Senator Russell. Did you ever have any occasion or know any other Russian wife of a foreigner who tried to leave Russia?*
*Mrs. Oswald. Mrs. Zeger. Mrs. Zeger and her husband lived in Argentina for 25 years——
Senator Russell. Well, you testified very fully about them. But I am asking now if you know of any Russian national or citizen who was married to a foreign national who ever was able to get a visa to leave from Russia?
*Mrs. Oswald. No; I don't know—I don't know of anyone. I only heard in the American Embassy in Moscow, where I heard of a Russian woman married to an American, who had difficulty leaving the country.
Senator Russell. Well, that's what I had in mind.
*Mrs. Oswald. Therefore, to the very last moment we did not believe that they would let us out of the Soviet Union.
Senator Russell. Did they examine you very much or ask you many questions about why you wished to leave, other than the fact that your husband decided to return to the United States?*
Mrs. Oswald. No.
*No. We only filled out a proper questionnaire containing a statement that this will be a permanent residence in the United States, or leaving the Soviet Union for permanent residence in the United States.
Senator Russell. And none of the officials or police examined you at all about your reason for wishing to leave?*
