Mr. Martello. That is correct, sir.
Mr. Liebeler. And then you subsequently questioned Oswald concerning this matter, did you?
Mr. Martello. Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler. And in your memorandum you indicate that you had asked Oswald what his opinion was of the form of communism in Russia, and he replied that it stunk? Is that correct?
Mr. Martello. That is correct, sir.
Mr. Liebeler. That did in fact occur? Is that right?
Mr. Martello. That is correct, sir.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Oswald indicate to you any other attitudes that he had toward the Soviet Union, or did he particularize or go into more detail as to why he was dissatisfied with his stay in the Soviet Union?
Mr. Martello. Other than what I have in the memorandum where he stated that the people were still poor and depressed and that the present form of communism was not what it should be, the ideals, as he stated, were not in fact the true conditions in Russia.
Mr. Liebeler. Now your memorandum also indicates that you asked Oswald why he would not permit members of his family to learn the English language, and the memorandum indicates that Oswald said the reason why he did not so permit them was because he hated America and he did not want his family to become Americanized since he planned to go back to Russia. Is that correct?
