Mrs. Oswald. I do not know whether my son loved her or not. But I am telling you why he would do this—in 5-weeks time. Now, you have a 5-week period in here.
Mr. Rankin. I understand that. But I think it is a very serious thing to say about your son, that he would do a thing like that to a girl.
Mrs. Oswald. No, sir, it is not a serious thing. I know a little about the CIA, and so on, the U-2, Powers, and things that have been made public. They go through any extreme for their country. I do not think that would be serious for him to marry a Russian girl and bring her here, so he would have contact. I think that is all part of an agent's duty.
Mr. Rankin. You think your son was capable of doing that?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, sir, I think my son was an agent. I certainly do.
Mr. Rankin. Have you got anything more that caused you to think he was an agent?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, I have things that have been coming out in the paper. And I am not the only one that thinks my son is an agent. There has been many, many publications questioning whether Lee was an agent or not because of circumstances, and so on, and so forth, through the newspapers.
Mr. Rankin. That is newspaper accounts you are talking about now?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes. And as I said about the FBI.
Mr. Rankin. What about your own knowledge?
