Senator Cooper. Mr. Rankin, would you ask the witness to state again what Lee Oswald's promise was to her that he had made at the time of the Walker incident?
Mr. Rankin. Will you relate the promise that your husband made to you right after the discovery of the Walker incident by you?
Mrs. Oswald. This wasn't a written promise.
Mr. Rankin. No.
Mrs. Oswald. But in words it was more or less that I told him that he was very lucky that he hadn't killed—it very good that he hadn't killed General Walker. I said it was fate that—it was fated that General Walker not be killed and therefore he shouldn't try such a thing again.
Mr. Rankin. What did he say in answer to that?
Mrs. Oswald. He said perhaps I am right. I myself didn't believe what I was saying because I didn't believe that he was fated. I was just trying to find some way of dissuading my husband to do such a thing again. Do you understand what I mean?
Mr. Rankin. Yes. Did he say that he would or would not do that again, that is what I want to know.
Mrs. Oswald. At the time I did definitely convince him that I was right, and at the time he said that he would not do such a thing again.
Mr. Rankin. Now, when you talked to him about the Nixon incident and persuaded him not to go out and do anything to Mr. Nixon, did you say anything about your pregnancy in trying to persuade him?
