*Mrs. Oswald. He told me that the Soviet Union is the outstanding Communist country and he wanted to see it with his own eyes.
Senator Russell. Well, I notice in your testimony that you said that his memoirs insofar as he claimed that he wished to be a citizen of the Soviet Union were erroneous?*
In other words, I want to continue the statement so there won't be any confusion—I'm not trying to trap her. But that he told you that he had been offered citizenship in the Soviet Union and had declined?* **
**Mrs. Oswald. Yes.
*Yes, that's what he said to me.
Senator Russell. Did he give any reasons why he declined citizenship in the Soviet Union?*
*Mrs. Oswald. The reason he gave me for declining to become a Soviet citizen was because he said that in case he did not like the way they do things in the Soviet Union, it would be easier for him to leave the country than if he did become a citizen.
Senator Russell. After you were married to Lee, did he complain about the way they did things in the Soviet Union?* **
Mrs. Oswald. What?
Mr. Gregory. Senator, excuse me, sir. I'm a little mixed up on your question. Would you mind to repeat that question, sir?
