Summary:  
This document contains an interview conducted by the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) with Gary Edward Taylor on June 11, 1978, in Dallas, Texas. Taylor, a taxi cab driver for Yellow Cab Company, provided information about his interactions with Lee Harvey Oswald and George De Mohrenschildt during the early 1960s. Taylor described Oswald as an unlikable, socially awkward individual who rarely discussed his time in the Soviet Union beyond general remarks about living conditions and work in Minsk. He noted that Oswald did not mention any contact with the KGB or attempts to commit suicide while in Russia. Taylor also recounted meeting Marina Oswald, who showed him a rifle belonging to LHO, which he described as a rifle but could not specify further. Taylor stated that Marina appeared fearful of Oswald and exhibited signs of physical abuse. He mentioned receiving a manuscript from Oswald, which he found poorly written, and noted no evidence of Oswald having a motive for assassinating President Kennedy. Taylor also provided details about his personal history, employment, and acquaintances, including Jack Moore, R.K. Johnson, Sigmund Andrews, and connections to the FBI’s Dallas Field Office. He expressed interest in contacting Alexandra De Mohrenschildt regarding potential information in her husband’s estate.
