Mr. Blalock.

No, sir. Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

But you do recall sort of vaguely that Oswald did say that he had been in Florida and he had visited an Anti-Castro Cuban organization there?

Mr. Blalock.

Yes, sir; I do.

Mr. Liebeler.

Can you remember anything else about this incident in the store that day when Oswald came in?

Mr. Blalock.

Oh, he said he lived on Magazine Street.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did he give his exact address to you? Do you remember?

Mr. Blalock.

I don't believe he gave his exact address, but I couldn't say for sure.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did he say anything about whether he was working or not, whether he had a job?

Mr. Blalock.

I don't remember if he said anything about his job.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did he tell you anything about his background? Did he say he was from New Orleans or anything about that?

Mr. Blalock.

No, sir; I don't remember anything about that.

Mr. Liebeler.

Can you think of anything else that happened?

Mr. Blalock.

Philip Geraci and I started following him home after we both left the store. Oswald, Philip and I both left the store about the same time. We started to follow Oswald to his house just out of curiosity, and I recollect that Oswald said he would give us his Marine manual if we ever came back, if we contacted him.

Mr. Liebeler.

That he would give you the Marine manual if you saw each other at the store again?

Mr. Blalock.

At the store or just saw each other, if we would contact him and get it, we could have it. If he saw us again, he would give it to us.

Mr. Liebeler.

How long did you continue to follow him home? Did you just walk out and walk down the street with him, or did you sort of shadow him or----

Mr. Blalock.

No, sir. We walked out the door. We both started different directions, and Philip and I said, "Why don't we follow him and get the Marine manual now, nothing else to do." We started to go to the corner, and we didn't see him, so we went on our way.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you ever see the Marine manual?

Mr. Blalock.

No, sir; I didn't.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you ever talk to Mr. Bringuier again after that?

Mr. Blalock.

No, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

You never saw Carlos again until just today----

Mr. Blalock.

No, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

When you saw him come out of this room and leave the building?

Mr. Blalock.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Are you and Philip good friends?

Mr. Blalock.

I wouldn't say real close friends, but we are friends.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you talk about this incident or talk about Oswald at all after this time but prior to the assassination?

Mr. Blalock.

No, sir; I don't believe we did. We talked about the Cuban Student Organization.

Mr. Liebeler.

Were you aware of the fact that Oswald was subsequently arrested here in New Orleans in connection with his activity on behalf of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee?

Mr. Blalock.

No; I didn't know about that until after the assassination.

Mr. Liebeler.

You didn't hear Oswald debate Carlos on the radio program----

Mr. Blalock.

No, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Or you didn't see Oswald on television?

Mr. Blalock.

No, sir. I might have. I just don't remember it.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did Philip say anything about having seen these things?

Mr. Blalock.

Not to me he didn't.

Mr. Liebeler.

So you never had any real discussions, as far as you remember, with Philip about Oswald until the time of the assassination? Is that correct?

Mr. Blalock.

That is correct.
