Mr. Liebeler. Do you know whether he expressed any extreme antagonism or antagonism of any sort toward the Government of the United States?
Mr. Ford. The only occasion I know of was the first time I met him, he did blame the U.S. Embassy for delaying his exit, the exit of he and his wife from Russia.
He did state if it had not been for their delaying the exit visa that his daughter would have been born in the United States rather than Russia.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he say anything more about that, do you remember any more in detail?
Mr. Ford. Not that I heard of or can remember.
Representative Ford. Did he think the birth of his daughter in Russia rather than in the United States was something important, did it appear that way?
Mr. Ford. I don't know how important he thought it was. It actually started as a joke. We also had a baby born shortly before that and I said, "Pretty little Russian girl" or something like that, and he made a statement, "She is just as much a Texan as your son," and then went on to explain that if the U.S. Embassy had acted more quickly that he and Marina could have left Russia and that June, the daughter, would have been born in the United States.
I don't know whether he placed any great importance on it or not.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Oswald ever appear to you to have any kind of a sense of humor?
Mr. Ford. None whatsoever.
