Mr. Rankin.

Will you tell us about those, please?

Mr. Johnson.

The notations are "Send catalog and limited supply."

Mr. Rankin.

What does that mean?

Mr. Johnson.

That is in reference to a request for literature, and I stated to send a limited supply, I mean, which means usually a copy of one, a single copy of several pieces at the particular time.

Mr. Rankin.

I see. And what does the catalog reference mean?

Mr. Johnson.

The catalog is a----

Mr. Rankin.

A listing of your supplies and literature?

Mr. Johnson.

It is a listing of literature, which is a rather old catalog, to tell the truth about it, of the International Publishers, which usually is included in--which includes many other pieces of literature that if the person was interested they could purchase.

Mr. Rankin.

Will you explain the other notation?

Mr. Johnson.

The other notation is "lit sent," which means that the literature was sent.

Mr. Rankin.

That notation was made by you too?

Mr. Johnson.

That is my writing too.

Mr. Rankin.

And the double line?

Mr. Johnson.

This double line refers to this particular point of literature, and I made that double line. That is all.

Mr. Rankin.

Does this Exhibit 1, as you received it, consist of two handwritten pages apparently written by Lee Harvey Oswald on or before the date they bear, together with a single printed sheet about "Hands off Cuba"?

Mr. Johnson.

Yes. In the letter he refers to the leaflet "like the one enclosed," and that accompanied the letter. It is also true on the leaflet he refers to the term "free literature."

Mr. Rankin.

Do you have any recollection of just what literature you sent?

Mr. Johnson.

At the time when I turned this over I included copies of what I would assume would have been the literature at the time.

Mr. Rankin.

That is when you turned it over to the FBI?

Mr. Johnson.

Yes; I turned over copies of the literature at the same time. That would be the normal thing for that particular period. I think. I could think through carefully----

Mr. Rankin.

Would that be four or five pieces?

Mr. Johnson.

Possibly more than that; about seven or eight.

Mr. Rankin.

Could you briefly describe about what they were for the record?

Mr. Johnson.

Well, they would be those pieces of literature which somehow state what was being distributed around that time from our offices, and I know it included a pamphlet "End The Cold War" by Gus Hall; it included a pamphlet on the McCarran Act. I think it would have included at that time another pamphlet on "Peaceful Co-existence." Then the pamphlet that we usually sent by Elizabeth Flynn, something of the history of the Communist Party, "Horizons of the Future." I am guessing now, to tell the truth about it, from here on.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you recall the reference in this Exhibit I to honorary membership cards in the Fair Play For Cuba?

Mr. Johnson.

I know the reference is there; yes.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you recall whether or not the cards were enclosed or not?

Mr. Johnson.

I really don't remember that.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you ever have any oral communications with Lee Harvey Oswald?

Mr. Johnson.

None whatsoever.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you ever have any oral communications with anybody on his behalf?

Mr. Johnson.

None whatsoever.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you recall doing anything about the honorary membership cards, giving them to Mr. Hall and Mr. Davis, or anything like that?

Mr. Johnson.

No. That is where I don't really recall about them. If I would have done that, then I am sure that I would have remembered it.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you recall doing anything else about the letter, Exhibit 1, and the printed sheet attached to it beyond what you have described?

Mr. Johnson.

I replied to it.
