Anyway, from Vincent Peale on down to anything you want to mention. Lee read continuously.
Mr. Rankin. Now, was there any time that Marina said anything to you to lead you to believe that she thought your son, Lee, married her because he was an agent?
Mrs. Oswald. No, sir, no, sir. Not at any time at all.
Mr. Rankin. You think she loved him?
Mrs. Oswald. I believe that Marina loved him in a way. But I believe that Marina wanted to come to America. I believe that Lee had talked America to her, and she wanted to come to America. I say this for a lot of little things that happened—that Marina wanted to come to America. Maybe she loved him. I am sure she did, anyway. She said that she did.
Mr. Rankin. I am not clear about this being ordered to marry her. You don't mean that your son didn't love her.
Mrs. Oswald. Well, I could mean that—if he is an agent, and he has a girl friend, and it is to the benefit of the country that he marry this girl friend, and the Embassy helped him get this Russian girl out of Russia—let's face it, well, whether he loved her or not, he would take her to America, if that would give him contact with Russians, yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin. Is that what you mean?
Mrs. Oswald. I would say that.
Mr. Rankin. And you don't think it was because your son loved her, then?
