Mr. Cadigan.

On the right-hand side of the card the word "President, appears, and on Cadigan Exhibit No. 15 a portion of the "r" and the "e" is missing, due to the retouching. Examination of the corresponding area on Cadigan Exhibit No. 19 shows that this was due to retouching a portion of the signature of the local board. Similarly, in the wording "heavy penalty for violation" appearing below the signature, the word "violation" is considerably distorted in that portions of the various letters are missing. The negative shows this is due to retouching, and a comparison with the original card of Oswald, of which Cadigan Exhibit No. 19 is an enlargement, shows where the lower loops of the letter "f" cut into the letter, cut into the printed word "violation," which required retouching by the individual to remove it.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Have you taken photographs of these negatives to illustrate these points?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

This is that photograph?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

That will be marked Cadigan Exhibit No. 20.
(The document referred to was marked Cadigan Exhibit No. 20.)

Mr. Cadigan.

And by referring to the Cadigan Exhibit No. 20, which shows the retouching, examination of the area in the word "President" will show where the portion of the "r" has been cut off. It will show where the capital letter "I" appears in the space provided "been classified in Class," the "I" being' part of the classification, Roman numeral "IV-A," which appears on the original card.
Cadigan Exhibit No. 20 shows, also, the intermediate negative where the size of the warning appearing on the bottom of the card was reduced, and the additional retouching made that causes the distorted appearance of the word "violation" on the Commission Exhibit No. 795, so that it was based on my comparison side by side of the negatives; the photographic print, and the original exhibit in the wallet of Oswald, which enabled me to determine that this Commission Exhibit No. 795 was a fraudulent counterfeit made from retouched negatives which, in turn, were made from the original exhibits, Commission Exhibits Nos. 801 and 802.

Mr. Eisenberg.

I think that Cadigan Exhibits Nos. 16, 17, and 18 are self-explanatory.

Mr. Cadigan.

They merely serve to illustrate the indented typewriting that appears on these exhibits.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Mr. Cadigan, I now hand you Commission Exhibit No. 806, purporting to be a certificate of service that Alek James Hidell has honorably served on active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps, and ask you whether you have examined that document?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

And I hand you Commission Exhibit No. 812, consisting of two negatives. Have you examined those negatives?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Based upon your examination, have you come to any conclusion as to the construction of Commission Exhibit No. 806?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes; again, this is a fraudulent and counterfeit reproduction made from photographic negatives which, in turn, were made from the original card issued in the name of Lee Harvey Oswald.

Mr. Eisenberg.

Have you taken a photograph of the original card?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes.

Mr. Eisenberg.

And where does that appear? That is the photograph you are handing me now, which we will label Cadigan Exhibit No. 21?

Mr. Cadigan.

Yes.
(The document referred to was marked Cadigan Exhibit No. 21.)

Mr. Eisenberg.

Cadigan Exhibit. No. 21 includes the selective service registration certificate we have been discussing, is that correct?

Mr. Cadigan.

No; it includes an enlargement of the original Selective Service System registration certificate issued in the name of Lee Harvey Oswald.

Mr. Eisenberg.

And that is the Selective Service System certificate on which the forgery in the name of Hidell was based?
