Mr. Liebeler. Did you notice anything about the way he was dressed or anything else about him that would seem strange to you?
Mr. Gregory. Yes; it was a very hot morning. You know in Texas in the middle of June, it is generally hot. I remember that he wore a flannel, woolen coat, suit, and atrocious looking shoes that were made in Russia.
I know he was very uncomfortable because he was too warmly dressed for that time of the year.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Mr. Oswald tell you anything else at that time about conditions in the Soviet Union or his attempt to come back to the United States or bringing his wife back that you can recall?
Mr. Gregory. I don't recall of anything outstanding that he told me. But I think he did tell me that they, he and his wife, left Moscow by train, and they went through East Germany to Berlin, I believe, and that their destination was Amsterdam, I believe, where they took a ship to come to New York.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he express anything about any difficulties that he might have had in returning to the United States?
Mr. Gregory. No, sir; not to my recollection.
Mr. Liebeler. Did it seem extraordinary to you that his wife was able to leave the Soviet Union with him or didn't you think about that?
Mr. Gregory. I thought at the time it was more than extraordinary.
Mr. Liebeler. Why do you say that?
