*Mrs. Oswald. He said, "You are not the only one who is seeking exit permit, and so you have to wait your turn."
Senator Cooper. Did he attempt to discourage you from seeking the exit visa?
Senator Cooper. Did Lee Oswald ever express any opinion to you as to why he thought an exit visa might be granted to you and your daughter?
*Mrs. Oswald. He encouraged me and he thought that I would consider that he exerted every effort on his part for me to get this exit. Maybe he just was saying that that way, but never hoped that actually I would get the exit permit.
Senator Cooper. During that time or at any other time, did Lee ever say to you that he might do some work for the Soviet Union if you did return to the United States?*
*Mrs. Oswald. He did not.
Senator Cooper. I would like to turn to your testimony about your knowledge of the rifle that Lee possessed. Now, as I remember your testimony, you stated that you first learned that he had the rifle early in 1963.*
*Mrs. Oswald. In the year that he bought it, I learned it.
Senator Cooper. You had seen him clean it, you had watched him sight the rifle in New Orleans and work the bolt?* **
