United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. That means that Robert Adams handled that particular item?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir; and that he saw the applicant on that day
and gave the referral.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. In the next line under the word "Called" is a
dash, which indicates that the applicant was not called in, but
probably appeared at the office and was routed back to the placement
interviewer, and the date is the next day--10-9-63; "Employer agency is
Burton-Dixie"; job title or purpose is "Clerk Trainee"; the duration
is permanent; the pay is $1.25, the results are "NH", which means "not
hired."
Under "Remarks" is "direct" and the initials RLA which is our Mr. Bob
Adams.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Under "Called"--10-15, with a "T," which means
that he was called by telephone, under "Referred" is 10-15,
which would indicate that he reported the same day, and under
"Employer-agency--Trans-Texas"; under "Job Title or Purpose--cargo
handler"; under "Duration" is "P"--under "Pay" is $310.
Mr. JENNER. That's a month?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir; "result" is "NR".
Mr. JENNER. What do you mean by that?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. "Nonreport."
Mr. JENNER. That in turn means what?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. That the applicant accepted the referral, led the
placement interviewer to assume that he would see the employer,
and that when the placement interviewer checked with the employer,
he reported to him that the applicant had not reported. Under
"Remarks"--working--I think it is 10:30 a.m., 10-16. There is no
indication of where working.
Mr. JENNER. Are there any initials there?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. "RLA."
Mr. JENNER. That's the same Mr. Adams?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. That would indicate that when that reference was made, it
was found that Mr. Oswald was already working somewhere else?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir; it would indicate that Mr. Adams very likely
checked the following day in some fashion or it could be that Oswald
called Mr. Adams and reported that he was working.
Mr. JENNER. This reference was made on what day, according to that
record?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Are you using the word "reference" as we use the word
"referral," sir?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. 10-15.
Mr. JENNER. And then there is an indication that Mr. Adams made a check
on that reference the following day or the same day?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. I am uncertain which it is referring to, whether he
left the entry there--let me go back--"NR" that he called the employer
on the 16th and recorded the "NR," or whether there was a conversation
between him and Oswald on 16th, from where he got the information he
was working--I do not know whether he ever worked at Trans-Texas from
this.
Mr. JENNER. Does this complete the entries under that section of the
form?
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Now, give me your impression of Lee Harvey Oswald, as you
recall him, doing your best to transport yourself back to the time that
you had contact with him.
