Mr. Liebeler. Did he tell you what kind of living quarters he had while in the Soviet Union?
Mr. Ballen. No; I didn't ask him.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he tell you anything about meeting and marrying his wife when he was in the Soviet Union?
Mr. Ballen. No.
Mr. Liebeler. As far as his return to the United States is concerned, you previously testified that you asked Oswald how he managed to leave Russia, and he said it was just a matter of sticking with the bureaucrats. Did he specify hostility towards the bureaucrats or any resentment?
Mr. Ballen. Yes; just in the sense that these were fellows who made life uncomfortable and detracted from the personal freedom of the human being.
Mr. Liebeler. Did he have that attitude toward both the American and Russian authorities? Do you remember any specific conversation relating to possible resentment of the United States?
Mr. Ballen. No; I do not.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember that he did indicate to you that the Americans were just as much responsible for delaying his return as Russia?
Mr. Ballen. No; I wouldn't have gotten that feeling; no.
