Mr. Quigley.

that, I didn't continue for hours and hours--I did not know who this individual was at the time, so I felt that I had adequate background for the time being. If we wished to pursue it further, at least we had a basis to talk to him.

Mr. Stern.

Your report does not indicate, Mr. Quigley, specifically that you believed some of the information he told you was not true?

Mr. Quigley.

That is correct.

Mr. Stern.

Tell us why that is.

Mr. Quigley.

Well, I feel that a person reviewing the document can draw their own conclusions that the information that he has furnished is not complete, is inaccurate, that he is obviously withholding information, plus the fact that, as a matter of policy, we do not express conclusions or personal opinions. We are a factfinding agency. We allow the facts to speak for themselves.

Mr. Stern.

Would you look at page 10 of the report, the biographical data on Lee Harvey Oswald. At "place of birth" you have entered "New Orleans, Louisiana," but then put in parentheses, "at the time of arrest Oswald claimed he was from Cuba."

Mr. Quigley.

That is correct.

Mr. Stern.

This is not in your report as such, there is no statement, no recorded note of anything he told you about where he was born. How did that come up and what did he say?

Mr. Quigley.

Following my interview with Oswald, I, of course, spoke with Lieutenant Martello, and I made an observation that this Oswald was a New Orleans boy. I couldn't remember that yesterday, that he was a New Orleans boy, and Lieutenant Martello said, "Well, that isn't what he told the-officers at the time of arrest. He said he was born in Cuba," and this is why I recorded this. We frequently have persons who are arrested in various places in the county, and furnish record different dates, places of birth, and we always record any variations of what we feel is the truth, so our record will be complete on such a situation.

Mr. Stern.

Did Lieutenant Martello tell you anything else at the time you learned this?

Mr. Quigley.

No, sir; we didn't discuss it further.

Mr. Stern.

What was Lee Harvey Oswald's demeanor during the interview, his attitude, his cooperativeness?

Mr. Quigley.

He was receptive at the time I was questioning him about his general background, such as employment, "where have you been, what have you done," he told me he was unemployed at the time. He had previously worked for William Riley Coffee Co. there in New Orleans and he had been honorably discharged out of the service; that he had moved to Fort Worth after he had gotten out of the service and married, there were no problems involved here. But when I began questioning him with regard to his activities in the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, then he became reticent, reluctant to furnish information, and in some instances refused to furnish any information.

Mr. Stern.

Was he antagonistic, hostile?

Mr. Quigley.

He was antagonistic to some extent, not overly so. He certainly was not friendly.

Mr. Stern.

How long did the interview last, to the best you can recall?

Mr. Quigley.

As best I can recall approximately an hour and a half. This would include, of course, my reviewing of the documents with him, and so on.

Mr. Stern.

Did you get any indication that he was a dangerous individual or that he was, potentially, a violent individual? Mr. QUIGLEY. Absolutely none at all.

Mr. Dulles.

What documents did you review with him?

Mr. Quigley.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Dulles.

The Fair Play for Cuba Committee and the Corliss Lamont report?

Mr. Quigley.

Yes, sir; and the throwaways I went over those generally with him.

Mr. Stern.

When you concluded your interview, then what did you do? After awhile you talked to Lieutenant Martello. What did you do after that?

Mr. Quigley.

I returned to my headquarters.
