Mr. Jenner.

And what is done, then, in the normal course of this sort of thing, when an applicant comes in for the first time?

Mr. Statman.

The first is--this card is filled out, and the number one thing is to get the pertinent facts, and do you want me to give what we have on him?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mr. Statman.

We have his name and his address.

Mr. Jenner.

And what address is that?

Mr. Statman.

2515 West Fifth Street, Irving, Tex., and a telephone n. umber that indicates an Irving number--BL-3-1628, social. security number was given 433-54-3937. Now, under this is his military service to ascertain if he is a veteran, because veterans get preference. In other words, I don't know if you need to know that, but that pink card indicates a veteran, and by law we are to give veterans preference, and the information here is to again ascertain if he is to get veterans preference. In this he listed the entry of his service date 10-23-56, and he was released from active service 9-11-59.
Then, underneath--another category, "If needed for work, do you have " and it indicates "License, trucks, uniforms, car, tools," and he stated that he had none of these. In other words, some companies before they will hire you, like a mechanic has to have his own tools and some don't.

Mr. Jenner.

He answered he had none of those; is that correct?

Mr. Statman.

Yes none. Now, he gave his educational background---do you want to go into that?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mr. Statman.

He stated that he went to Arlington Heights, Fort Worth, 2 years, 5/56 and in that----

Mr. Jenner.

What is 5/56?

Mr. Statman.

Apparently, that is when he left school--I don't know--I'm guessing at that.

Mr. Jenner.

But that card does indicate that he told the interviewing official of the Commission that he attended Arlington Heights High School in Fort Worth for 2 years, terminating in May 1956.

Mr. Statman.

I think you can figure out, if that would be the start-let me see in 1956, how old would he have been--he would have been 17 years old, so it seems more plausible that he left in 1956 than he started, wouldn't it to you?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes.

Mr. Statman.

All right. He indicated courses that he took--2 years English, I year general math, I year algebra, I year general science.
Now, he indicates he has gotten a high school equivalency. That could have been obtained either through taking a G.E.D.----

Mr. Jenner.

What is that?

Mr. Statman.

General education--something--anyway, you. can take a test here and they will give you what is know as a high school equivalency, or he might have obtained that in the Army or. in the Marine Corps, but this is tantamount to having a high school education without completing the 4 years.

Mr. Jenner.

But indicating he did not complete 4 years?

Mr. Statman.

Not 4 years formal education. He is, as the name indicates, it is an equivalent--it's a certification that the man has an equivalency of a high school education.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mr. Statman.

Then, he had 2 1/2 months of electronic fundamentals, 2 1/2 months radar operator.

Mr. Jenner.

Does he have some dates?

Mr. Statman.

That's 1957--that was prior to when he was in the Marine Corps. Now, I can't tell you whether those dates run concurrently or he might have had a training first and then the radar operation next.

Mr. Jenner.

By the way, in whose handwriting or hand printing is that document?

Mr. Statman.

I can't be sure--some of these are .self applicants. In other words, they take it themselves, and others are prepared by the interviewer. Now, this Don Brooks could tell you. Here is his signature.

Mr. Jenner.

Here is whose signature?

Mr. Statman.

Lee Harvey Oswald's. This is on a different document.
