Mr. Liebeler. You have a recollection that he said that to you in so many words?
Mr. Hall. Yes; I am sure of this, because my wife, when Gali Clark told her, and we found out he was in New Orleans, I was sure he was on his way to Russia.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you think he told you that at the time you met him at Easter of 1963?
Mr. Hall. Yes; because this is really what impressed me on religion, but things got stormy in this Easter meeting. I pushed him a little bit harder at that time than I had before.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he talk to you about his experiences in Russia during the time that he had previously been there?
Mr. Hall. Yes; he explained to us about living in Minsk, about working in the sheet metal factory, about how food was rather short, and about the terrible expense of shoes and clothes.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he tell you how much money he was paid at the factory?
Mr. Hall. Max Clark asked him this at this soup luncheon, and I really don't remember. I have read this in the newspapers, but I don't remember what it was.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he indicate to you in any way that he was receiving income while he was in Russia from any source other than his job?
Mr. Hall. No.
