Mr. Liebeler. So the man who you later thought to be Oswald did not speak Spanish; is that right?
Mr. Rodriguez. No; the man I later learned to be Oswald did not speak Spanish.
Mr. Liebeler. What time of the day did this happen?
Mr. Rodriguez. This happened about 2:30 or between 2:30 and 3 o'clock in the morning. I am not certain of the exact hour, but that's the best of my recollection.
Mr. Liebeler. Were either of these men drunk?
Mr. Rodriguez. The man I later learned to be Oswald had his arm around the Latin-appearing man, and Oswald appeared to be somewhat drunk.
Mr. Liebeler. You mentioned previously that someone was a Cuban but an American citizen. Were you referring to the man that was with Oswald, or Orest Pena, the owner of the bar?
Mr. Rodriguez. What I did was, the Latin-appearing man asked me if the owner of the bar was a Cuban, and I told him that he was a Cuban, but an American citizen. That's the way that was.
Mr. Liebeler. Are you able to say the nationality of the man that was with Oswald?
Mr. Rodriguez. I am not able to state what his exact nationality was, but he appeared to be a Latin, and that's about as far as I can go. He could have been a Mexican; he could have been a Cuban, but at this point, I don't recall.
