Mr. Liebeler.

Did you have difficulty in understanding this agent when he spoke to you in Spanish?

Mr. Delgado.

No. See, I took it in high school. But he had difficulty in interpreting my Spanish.

Mr. Liebeler.

So you think he was likely to have gotten the opinion that you weren't very proficient in Spanish?

Mr. Delgado.

Right. But I would be willing to challenge him if he and I go down to Spanish Harlem and see who gets across faster.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you form an impression of these FBI agents when they talked to you? Were they----

Mr. Delgado.

The one fellow, the older one, white-haired fellow, he was a nice guy. And the two other ones, I never seen them before, two different fellows.

Mr. Liebeler.

How many agents talked to you altogether?

Mr. Delgado.

I don't know if this Spanish guy was an agent or not. He never introduced himself. But there was this white-hatred fellow, and then two different men; three men altogether, not including this Spanish guy.

Mr. Liebeler.

So there would have been four men altogether?

Mr. Delgado.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

You are quite sure about that?

Mr. Delgado.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Can you tell me approximately when these people talked to you?

Mr. Delgado.

The first time I came in contact was, let's see, about January was the first time I was contacted by the white-haired fellow.

Mr. Liebeler.

Was he the fellow who spoke Spanish?

Mr. Delgado.

No; he was the man from the Red Bank office, I believe he said he was, Red Bank, N.J. And then 2 weeks later he came to the battery to see me, about a month later he came back with this Spanish fellow, and about another month these other two fellows came in. They were all FBI agents though. They showed me their book.

Mr. Liebeler.

The first time that the white-haired agent talked to you was when?

Mr. Delgado.

About January, about a month or a month and a half after Kennedy's assassination.

Mr. Liebeler.

Could it have been in the middle of December?

Mr. Delgado.

No; I don't think it was that close. Let's see, November 22---I think it was more to the last part of December, not to the middle.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did this FBI agent talk to you about this rifle practice that you have just told us about?

Mr. Delgado.

Yes; he did.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember what you told him?

Mr. Delgado.

Basically the same thing I told you, except he didn't ask for it like you did, about the possibility of forging the score, and I didn't explain to him about the NCOs in the lines and in the pits, also keeping the score.

Mr. Liebeler.

You told the FBI that in your opinion Oswald was not a good rifle shot; is that correct?

Mr. Delgado.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

And that he did not show any unusual interest in his rifle, and in fact appeared less interested in weapons than the average marine?

Mr. Delgado.

Yes. He was mostly a thinker, a reader. He read quite a bit.

Mr. Liebeler.

You told us just a few minutes ago that you took third in the pool; is that correct?

Mr. Delgado.

Yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did the FBI agent ask you about that?

Mr. Delgado.

No. He asked me how I placed. I told him I placed pretty high; that's about all.

Mr. Liebeler.

In the report that I have in front of me of an interview that Special Agents Richard B. Murdoch and James A. Marley, Jr., took of you on January 15, 1964, at Holmdel, N.J., which would have been at the base---is that correct?

Mr. Delgado.

Right.

Mr. Liebeler.

It appears from the record here, from the report that I have, that the Spanish-speaking agent was Mr. Murdoch.
