If they have 28 pages of that, they have me doing that kind of talking, and had the room bugged, or whatever you want to say. But no, sir, I did not sit and testify. I swear before God 10 times I never have. And that is the point that has bothered me.
Even before Lee's defection no one came along to the house. I called Mr. John Fain in the FBI myself to make friends with him. If they have 20 pages of testimony—that is when they got it, my talking. They got it with a tape recorder going. But I did not, no, sir.
Mr. Rankin. Well, then, what happened after that?
Mrs. Oswald. Now—we got off of that. About Robert crying?
Mr. Rankin. You said that that ended the interview with Mr. Howard.
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, that ended the interview with Mr. Howard, because Robert was crying. I was not consulted. I want you to know this, too. I was not consulted about the graveyard services or any part of my son's funeral.
What I know—when my son was going to be buried—it was approximately 1 hour before the time for my son to be buried. My son Robert knew.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know whether Marina was consulted?
Mrs. Oswald. I do not know. And I am assuming that she was. You see, Mr. Gregory taught Russian to Marina. And I believe Marina might have been consulted. But I do not know whether she was consulted or not. But I was not consulted. And since then—we will go on to the story. They have put a marker on the grave. I have not been consulted. I have found out my son is encased in cement, and I did not know anything about it until I investigated and asked the man at the cemetery.
They did not consult me about anything, never have. I want that made clear—because that is the part I cannot understand.
