Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember at any time having any discussion with any of your Russian friends on the question of whether or not Oswald was a Russian agent?
Mr. Ford. Prior to the assassination?
Mr. Liebeler. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ford. No; I don't remember prior to the assassination. There may have been some but I don't remember any.
Mr. Liebeler. At the party at your home on the 28th of December, did you have any conversation with Oswald?
Mr. Ford. Said "hello, how are you," to he and Marina, and after that, I can't remember Oswald talking to anybody there except one guest, a Japanese girl, Yaeko, I forget her last name; my wife will remember.
As nearly as I can remember she was the only person in the whole party that he ever bothered to talk to.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember whether Oswald was drinking that evening?
Mr. Ford. I fixed one drink for him, in a little liqueur glass full of liqueur. As far as I remember he never touched it.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you ever observe Oswald smoking?
