Mr. Liebeler.

had been received by Oswald under his own name or other names during period; is that correct?

Mr. Semingsen.

I am satisfied as to that.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now, also on the bottom of page 1 of your memorandum you indicate that no telegrams were sent by Lee Harvey Oswald or by any person under the name of the two aliases which we have mentioned, through the Dallas, Tex, office during the period September 1 to November 22, 1963; is that correct?

Mr. Semingsen.

That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

Would you tell us how you came to that conclusion?

Mr. Semingsen.

The same supervisory personnel who made the search for the "Received money orders" made the search for any telegram sent by Lee Harvey Oswald and alias already mentioned. The search was confined to "Sent paid cash message" and to "Sent collect messages."

Mr. Liebeler.

Those messages are filed chronologically, is that correct?

Mr. Semingsen.

Those messages are filed in date order.

Mr. Liebeler.

You mentioned two categories of messages to which the search was confined, and those were "Sent paid messages," or "Sent collect messages"?

Mr. Semingsen.

"Sent paid cash messages," and "Sent collect messages."

Mr. Liebeler.

What other type messages are there?

Mr. Semingsen.

The other types of messages are messages charged to customers having authorized charge accounts. It is obvious that a message filled by Oswald would not be found in any of our charge account message files.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now, it is possible to pick up the telephone and call the call the Western Union office and instruct-that a telegram be sent and have it charged to the telephone number, is it not?

Mr. Semingsen.

That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

Is that a separate category, or is that a third category?

Mr. Semingsen.

That is a separate category of messages filed by telephone subscribers and charged to their telephone.

Mr. Liebeler.

Was a search made of those messages?

Mr. Semingsen.

I believe a search was made of those message, but I would have to confirm that with Mr. Wilcox, our local district manager in Dallas.

Mr. Liebeler.

Well, for the sake of clarity of the record, at this point let me suggest that we go off the record, and Mr. Wilcox is available. Would you confer with Mr. Wilcox on that point and let us indicate on the record what he has advised you?

Mr. Semingsen.

Yes.
(Discussion off the record.)

Mr. Liebeler.

Let the record indicate that we have conferred off the with Mr. Wilcox, and you have consulted with him as to whether or not a check was made of the records covering messages called in. by telephone and charged to a telephone number. Would you tell us what Mr. Wilcox indicated?

Mr. Semingsen.

Mr. Wilcox made reference to notes in these files and determined that a search was not made of messages sent and charged to the telephone, for the reason that it had been indicated that Oswald had messages. at our office. In such' event, the message would not be charged telephone, and for that reason, a search of the sent messages charged to the telephone was not made.

Mr. Liebeler.

At the same time you mean to indicate that the thing that prompted this search by your office in the first place was the story that Oswald had actually been in the Western Union office and filed the message in person; is that correct?

Mr. Semingsen.

That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

If he had filed it in person, it would obviously not have been called in by telephone and charged to his telephone number; is that correct?

Mr. Semingsen.

That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

On the top of page a of your memorandum 3001, the statement appears "For money orders payable to Lee Harvey Oswald and his aliases or to anyone at a specific address in Dallas--October through November 1963---result Negative." Would you explain that for us please?

Mr. Semingsen.

Yes. As I have indicated in my prepared statement, one of
