"Did you shoot the President?" "Uh, No, nobody has told me that, nobody has charged me with that."
In 1963 I was thirteen and the assassination made a huge impression on me. My mother got me a LP called A Time To Keep 1963 which is a basically a compilation of various audio recorded during special happenings during the year 1963. Of course the assassination figures prominently on it. It was made by NBC and narrated by Chet Huntley and David Brinkley. I still have it and I took it out to play today because the Oswald quote as you posted it, wasn't as I remembered hearing it. The following are Oswald's words in his own voice as heard on the RCA record.
Reporter-"Did you shoot the President?"
Oswald-"I didn't shoot anybody sir. I haven't been told what I'm here for"
Reporter (possibly a different one)- "Do you have a lawyer?"
Oswald- "No sir, I don't
My wife and I are both old enough to remember the incident very well. And while we did other things while visiting Dallas, we went there because we wanted to visit Dealey Plaza. It was incredibly informative and I recommend it to anyone who has an interest in that dark day in American history.
