Mr. Jenner. Well, I'll take that part of the community.
Mr. Mamantov. All right. We didn't accuse her one way or another way, but we couldn't understand how she could come out of the Soviet Union so easily and also, statements she made to my mother-in-law about him living in a small apartment, which we still have relatives and, I mean distant relatives, and we know that they cannot live in a comfortable apartment. For this reason, we have opinion, or, we wouldn't trust her on the first-hand information.
Mr. Jenner. Did she have a reputation in the Russian community with respect to whether or not she was a member of the Communist Party? Now, that is a political question.
Mr. Mamantov. Now, she told my mother-in-law——
Mr. Jenner. Now, please, did she have a reputation?
Mr. Mamantov. Wait just a second——
Mr. Jenner. A reputation, whether she was or was not—what did the Russian community as a whole, now, not just your mother-in-law?
Mr. Mamantov. All right—you want the Communist Party of the United States or Communist Party of the Soviet Union?
Mr. Jenner. All right, I'll take both of them—I'll take the Communist Party of the Soviet Union first.
Mr. Mamantov. Everybody knew that she was a member of the Communistic Youth Organization—she didn't even hide this, but I never have heard of somebody implying that she would be a member of the Communist Party of the United States, so as community, I don't think everybody considered her as well tied to the Communist Party as the community did Oswald himself.
