Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. Does it indicate that the form at least was commenced to be
filled out on the 9th, and that in any event, most of the information
thereon was recorded on the 9th and the 10th of October 1962?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Or thereabout, because our practice is--if we have a
current date that we did not redate every day--the individual is in--on
the application form, you see.
Mr. JENNER. Would it indicate at least reasonable certainty in your own
mind that he was in your own office on the 10th day of October 1962?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir; and that I talked with him.
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. The greater part of the information concerning his
reputation and training is in my handwriting.
Mr. JENNER. And that would indicate that you obtained that from him
when you interviewed him on the 10th of October 1962?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes; it also indicates that I used one of our
counseling tools, an interest checklist.
Mr. JENNER. Explain what that is.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. It is a form which asks for quick decisions about a
person's interests, like or dislike or question about sample jobs or
work and it is the relationship of the individual's interest to groups
of jobs. It would further indicate that on the 10th of October in 1962,
I learned from him that he had taken our general aptitude test battery
in the Fort Worth office.
Mr. JENNER. Now, your general aptitude test battery is something
distinct from the short form of test you just a moment ago mentioned,
is it?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir; it is a correlated tool--the interest check
list delves into interest. The general aptitude tests battery is a
measure of aptitude.
Mr. JENNER. Now, would you tell me what the results of the inquiries as
to the interests tests were?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. There is no indication on this form, and I would not
have detailed recollection of it, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Do you have any kind of recollection, detailed or otherwise?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. To tell you the truth, unless I saw it--I saw I.C.L.
here--I would have been uncertain whether I used this counseling tool.
Mr. JENNER. Mrs. Cunningham, this is Mr. Robert Davis of the attorney
general's office of the State of Texas.
Mr. DAVIS. Thank you so much for coming today, Mrs. Cunningham.
Mr. JENNER. Do you have any recollection of the subject of his interest
tests?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. I recall that there was some in the writing area.
Mr. JENNER. This was an aptitude, a particular aptitude?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Interest, sir; I am speaking of.
Mr. JENNER. He had an interest in doing some writing?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall your inquiries of him on that subject, how
did you probe him in that connection? He had an interest, but the fact
that somebody says he has an interest in doing something, that isn't
sufficient for you, is it?
