Mr. Blalock.

No sir. I couldn't say for sure there was no mention of President Kennedy. I don't think there was.

Mr. Liebeler.

What did you think of Oswald?

Mr. Blalock.

He seemed like a very intelligent man to me, well spoken, looked well dressed, well groomed.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you think anything else about him, or is that about it?

Mr. Blalock.

That is the impression that I got right at the moment.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did he say anything about Florida?

Mr. Blalock.

Just mentioned the Cuban anti-Castro organization there.

Mr. Liebeler.

What did he say about that?

Mr. Blalock.

I don't remember exactly, but I think he said he had been there and he had looked into it. I couldn't say for sure on that.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did he mention the name of the organization?

Mr. Blalock.

No, sir. No, I don't recall any name.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember being interviewed about this subject by an FBI agent?

Mr. Blalock.

Yes, sir; I do, during the Christmas holidays.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember his name?

Mr. Blalock.

No, sir; I don't. All I know is a Lieutenant or something like that.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you think you would remember his name if I mentioned it to you?

Mr. Blalock.

I might, or my mother might. She was present.

Mr. Liebeler.

Your mother was present when you were interviewed by the FBI?

Mr. Blalock.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Would it refresh your recollection if I told you that the report that I have of the interview that you had with the FBI agent indicates that the man's name was Kevin J. Herrigan?

Mr. Blalock.

Herrigan? No. No; I don't remember that name.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember talking to the FBI agent about Oswald's remark concerning having been to Florida?

Mr. Blalock.

No, sir; I don't remember what I told the FBI agent. I don't remember anything about Oswald saying---only that I think he said he had been there.

Mr. Liebeler.

Well, the report that I have here says that you seemed to remember Oswald mentioning something about having recently visited something called the Casa Nostra, C-a-s-a N-o-s-t-r-a. Do you remember saying anything about that to the FBI man?

Mr. Blalock.

Yes, sir; I remember mentioning the organization, but I couldn't remember the name. That organization was mentioned in the conversation with Carlos Bringuier and Harvey Oswald.

Mr. Liebeler.

It was?

Mr. Blalock.

I believe so.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember that it was Oswald who mentioned it?

Mr. Blalock.

I don't remember which one mentioned it first.

Mr. Liebeler.

And it was mentioned as being a Cuban organization in Florida? Is that your recollection?

Mr. Blalock.

Yes, sir; I think that is the name they mentioned. It could be something similar. I know I got this Mafia name mixed up with a Cuban organization name.

Mr. Liebeler.

Well, you know that that name that I just mentioned, Casa Nostra, is very similar to the Cosa Nostra. Do you think you may have been confused at the time you talked with him?

Mr. Blalock.

Well, I meant the Cuban organization. I may have said the Mafia, the Cosa Nostra.

Mr. Liebeler.

You may have used that name?

Mr. Blalock.

But I meant the Cuban----

Mr. Liebeler.

You meant some Anti-Castro Cuban organization?

Mr. Blalock.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

So the best you can recall, Oswald didn't say that he had recently visited someone in the Cosa Nostra?
