Mr. Rankin. Did that happen more than once?
Mrs. Oswald. Only one such trip. And even that time he didn't want to take the gun with him. He took it only because one of my friends was laughing at him and said, "You have a gun hanging here and you never use it. Why don't you bring it along and see if you can use it."
Mr. Rankin. Did you and your husband have any friends other than Russians while you were at Minsk?
Mrs. Oswald. There were friends. We had some friends from Argentina but they didn't come on this excursion with us.
Mr. Rankin. Did you have any friends there who were from Cuba?
Mrs. Oswald. There were Cuban students studying in Minsk, and this Argentinian girl had a Cuban boyfriend and possibly Lee met this boyfriend, this Cuban student, but I never met him.
Mr. Dulles. Do you know where the Cuban students were studying, what particular school?
Mrs. Oswald. They study in various educational institutions in Minsk, some are in the medical institute, others are in the agricultural and others are in the polytechnical institute.
Mr. Dulles. Could you tell us a little more about these Argentinians, were they there for educational reasons or what was the reason they were there?
Mrs. Oswald. Excuse me; I am mixed up with Cubans. You talk about Argentinians?
