Senator Russell. Mrs. Oswald, there may be some repetition in what we say, in the testimony that was taken in Washington, because, I among others, could not attend that hearing, so you will understand if we ask questions that are similar to those that were asked of you when you were in Washington on other occasions.*
We will try to avoid any more of that than we can help.
I have read all of your testimony. I don't mean that I recall all of it, but I read it, as well as your memoirs that were submitted to the Commission.
When you first met Lee Oswald, did he ever mention anything about politics or his political philosophy?*
*Mrs. Oswald. No.
Senator Russell. Did you ever ask him his reason for coming to Russia?*
*Mrs. Oswald. Not the first evening when we got acquainted.
Senator Russell. Prior to the time that you were married to him, did you ask him his reasons for coming to Russia?*
*Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
Senator Russell. Why did he say that he had come to Russia?*
