Mr. Rankin. What do you mean by that, Mrs. Oswald?
Mrs. Oswald. I had forgotten entirely about the incident with Vice President Nixon when I was here the first time. When you asked me the questions about it, then I remembered it. I wasn't trying to deceive you the first time.
Mr. Rankin. What did your husband say that day about Richard Nixon, when he got this gun and dressed up. Did he tell you anything about him?
Mrs. Oswald. No; I just didn't know what to do, you know.
Mr. Rankin. How did you know he was interested in doing something about Mr. Nixon at that time?
Mrs. Oswald. My husband just said that Nixon is coming to Dallas.
Mr. Rankin. Then what did you do?
Mrs. Oswald. First I didn't know what to do. I wanted to prevent him from going out.
Mr. Rankin. Did you say anything to him?
Mrs. Oswald. I called him into the bathroom and I closed the door and I wanted to prevent him and then I started to cry. And I told him that he shouldn't do this, that he had promised me.
