(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
Thank you.
Mr. Oswald.
And that she was going to go to Dallas in the presence of this Fort Worth Star Telegram, and she asked me did I have enough money to fly down immediately.
I advised her I was 35 or 30 miles away from Dallas, Tex., that I was not in Arkansas, and that it was my intention to go to Dallas just as fast as possible. And she stated that she believed she would stay at the Baker Hotel, and asked me to meet her there.
I agreed to this. However, this meeting never did take place at the Baker Hotel.
Mr. Jenner.
A meeting did take place at the Adolphus?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir. As prior testimony--at the Dallas police station, on the night of November 22, 1963.
Mr. Jenner.
You referred to, on page 3--to a Fort Worth general office, and a gentleman by the name of Reger.
Mr. Oswald.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
And that is the Fort Worth general office of the Acme Brick Co.?
Mr. Oswald.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
You mentioned another gentleman there. I don't know if I read your writing correctly. Bill----
Mr. Oswald.
Darwin.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you speak with him on that occasion that you related in your notes?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Jenner.
And what was the purpose of your talking with those gentlemen?
Mr. Oswald.
The purpose of talking to Mr. Darwin was to advise him that I needed to go to Dallas, and his immediate reply was yes, he had just heard--I believe he did say--about Lee, or about my brother, and that I was to do just anything that I deemed necessary and not worry about the office.
And he did inform me at the latter part of this conversation that the FBI had called the Fort Worth general office in an attempt to talk to me or to locate me.
Mr. Jenner.
Was any suggestion made by him at that time that you get in touch with the Fort Worth Office of the FBI?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; I advised him that I would contact the FBI upon completion of our conversation.
Mr. Jenner.
And you did so?
Mr. Oswald.
I did so.
Mr. Jenner.
And a reference to that----
Mr. Dulles.
By telephone?
Mr. Oswald.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
A reference to that appears on page 4 of your memorandum.
Mr. Oswald.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
I won't go into that interview. But on that occasion, and all other occasions when you had interviews with, or were interviewed either by the FBI or Secret Service, you related the whole truth and nothing but the truth to the best of your knowledge and information at the time you were being interviewed?
Mr. Oswald.
That is right.
Mr. Jenner.
At this moment, had you contacted anyone other than those you have now mentioned?
Up to this point of the sequence of events?
Mr. Oswald.
May I qualify that question--outside of my office in Denton, Tex., sir.
Mr. Jenner.
The office in Denton, Tex., the call to your mother, the call to Mrs. Oswald, your wife Vada, the call to the FBI office.
Mr. Oswald.
No. Sir; I did not.
Mr. Jenner.
Are all of the contacts that you had and all of the occasions of interviews during the period November 22, 1963, through the following week, November 25, recorded in your memorandum?
