a moment with you to the time that you told us about your husband practicing with the rifle at Love Field. As I recall your testimony, you said that he told you that he had taken the rifle and practiced with it there, is that right?
Mrs. Oswald. I knew that he practiced with it there. He told me, later.
Mr. Rankin. And by practicing with it, did you mean that he fired the rifle there, as you understood it?
Mrs. Oswald. I don't know what he did with it there. He probably fired it. But I didn't see him.
Mr. Rankin. And then you said that you had seen him cleaning it after he came back, is that right?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. Now, do you recall your husband having any ammunition around the house at any time?
