Mrs. Oswald. Well, maybe, sir, I am not doing a very good job of what I am saying.
Mr. Rankin. What do you think you have said that caused you to think——
Mrs. Oswald. I have said that a Marine recruiting officer came to my home, and that Lee then continued reading Robert's manual by heart, and started reading communist literature. He is preparing himself to go into the Marine service—at age 17—this year before he actually joined the service. I am saying he is already preparing himself.
Mr. Rankin. To become an agent?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, I think with the influence of this recruiting officer.
Mr. Rankin. You think the recruiting officer inspired him——
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, sir, influenced this boy.
Mr. Rankin. ——to read the communist literature?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, sir—and Robert's Marine book.
Mr. Rankin. Is there anything else you base that on, except what you have told us?
