United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. Now, taking those entries, would you comment on each of
them in that respect, taking them seriatically and tell us about it.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. On the first line entry, in the column headed "Call"
there is a dash. That indicates to me that the applicant was not called
in, that he was in the office and referred to the placement section. On
the same line, under the word "referred" there is a date--10-8, which
is struck through, and above that is written "10-10" and then under the
heading, "Employer or agency," I am reading the entry there, "Harrel
and Harrington, architects;" under job title or purpose, the word
"Messenger"; under the abbreviation for duration, the letter "P" which
indicates a permanent job; under "pay", I am reading $1.50.
Mr. JENNER. Per hour?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. The hour is not indicated--that is inferred. There
is no entry under "results". On the same line under "remarks" are the
initials "LL".
Mr. JENNER. Whose initials are those?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Placement worker who was with us formerly, whose name
is Louise Latham.
Mr. JENNER. She was with you until yesterday?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Well, I knew it has been an off again and on again
situation--so you are more current than I about even in my own agency.
Shall I begin on the next line?
Mr. JENNER. Now, as far as that reference is concerned, there is
nothing recorded as to what the result of that reference was?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. That is right. After having seen it, my recollection
was that the boy was not hired.
Mr. JENNER. That was the decision of the employer?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir; and that is the information that would have
come through me, either from talking to the placement worker or to
Oswald on a second interview, you see?
Mr. JENNER. The cause for that doesn't appear--of course, it may be
that when he got there the job was filled or anyone of a number of
reasons?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Since it is a blank entry, the applicant could not
have reported, or the employer had rejected him, or he had seen other
applicants and chose from them.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Let's go to the next line.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Under the column "Call"--10-26-62.
Mr. JENNER. That indicates what?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. That he was called by telephone message, because there
is a "TM" above the date.
Mr. JENNER. That means "telephone message"?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. I think that I am correct that that is the meaning
there. Under the "referred"--NRO.
Mr. JENNER. What does that mean?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. No referral offered.
Mr. JENNER. What does that mean?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. That in trying to fill an order of an employer, the
placement interviewer called in a given number of applicants, in
trying to find one who would meet his specifications after reviewing
application cards (referring to Form E-13; Cunningham Exhibit No. 1),
and I would read it that the applicant replied that he came to the
placement worker, that in the discussion the placement worker made the
decision not to refer him.
