C6-265 cross-references pages 747-751 for “the factual and legal basis” of the relevant decision. These references support evaluation of the legal and factual determinations concerning Oswald’s expatriation attempt and citizenship status.
KAPITEL VI.
Chapter VI compiles background material on Lee Harvey Oswald through five thematic groupings: witness testimony regarding Oswald’s background in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, documentary and testimonial records on the De Mohrenschildt family’s background, records concerning the Paine family’s background, documentation of Oswald’s political affiliations and activities, and records relating to Oswald’s trip to Mexico City in the fall of 1963.
Oswald Background Witness Testimony
Witness testimony about Oswald’s background draws on Marina Oswald’s testimony and statements from numerous acquaintances in the Dallas–Fort Worth émigré community, including M. Clark, Peter and Paul Gregory, Bouhe, A. Meller, the De Mohrenschildts, the Fords, the Halls, Glover, V. and N. Ray, the Raigorodskys, the Taylors, Ballen, Mamantov, Gravitis, the Leslies, the Voshinins, and Gibson, supplemented by various Commission exhibits. The testimony covers Oswald’s domestic life with Marina, his employment difficulties, his behavior toward his wife, and the circumstances under which the Oswalds came to know various members of the community. Marina’s own statements about life with Oswald in the months leading up to the assassination are repeatedly cited alongside corroborating witnesses. Kleinlerer’s testimony is also referenced as relevant to these background inquiries. Notes 311–323 provide the specific citation references for this body of witness testimony.
De Mohrenschildt Background Records
Background records on the De Mohrenschildts are drawn from extensive testimony by G. De Mohrenschildt and J. De Mohrenschildt, supplemented by statements from Bouhe, M. Clark, the Voshinins, G. Taylor, Mamantov, H. Leslie, Glover, and others familiar with the couple. The material documents the De Mohrenschildts’ movements, business activities, social associations within the émigré community, and the nature of their relationship with the Oswalds. A Commission footnote (C6-340) notes that additional data relative to the De Mohrenschildts’ background is contained in the Commission’s files beyond the testimony and exhibits included in the report. The cited excerpts cover their activities in the early 1960s, their prior associations, and the contacts they had with Oswald. Notes 315, 316, and 326–350 provide the supporting references, including exhibits CE 3100, CE 3116, and CE 3117.
