Mr. Liebeler. Did you get the impression from just talking to the Oswalds at this time that Oswald was treated pretty much as other Russians were in Russia or did you think he had a special situation there in any way?
Mr. Gregory. My personal impression was that he was treated there as the rest of the Russians.
Mr. Liebeler. Did your son subsequently have additional contacts with the Oswalds?
Mr. Gregory. Yes. He and I made arrangements for Marina Oswald to give him lessons, conversational lessons, I believe it was twice a week, and Paul paid her for these lessons. I don't remember the exact amount, whether it came under the minimum or not, it was around a dollar and a half an hour. And he took those lessons after he made a visit to his aunt in San Francisco in July of 1962. So, I would say that he took lessons from Marina Oswald, say, from approximately August 1 to September 15 when he went back to the university of Oklahoma.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember when the last contact was that your son had with the Oswalds?
Mr. Gregory. To the best of my knowledge his last contact with them was the Thanksgiving Day of 1962.
Mr. Liebeler. Did your son tell you whether he had discussions with Oswald concerning politics and economics and things like that?
Mr. Gregory. He mentioned once, I believe, that there were political discussions.
Mr. Liebeler. What did he tell you about that?
Mr. Gregory. He told me that he thought Lee Oswald was pretty silly in his views.
