Mr. Jenner.

It is the classification you gave him?

Mr. Brooks.

I think that is the one I gave him. I am not certain, but I think that is the one I gave him; yes. I mean, to say anything further, I would have to perhaps look in the E-41.

Mr. Jenner.

In whose handwriting are the entries appearing on the back of the card in the squares relating to summary of other work experience. Shoe salesman, 4 months, New Orleans, La. General office work, 1 year, New Orleans, La., 1961.

Mr. Brooks.

This is my handwriting. Shoe salesman, 4 months, Louisiana, central office. General--excuse me, I year, New Orleans, 1961. That is my handwriting.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he supply that information?

Mr. Brooks.

Yes; probably on the initial interview.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall conversing with him or going back into his history when he was in the service or was married and where he had been?

Mr. Brooks.

I would not want to say if I did. I usually do. But, of course, I inquired evidently about the service or I have I wouldn't have put the service date.

Mr. Jenner.

Those service dates, where are they?

Mr. Brooks.

They are on the front of the card here; right here.

Mr. Jenner.

Oh, yes. Under the heading "Entry on Active Service," October 23, 1956. "Released from Active Service," September 11, 1959.
But you do recall, or you wouldn't have made the entry "General office work, 1 year, New Orleans, La., 1961"?

Mr. Brooks.

That is my handwriting.

Mr. Jenner.

That was made in the usual regular course of your business and in having. an interview with this man?

Mr. Brooks.

Yes; that is right. I put those dates there.

Mr. Jenner.

The back of the card, which is Exhibit E--13 (Cunningham Exhibit No. 1), when we look at that address, that is, Lee Oswald, 2515 West Fifth Street, Irving, Tex., that appears to have been written over something-that had been erased first.

Mr. Brooks.

This is probably due to the fact that he probably moved.

Mr. Jenner.

Moved?

Mr. Brooks.

Yes, sir. We have to keep, we try to keep up our address dates as current as possible, because if we don't, there was no way to get in contact with the applicant.

Mr. Jenner.

I see another entry of 10-9-62, and then Mrs. Cunningham of 10-10-62, and then an entry or series of entries in October 1963.
Would I be correct in supposing that when you interviewed him on the 9th of October 1962, and put in whatever address he had at that time, and then later on in October 1963, when he was again interviewed, he had a new address, and the old address was erased and the new address put in?

Mr. Brooks.

Yes; that is the way it usually happens.

Mr. Jenner.

I will have to get the original to bring out that latent address. Mr. Brooks, you have been very helpful to us.

Mr. Brooks.

I wish I could remember more, actually.

Mr. Jenner.

You have added to our fund of knowledge, so don't you be regretful. There are one or two things here that neither Mr. Statman nor Mr. Adams nor Mrs. Cunningham could enlighten us about and you have done so, so you have been helpful and I appreciate it.
I know you are anxious to be more helpful as we all are, but all we can do is get the basic facts.

Mr. Brooks.

I want to be certain if I say something. But I wish I could remember more about the applicant Oswald, himself, but it is hard to do, actually.
I was surprised actually at the time, of course, when they had told me I had taken his application. Actually, I didn't remember it at the time, but I thought about it.
And the Marine Corps probably brought in back a little, and like everyone else, I read the papers a lot.
But I can't remember anything specific about him, just general things.
