Mr. Liebeler. You don't know whether the Russian newspaper that he got came from the Cuban consulate?
Mr. Delgado. No. He was getting that way before he even started corresponding with them.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you know whether Oswald ever received any books or pamphlets or materials in any language other than Russian—aside from English, of course?
Mr. Delgado. No. He had one book that was English, Das Kapital. I think it was Russian, a book, like I said. I go by Russian when it's big block letters. And he had one book like that. He spoke Russian pretty good, so I understand.
Mr. Liebeler. How do you understand that?
Mr. Delgado. He tried to teach me some Russian. He would put out a whole phrase, you know. In return for my teaching him Spanish, he would try to teach me Russian. But it's a tongue twister.
Mr. Liebeler. You didn't have any understanding of the Russian language?
Mr. Delgado. No. Basically I wasn't interested in it. In order to learn a language, I think you have to be motivated. You have to have a desire to use this language, you know, and I had no need to learn Russian. And just the reverse of him. He wanted to learn Spanish. He had some idea of using Spanish later on. I'm sure if this hadn't happened, he probably would be over there now, if he hadn't been already.
Mr. Liebeler. In Cuba, you mean?
Mr. Delgado. Yes.
