If I may ask you some questions--I understand you had some contact with him or in your official capacity in the Texas Employment Commission, you in turn have people under your supervision and direction at least who had contact with him? Mr. ADAMS. Yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. You are Mr. R. L. Adams of the Texas Employment Commission, and is that located at 1025 Elm Street? Mr. ADAMS. Yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. If you would, would you state your official position with the Texas Employment Commission, please? Mr. ADAMS. I am employed as a placement interviewer. Mr. JENNER. And do you have persons under your supervision and direction? Mr. ADAMS. No; I do not. Mr. JENNER. Tell me what is the Texas Employment Commission? Mr. ADAMS. The Texas Employment Commission is the Texas version of the Federal-State Employment Service. As such, it is operated and jointly federal-state funded, and seeks to assist those people who are unemployed primarily through finding employment for them and in the event that we are unable to do so, to provide them with unemployment compensation for such time as they may be eligible. Mr. JENNER. I happen to be an Illinoian myself. I practice law in Chicago--it's tied in with the Unemployment Compensation Commission? Mr. ADAMS. Yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. And those who had suffered unemployment seek the assistance of the Texas Employment Commission to obtain for them new employment? Mr. ADAMS. Yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. How does that operate, do you--do the employers register with you or they call you up--I would like to have you give me a normal operation so that we can compare that background on normalcy against what might have occurred with respect to Lee Harvey Oswald. Mr. ADAMS. Normally, employers in all categories of business and industry will use many avenues to obtain suitable employees. One of them, hopefully used by most of them, is the Texas Employment Commission. Mr. JENNER. I said to you that my impression from the depositions we have taken is that your commission does have and is held in reasonably high regard by employers and the ones I have interviewed have indicated that they may resort to the commission rather frequently. Mr. ADAMS. I am delighted to hear it. It is a selling job--this is not your main thing, but because it is a State-Federal organization, it has been subjected to a lot of unpleasant publicity which was formerly known as the Texas Unemployment Commission, which did nothing to enhance it.
