Mrs. Hall. No; I don't.

Mr. Liebeler. Did it seem strange to you that the Oswalds could leave Russia and come back to the United States together like they did?

Mrs. Hall. Yes; it was kind of strange.

Mr. Liebeler. Did you ever discuss that with the Oswalds?

Mrs. Hall. No.

Mr. Liebeler. Did you ever discuss it with anybody else?

Mrs. Hall. Well, once when they came to Fort Worth, it was all over the papers, you know, and like we Russians, we just want to know. I mean, we read the paper, and Oswald tried to call a few people, and I called Mrs. Clark, and she didn't know what to do, and we don't know.

Is it good or bad, really, for us to get in touch with them? So finally John or George Bouhe got in touch with them, and I told Mrs. Clark and all the Russians told probably, it is okay.

Mr. Liebeler. Well, did you ever have any discussion with these Russian people as to the apparent ease with which Oswald was able to leave the Soviet Union and come back?

Mrs. Hall. It wasn't very easy. I read in the paper that it took him over a year. Well, he was a year, 1 year in Russia, he started asking to come back and it took him almost 2 years, I guess.
