Mr. Dulles. A couple, Mr. Chief Justice.
You have described this morning briefly the manner of your life in Minsk. I wonder if you would also now discuss that in the United States. What did you do with your leisure time, how did Oswald handle his leisure time when he wasn't working?
I am speaking of your stays in Dallas, Fort Worth, and New Orleans.
Mrs. Oswald. My life in the United States was not quite as carefree as it had been in the Soviet Union. I was occupied all the time with housework, and I couldn't go anywhere. Lee spent a good deal of time reading.
Mr. Dulles. Were you together most of the time?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Mr. Dulles. So that you knew where Lee was. Lee wasn't away on trips much of the time, except for his trip to Mexico, and when he was absent in New Orleans?
Mrs. Oswald. That is correct. We were together.
Mr. Dulles. Do you know what he was reading in those days?
Mrs. Oswald. He read nonfiction almost entirely and mainly historical works.
