Mr. Jenner. And that she was desirous of attempting to do so?
Mrs. Paine. She was desirous of attempting to do so though still leaving open the possibility that in time she would have to conclude that she couldn't.
She by no means simply gave in to him on every point or let him walk on her, but that, I would say, is a healthy thing for the marriage rather than anything contributive to any fundamental difficulty in it.
Mr. Jenner. Have you completed your answer?
Senator Cooper. May I ask a question?
Mr. Jenner. Yes.
Senator Cooper. Did Marina ever indicate to you in any way whether or not she felt, after she came to the United States and saw Lee Oswald in his country in which he had been born and reared, that she found him unintelligent or a person of mean ability, small ability or poor background?
Did she ever have any comment in any way on his being inferior?
Mrs. Paine. I don't recall her ever commenting in that way.
Mr. Jenner. Was she disappointed in any way after he returned to the United States?
