Mr. Clark. I think it was in the paper. I felt pretty sure anyone that would be a defector they would probably give him a dishonorable discharge.
Mr. Liebeler. Did any of the other members or any of the members of the so-called Russian Community in the Dallas-Fort Worth area ever raise with you the question of whether they should associate with Oswald; whether he was a safe person for them to associate with him or have anything to do with him?
Mr. Clark. I think everyone was discussing that as to whether or not they should especially when he first came back and all of them asked me and I said "In my opinion he is a defector and you know what he is"; I said "You should not hold that against this girl Marina. She's having a hard time. He's beating her up, everything is strange to her, she can't speak the language, I don't think you should ostracize her because of Oswald." Most of them had absolutely no use for Oswald and they discussed all the time they hated to let this girl get beat up and kicked around by this Oswald without at least trying to look after her. I told them I didn't see anything wrong in looking after this girl. I said "As far as Oswald coming back here you can be assured or bet that when he returned to the United States the FBI has got him tagged and is watching his movements or I would be very much surprised."
Mr. Liebeler. If they didn't——
Mr. Clark. If they didn't, I said "You know that they know exactly where he is in town" and I said "I imagine they know who he is contacting because I know enough about the boys in the FBI; they would keep a record."
Mr. Liebeler. Did you ever discuss Oswald with anybody in the FBI?
Mr. Clark. Not before this happened.
Mr. Liebeler. Have you ever had any official connection with the FBI?
Mr. Clark. No; but I worked with them quite a bit when I was in security industrial with General Dynamics; that's when I became acquainted with Earl Haley.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember specifically having a conversation of this sort with De Mohrenschildt?
