Mr. Holmes.

mailed it from some other post office, and they would have mailed it. But they would have had to enclose it in an envelope.

Mr. Liebeler.

Yes; because it is addressed to the postmaster in Dallas, Tex., and just as sure as anything it has a New Orleans postmark on it.

Mr. Holmes.

Yes; prior to the Dallas one, if we read the New Orleans one correctly.

Mr. Liebeler.

The New Orleans is hard to read, but it certainly is an October postmark.

Mr. Holmes.

That is the reason I wanted you to read the memo, because the hours are down there and are different from that.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now the New Orleans Post Office inspector, or an inspector in the office of New Orleans, has advised you that Oswald filled out a form 3575?

Mr. Holmes.

That is the regular forwarding order.

Mr. Liebeler.

And he did that on September 24; is that correct? Or September 25?

Mr. Holmes.

September 24.

Mr. Liebeler.

September 24, 1963, and his box down there was closed on September 26, presumably pursuant to the order that was mailed to them under postmark of September 24, 1963. Now has the Post Office Department in New Orleans given you any advice at all, as far as you can tell, concerning this Post Office Department Form 3546, which we have marked Holmes Exhibit No. 3-A?

Mr. Holmes.

No; other than their postmark on there. There is no endorsement there. But you see, Lafayette Station is in New Orleans, and it looks like that was completed by the person at Lafayette Station.

Mr. Liebeler.

Inasmuch as that is exactly what it says.

Mr. Holmes.

If that were completed in some other post office, they wouldn't know that box was in Lafayette Station.

Mr. Liebeler.

Let me suggest this. There is not the slightest evidence that Oswald ever filled that form out or ever saw it?

Mr. Holmes.

No; that is right.

Mr. Liebeler.

Because it is perfectly obvious this isn't his handwriting.

Mr. Holmes.

That is my opinion, too.

Mr. Liebeler.

So apparently somebody in the New Orleans Post Office filled this form out?

Mr. Holmes.

They could have done it over a telephone instruction, long-distance telephone call.

Mr. Liebeler.

Well, they could have done that from the records they had in their possession, because he already had filled out a Post Office Department 3575 instructing to forward mail from Post Office Box 30061 to 2515 West Fifth Street in Irving, which they had received, of course, on September 24?

Mr. Holmes.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Well, in any event, we will add this to the pile.

Mr. Holmes.

It is an original card.

Mr. Liebeler.

Let the record show Mr. Holmes has delivered to us the original card which has been marked as Holmes Exhibit No. 1-A.
I don't think I have any other questions. I have cleared up the basic problems we had. Of course, you managed to raise a few more, and I appreciate that. Thank you very much. As I understand it at this point, Mr. Holmes, you have given to us or to the FBI, all of the papers that you found so far in your files relating to Lee Harvey Oswald, is that correct?

Mr. Holmes.

Yes; you have every original document or item that I have come in contact with in this business.

Mr. Liebeler.

Between us and the FBI?

Mr. Holmes.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now it may be as you suggested----

Mr. Holmes.

Except Ruby's.

Mr. Liebeler.

And you have given us a copy?

Mr. Holmes.

I have given you a good clear photocopy.

Mr. Liebeler.

Right If you do come across any other papers in your files----

Mr. Holmes.

I will get in touch with Martha Jo [Stroud, assistant U.S. attorney in Dallas, Tex.].

Mr. Liebeler.

Yes; let us know. Thank you a lot again.
