Mr. JENNER. And this was, again, September of 1962--did you say?
Mr. JENNER. All right. September 1962. Okay--I've got myself oriented. Go ahead.
Mr. TAYLOR. And that we talked generally about some of the things that--uh--some of Lee's observations about Russia.
Mr. JENNER. Did he speak in English or Russian?
Mr. TAYLOR. He spoke in English when talking to my wife of that time or I; and quite often in Russian--as I believe everyone in the room spoke Russian except my wife, myself, and John Hall. I'm not sure if John Hall spoke Russian or not--but certainly both the De Mohrenschildts, and George Bouhe does.
Mr. JENNER. George Bouhe, both of the De Mohrenschildts--your mother-in-law and father-in-law and both the Oswalds--Lee and Marina?
Mr. TAYLOR. That's right. In addition to that, there was Mrs. Hall.
Mr. JENNER. And Mrs. Hall also spoke Russian?
Mr. JENNER. Neither you nor your then wife spoke Russian?
Mr. TAYLOR. She had a knowledge of Russian but certainly not enough to converse with them. She could understand some Russian when it was spoken to her, but could not speak but just a few words.
Mr. JENNER. Could she follow a normal conversation between two others who were speaking so each could understand the other, but not any attempt to slow down and what-not in order to enable her to try and pick up?
Mr. TAYLOR. I imagine they would have had to have spoken very plainly and slowly and using simple words for her to have understood any of it.
Mr. JENNER. I believe I interrupted you at a point where you stated that you talked generally about some of Lee's experiences and observations about Russia. Would you continue from that point, indicating as best you can now recall, what was said about Lee's experiences in Russia?
Mr. TAYLOR. It's difficult to remark specifically about what we talked of that day. Perhaps it would be better if I--uh--told you all I can remember that he said about Russia on several occasions now rather than--because I cannot remember specifically what we discussed on that day.
Mr. JENNER. All right. So we can get one point in the record--I'll probably ask more specifically about the different occasions later on. But give us a running account such as you have indicated you desire to make.
