Senator Russell. Mrs. Oswald, your attorney—your then attorney, according to the record, asked the Commission some questions about your memoirs, your diary or whatever it was that you have written—your reminiscences, and that they not be released. Have you ever made arrangements yet to sell them? Have you gotten rid of them? Because—the record of the Commission will be printed at a rather early date?* **
*Mrs. Oswald. I do not want these memoirs to be published by Warren Commission.
Senator Russell. Yes; I understand that.
*Mrs. Oswald. I am now working on a book and I may wish to include these memoirs in that book. I have no objection to the publication of the material in those memoirs that have any relation to the assassination of the President, or anything that is pertinent to this particular inquiry.
Senator Russell. Of course, a great deal of it is very personal. It's about your social relations when you were a young woman. Of course, you are a young woman now, but when you were even younger than you are now, and the friends that you had, and things of that nature, and this report is going to be published before too long. And that's among the evidence there, and I was trying to get some timing on your book or whatever it is you are going to publish that would utilize this material, in an effort to help you—that is the only purpose I had, to try to see that you don't lose the publicity value of the memoirs.*
*Mrs. Oswald. I understand that and I'm certainly grateful to you for it.
**Would it be possible to publish in the report only parts of my life, that pertaining to the assassination, instead of my private life?
Senator Russell. I cannot answer that, and only the entire Commission could answer that, but when I read that in the testimony, I was hoping that you had found some means of commercializing on it either to the moving picture people or to the publishing world.
Mrs. Oswald. As yet, I have not availed myself of that opportunity, sir.
Senator Russell. When do you think you will publish this book?*
