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. Is there a recording there of what the prospective
reference would have been?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes--employer agency: The Dallas Transit.
Mr. JENNER. For what position?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Messenger, and I cannot read something in parentheses
after that--"permanent duration"--I judge it to be $175 a month.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. There is nothing in the result column.
Mr. JENNER. Whose initials?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. I'm sorry, I cannot distinguish them.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. However, there is the date--10-30, and I can't read
what is above the date--10-30.
Mr. JENNER. Is that on the same line?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes; I think.
Mr. JENNER. Let me see if I can read it--could that first word be
"working" and then there is some initial following 10-30, the first of
which appears to be "W", the next is "T", and the next is "F".
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. I wouldn't risk a guess at either one of those, sir,
because I am not acquainted with this handwriting and it is not mine.
Mr. JENNER. All right. Go to the next line, please.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. The next line--there is a dash under the word "Call",
"referred"--there is a date 10-12, there are no other entries on that
line.
Mr. JENNER. So, what does that mean to you?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Well, it can mean a number of things.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. There is no indication on the front of the card to
indicate that the applicant was in the office at that time. It can be
that someone started an entry and never completed it, and I am sorry, I
just don't know.
Mr. JENNER. Okay, let's get to the next line.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Under "called"--the change of the year is indicated by
1963 having been written.
Mr. JENNER. Let's----
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Under that is May 3 and the letter "M" which indicates
a call in by mail. We use a form.
Mr. JENNER. Does that mean the applicant called in?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. That means the agency called him in by mail?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, just as the 10-26-62 "TM" meant telephone message.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. There is no entry under "referred". Under
"Employer--Agency" is Texas Power & Light Co. The job title or
purpose is "Meter reader." The duration is permanent, the pay is
$250. A runover item in the "Results" column is an E-19. That is one
of our form numbers which the employment service uses to inform the
unemployment compensation office that an applicant who is a claimant
was called but did not report or did not accept--or at any rate appears
not to be available for referral to jobs.
Mr. JENNER. Could it be that there was no response to the mail notice?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir; it does mean that because there is no entry
in the referred column, you see.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
