Warren Commission (10 of 26): Hearings Vol. X (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. But you don't recall you made a specific inquiry on the
subject?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. No, sir; what is on the card would tend to indicate
that I took it as it was recorded and that I did ask whether he had to
use the bus to get to and from work--to--yes.
Mr. JENNER. Now, the next line in your handwriting reads----
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. "Wife and child" and in parenthesis "8 months" which
indicates the information I was given about the age of the child as of
that date.
Mr. JENNER. The child was 8 months old?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. When did you make the entries about which I am now
examining you?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. In October 1962.
Mr. JENNER. At that time this child was more than 8 months old?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. I could have recorded it wrong. I could have been
informed wrong.
Mr. JENNER. Let me see--I will withdraw that--I may be wrong.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. I don't even know enough to check on it.
Mr. JENNER. That's what you recorded, in any event?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And you would have received that information from him?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. The next line?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. "Outstanding verbal and clerical potential." That
comes from what I was seeing on the test scores. It is to alert the
placement worker of where the counselor finds his greatest potential to
be through the testing.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Next line.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. "Financial position necessitates immediate employment."
Mr. JENNER. And that in turn affected what I might describe as being
your immediate classification of him?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And has a bearing on that--is there another line in your
hand?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. What is it?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. "Brother--junior executive, Acme Brick" and the second
line entry----
Mr. JENNER. That would have been information you received from him?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes. "Brother--Staff Sgt. Air Force."
Mr. JENNER. Does that indicate to you two separate brothers?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And that is information that he afforded you?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir.
The next entry is "10-10-62."
Mr. JENNER. All right, that is 8 days later?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. It sounds like to me the first day I saw the boy, or
the second day.
Mr. JENNER. Yes; you are right.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. "HPC" for my initials, and a "B" with a circle in it.
Mr. JENNER. Meaning what?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. I'm sorry--I'm not certain as to why that "B" was
recorded there. We do use or did use, an A, B, C, D, E, F, for the
kinds of problem and it could have been that, but I am unsure of what
that entry means.
Mr. JENNER. What were your A-B-C problems?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. This gentleman is going to ask me to remember the
whole manual this afternoon.
"A" is little or no work experience, and entry into the labor force
basically, with no vocational choice.
"B" is an entry into the labor force or relatively so, or re-entry with
a questionable choice.
