*Mrs. Oswald. He was grinding details—detailed parts for small parts, small metallic parts for radio receivers, on a lathe.
Perhaps he was boasting about the importance of his work when he told you about reading the blueprints and translating them into the finished product. He may have actually done that kind of work, but I know nothing about that.
Mr. Rankin. Was the only work that he told you he was doing during the period that you were there in Minsk, this job of grinding these parts on the lathe?*
*Mrs. Oswald. While he and I lived together—yes. That was the kind of work that he was doing in Minsk.
Mr. Rankin. And that's all that you know of?*
*Mrs. Oswald. That's all I know about his work.
Mr. Rankin. Now, turning to the period that your husband was in Moscow in 1959 when he first came there, and, of course, you were married later than that, did he tell you about his experiences when he first came to Moscow?*
*Mrs. Oswald. He told me that for the most part he visited museums and studied the Russian language.
Mr. Rankin. Did he say anything about the intourist guides, the women studied the Russian language.
Mrs. Oswald. The Russian guides?
