Mr. Cole.

the second negative of the pair a successful operation in touching out those titular parts was accomplished.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Do you believe that the second negative was Prepared from the first, or they were prepared separately from the Selective Service card itself?

Mr. Cole.

I believe that the second negative was prepared from a Photographic print of the first one.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Chairman, for ease of discussion, I would like to take out the "first negative" from Exhibit 800 and give it a separate number, 803, if I may. Is that all right, Mr. Chairman?
Senator COOPER. Yes.
(The negative referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 803, and was received in evidence.)

Mr. Cole.

The negative I hand you now is the one I referred to as the first negative, and the one having the most extensive retouching or opaquing.

Mr. Eisenberg.

That is the one with the portion of the signature appearing over the word "violation"?

Mr. Cole.

That is right. A portion which has not been retouched out of the negative.

Mr. Eisenberg.

And does that same portion appear in the original of Oswald's card, 801?

Mr. Cole.

It does.
Senator COOPER. Is that a part of the record?

Mr. Eisenberg.

Yes, sir. Now, there is a good deal of red material on the reverse side of this "first negative." That is the opaquing material, is it?

Mr. Cole.

Correct.

Mr. Eisenberg.

I would like to make the "second negative" referred to 804 Mr. Chairman.
Senator COOPER Very well. You want that made a part of the record?

Mr. Eisenberg.

Yes, sir.
Senator COOPER. Let it be made a part of the record.
(The negative referred to, marked Commission Exhibit 804, was received in evidence.)

Mr. Eisenberg.

We are extracting that from 800 for ease of discussion. Now, Mr. Cole, I call your attention to the fact that the words appearing on the face of the original 801, the printed material beginning "The law requires you, subject to heavy penalty for violation, to carry this notice in addition to your Registration Certificate," and going on for two full paragraphs of small or ordinary Roman lower and upper case, and ending in solid caps "FOR ADVICE, SEE YOUR GOVERNMENT APPEAL AGENT," this language in the original spreads across the bottom of the card from left to right, starting slightly to the right of the dotted line running up and down the card and marked "registrant must sign here," and extending quite close to the right margin.
Does it appear in the same fashion, approximately, on the "first negative," which is Exhibit 803?

Mr. Cole.

Yes; but, of course, this negative includes a section along the left side which is not shown on the original.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Which is actually a blank section, is that correct?

Mr. Cole.

Correct.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Is the negative slightly enlarged, apart from that blank section?

Mr. Cole.

I think it is the same size.

Mr. Eisenberg.

I call your attention to the "second negative," which is Exhibit 804, and this same language, "The law requires you," and so forth, until "FOR ADVICE, SEE YOUR GOVERNMENT APPEAL AGENT" appears in a much smaller compass, that is to say it starts substantially to the right of the margin or the signature line and is separated from the signature line by another dotted line.

Mr. Cole.

That is correct.

Mr. Eisenberg.

And does that correspond to the forged card, 795?

Mr. Cole.

It does.
