Mrs. Bates. Well, they didn't interview me the second time really. They just—uh—I had received a letter, I think it was, that I turned over to them.
Mr. Jenner. I see. Could it have been Saturday, the 30th of November?
Mrs. Bates. It was the following Saturday after the story broke. Saturday the 30th of November. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Do you recall saying to the FBI men who interviewed you that the story was accurate——
Mrs. Bates. Yes, sir; gave him a copy of it.
Mr. Jenner. In every detail, with one exception—which was that Lee Oswald never stated that he was working for the U.S. State Department.
Mrs. Bates. Well, that is not in the story.
Mr. Jenner. Tell me about that.
Mrs. Bates. That was what—the radio and television was trying to put words in my mouth at that time. And—uh—I don't know how many times I had to call and tell them to retract that. I never stated that. I stated that when he first said that he went to Russia and had gotten a visa that I thought—it was just a thought—that maybe he was going over under the auspices of the State Department—as a student or something.
Mr. Jenner. Uh-huh.
