United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Under the remarks are the letters "NR" which means
"nonreport"--just what you were asking, and there is a repetition, if I
am reading it correctly, of E-19, which is the same entry we just spoke
of and the date----
Mr. JENNER. One, which is a similar entry meaning the same thing as the
previous one?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Which is a duplicate entry--E-19?
Mr. JENNER. I wanted to make clear that you weren't merely reading the
same entry you read before.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. No, sir; on the same line is written the date 5-8-63,
which is 5 days subsequent to when the card was mailed, wasn't it?
Mr. JENNER. What was the date--May 8, 1963?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. And then in parentheses are written the words
"Moved--left no address" and there are two initials there that I cannot
decipher.
Mr. JENNER. I don't think I need to ask you to interpret that.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. All right.
Mr. JENNER. Is there another line?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Under the word "Called" is 10-7-63--TM, indicating a
telephone message under the column headed "Referred" is 10-8-63.
Employer-agency--I read--"Solid State Electric; job title or
purpose--sales clerk; duration--permanent; pay--$350 a month; under
"Results"--"NH"--meaning, "Not hired."
Under "Remarks" is printed the word "direct," which I interpret to mean
that our staff member did not make an appointment for the applicant but
asked him to go directly to see the employer.
Mr. JENNER. The "not hired" entry indicates what to you as to whether
the employer rejected the applicant or whether the applicant declined
their employment or any other reason. What did that indicate to you in
this area?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Ordinarily it means that the employer rejected the
applicant and I am seeing that there was an erasure in this "NH" which
looks as if it could have been "ARJ".
Mr. JENNER. What does that mean?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. That means "Applicant rejected job," and frequently
these kind of changes are usual happenings with us because we can
always call an employer and check too quickly and he will say one
thing, or if you talk to another person in staff they will say, "No;
we didn't hire him." Can you see how that would happen, sir?
Mr. JENNER. Yes; that combination with the erasure leads you to
interpret that, that while there was initially a report that the
applicant refused the job, on a further check it was ascertained that
he was not hired, meaning that the prospective employer did not hire
the applicant, rather than that the applicant rejected the position?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Is there another entry?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. I think I got into the column under "Remarks" and had
explained the word "Direct" before.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. I'm sorry--I cannot read the entry under the word
"Direct." I can read the initials "RLA", who is our Mr. Robert Adams.
Mr. JENNER. That is the man I examined this morning?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes.
