You see, when I would make fun of him, of his activity to some extent, in the sense that it didn't help anyone really, he said that I didn't understand him, and here, you see, was proof that someone else did, that there were people who understood his activity.
I would say that to Lee—that Lee could not really do much for Cuba, that Cuba would get along well without him, if they had to.
Mr. Rankin. You would tell that to him?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. And what would he say in return?
Mrs. Oswald. He shrugged his shoulders and kept his own opinion. He was even interested in the airplane schedules, with the idea of kidnapping a plane. But I talked him out of it.
Mr. Rankin. The airplane schedules from New Orleans?
Mrs. Oswald. New Orleans—but—from New Orleans—leaving New Orleans in an opposite direction. And he was going to make it turn around and go to Cuba.
Mr. Rankin. He discussed this with you?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
