Mr. Liebeler. And you don't know of any connection between the two?
Mr. Clark. No; I don't.
Mr. Liebeler. Were you surprised when you heard that Oswald had been arrested in connection with the assassination?
Mr. Clark. I was very surprised because it never entered my mind in the first place and the last we had heard, he was in New Orleans or some place like that. He had left Dallas. We didn't even know he returned to Dallas.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you think based on your knowledge of Oswald that he was capable of committing an act such as he was charged to have committed?
Mr. Clark. Definitely; I think he would have done this to President Kennedy or anyone else if he felt that it would make him infamous.
Mr. Liebeler. You have the feeling that his motivation was simply to call attention to himself?
Mr. Clark. I do. I think it was primarily to go down in history because he seemed to think he was destined to go down in history some way or other.
Mr. Liebeler. Have you now told us everything that you recall about Oswald and the conversations that you had with him? I don't have any more questions at the moment but if you can think of anything that you think the Commission should know or anything you want to add to what you said, go right ahead.
Mr. Clark. It is extremely difficult to remember because there has been so much printed and so much said so it is hard with 1- or 2-hour conversations over 2 years ago to remember what was discussed and to separate it from what you formed an opinion on since then. So, it is extremely difficult to say. I think I covered everything. At the time when I talked with him I was very interested in learning what it was like in Russia and I asked many questions of Oswald primarily concerned with what life was like in Russia.
