Mr. Bouhe. He did say once, and I hate to talk about a dead man, what I thought shedding a crocodile tear, "It would be good for my daughter to be brought up in the United States."
Mr. Liebeler. Is that the only reason that he ever told you about why he wanted to come back to the United States?
Mr. Bouhe. Substantially. I cannot think of anything else besides the fact that most of us who spoke with him have an impression, and the Russian people are very subject to easy impressions, is that Marina was hell-bent to go out of the Soviet Union and into America.
And I think one of the ladies said "Why," and I remember through third hand a report reached me, "I always wanted to have a room of my own."
Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember who told you that?
Mr. Bouhe. Mrs. Anna Meller.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you get the impression that Marina married Oswald just to get out of the Soviet Union?
Mr. Bouhe. I cannot say that that was the only reason.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you think it was one of the reasons?
Mr. Bouhe. Oh, yes.
