Mr. Adams.

performed in the past, so that there would be one or more application cards, a Lindex strip, and the counselling records if the individual had been counseled.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, assuming Mrs. Latham assisted Lee Oswald in obtaining a position, a record of some kind--some kind of a recordation of that fact would be made?

Mr. Adams.

Yes, on the application---on the individual's application card, the face gives essential information as to names, address, telephone number, birthdate, height, weight, education, the job code to which he has been assigned, the high school from which he graduated, the college which he attended and/or which he graduated, special skills which he may possess in the use of business machines, and any hobbies which might be job oriented, such as skin diving and things of that sort, and the back side shows the jobs the individual has held, beginning with the most recent and going back to the most significant job he has held.
Inside the folded card, one-half of the upper half is for comments concerning availability of public or private transportation, the minimum salary the individual is willing to accept, any restrictions or qualifications the individual may place on employment.
The other half of the upper portion indicates whether or not the individual has been counseled. It may include pertinent information such as the individual has been under psychiatric care, has a police record, anything which might be necessary in discussing this individual intelligently with an employer.
The bottom haft lists the referrals-or attempted •referrals of this individual for employment.
Each time an attempt is made to contact the individual, an entry will be made indicating the date when the contact is attempted, the method, that is, whether by telephone, by telephone message or by mail, the date on which he was referred, if he was referred, or if he was not referred, whether he refused the job or whether he was found not qualified; if he was referred, whether
or not he was hired; if he was a claimant, whether or not--if he rejected the job--that information was sent to the claims office indicating that he had rejected employment or rejected an offer of employment, anything pertaining to this particular job offer is shown on a given line or lines, as it might be.

Mr. Jenner.

And are they now in the possession of TEC, records of that character relating to Lee Harvey Oswald?

Mr. Adams.

I don't know from my own knowledge, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Would Mr. Sayre know that?

Mr. Adams.

It is my belief that these records are in the hands of the FBI or Secret Service, but he would know.

Mr. Jenner.

Were photostatic copies made, do you know?

Mr. Adams.

That, I don't know, sir. Apparently, I did talk to him on the phone several times, because the card indicates that I had done so and I do not recall.

Mr. Jenner.

Well, do you recall when you were interviewed by Mr. Odum of the FBI on the 27th of November 1963?

Mr. Adams.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

At that time you appeared to have a recollection of a telephone call from Oswald on October 8, in response to a message of your own of October 7, 1963. Do you recall that incident?

Mr. Adams.

No, sir; I couldn't say that I positively do. If the record says I did, I did.

Mr. Jenner.

Then, I take it, that a record of the transaction was made?

Mr. Adams.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

If it occurred?

Mr. Adams.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And you have no recollection independent of that record?

Mr. Adams.

No, sir--if I might clarify that, sir, by saying that in the case of an applicant with whom one has repeated dealings,. whether good or bad, these would stick. Otherwise, one talks to anywhere to 10 to 30 applicants a day, day in and day out, personally and by telephone and with the exception of those' applicants with whom I have had extensive dealings either because they are problem cases or because they are really outstanding good applicants,
