Mr. Glover. Yes. Well, I did get the impression from what I recall of his letter, that he had checked with the FBI, and I remember he stated specifically in the letter, either in Fort Worth or Dallas, about Oswald, and they told him that he was apparently all right, he was acceptable. They passed on him in some way. I don't remember the exact way he put it. It is in the letter.
Mr. Jenner. Had you had any discussion with De Mohrenschildt on that subject on or about the time of your meeting the Oswalds?
Mr. Glover. When I got this letter, it reminded me that at one time when they were first talking about putting Marina somewhere, getting her to go somewhere, that he had made some remark to the same effect, that he had some people who were very dubious of the situation, they didn't want to have anything to do with the people, and he told them he checked with the FBI and they were all right, or words to that effect.
Mr. Jenner. You used an expression a few minutes ago that apparently you made a mistake. Do you recall that?
Mr. Glover. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. In this connection, what do you mean by that?
Mr. Glover. I referred directly to one thing, I made the mistake of assuming that a man in his situation—of assuming that, because this man had the history of having been in Russia, apparently, and had brought his Russian wife with him, and so forth, that the FBI would know all about it, and although I was very much perplexed by him, I felt that he must be not a dangerous person. I don't think the FBI thought he was as dangerous as he was, and I think I made a mistake when I assumed that they could know that he was harmless. I assumed that the FBI would know about such a person, and in having this conversation with them, they said, of course they are not able to do that.
Mr. Jenner. Did you have any contact with the FBI prior to November 22, 1963, concerning the Oswalds, or either of them?
Mr. Glover. I did not.
Mr. Jenner. Did they—they didn't interview you, and you made no calls or had any contact with them?
