Senator Russell. Did he say his efforts were all a failure there, that he got any assistance that he was seeking?*
*Mrs. Oswald. He told me that he visited the Cuban Embassy and the Soviet Embassy and that they have the same bureaucracy in the Cuban Embassy that they have in the Soviet Embassy and that he obtained no results.
Senator Russell. Did you have less money in the United States than you had in Russia when you were married over there?
*Mrs. Oswald. We had more money in the United States than we did in the Soviet Union, but here we have to pay $65 a month rent from $200 earned, and we didn't have to do that in the Soviet Union. Here the house rent amounted to 30 percent of total wages earned, while in the Soviet Union we paid 10 percent of the wages earned. Then, all the medical expenses, medical assistance—expenses are paid there. However, Lee didn't spend much money on medical expenses here because he found ways to get the expenses free; the services free.
Senator Russell. You have testified, I believe, that Lee didn't use his rifle much, the one he had in the Soviet Union. Did he ever discuss shooting anyone in the Soviet Union like he did in shooting Nixon and Walker here in this country?*
*Mrs. Oswald. No; not in the Soviet Union.
Senator Russell. You haven't then heard from anyone except one letter from your aunt, since you left Russia?*
*Mrs. Oswald. No; I received letters from my girl friend.
Senator Russell. Oh, how many letters from your girl friend?
Mrs. Oswald. Just from one—a Christmas card—I don't remember how many, probably not more than four or five.
