Mr. Hall. Yes.

Mr. Liebeler. Did you ever hear him say anything about President Kennedy?

Mr. Hall. Never.

Mr. Liebeler. What about Governor Connally?

Mr. Hall. No.

Mr. Liebeler. Did he ever tell you why he decided to come back to the United States and leave Russia?

Mr. Hall. I really don't think so. The only reason I hesitate there is because, of course I read this in the paper, but he was talking about wanting to go back to Russia, and again I say I am not sure that he told me directly that he wanted to go back to Russia, either Christmas or Easter, or both because it was so firm in my mind that he wanted to go back to Russia.

And after I read in the papers that after he had only been to Russia about a year, he was trying to come back to the United States, I wondered why.

Mr. Liebeler. But he never did tell you, and you never asked him about it?

Mr. Hall. No.
