I worked on the street for a while calling on businesses and more often than not I ran into people who were very dissatisfied with the commission because of previous poor service, or alleged poor service, and in the time that I have been with the commission, 2 years, I think we have striven to improve the quality of service, both to employers and to applicants and so employers do call us. Some of them have standing orders with us. Some of them use us once and they don't get what they want and that's the last we hear from them, but by the same token we hope that all people unemployed would come to us in the course of their efforts to find jobs. I think many people mistakenly assume that TEC exists to find them jobs. This is not true. TEC exists to help them find jobs and in the course of their job seeking, they, I suspect 75 percent of them, will register with TEC and with other agencies. Mr. JENNER. Other like agencies or private employment agencies? Mr. ADAMS. Private agencies and, of course, we have the continuing battle of the public versus private activities. Mr. JENNER. The scope of employment, that is the work, is of great variety, is it, the jobs that are being served? Mr. ADAMS. Yes; all the way from laborers up through doctors of philosophy in varying fields. Mr. JENNER. Do you ever seek, for example, let's use a hypothetical day--you mention a doctor of philosophy--let's say he had a Ph. D. in geology, and he came to the commission. You do not have at the moment, let us say, with respect to this hypothetical Ph. D., an inquiry from a prospective employer. Do you mean that the TEC would in that kind of an incident--a man of quite high education, would you seek a position for him by calling possible employers? Mr. ADAMS. Yes; we would do this and we refer to it either as job development or the projection of a highly qualified applicant to selected employers who might be in need of such a man. Mr. JENNER. When did you become employed by or connected with the TEC, as you call it? Mr. ADAMS. Well, I retired from the United States Air Force in January of 1960, and attempted to be a salesman for about a year and thereby losing my hat and shirt, and I decided I had misused the talents that I had mastered in the service and returned to Government service. Mr. JENNER. That was when? Mr. ADAMS. I joined TEC on March 9, 1962. Mr. JENNER. Are you a native of this area? Mr. ADAMS. No, I am a Chicagoan. Mr. JENNER. You are--so am I. I think I mentioned that. How old are you? Mr. ADAMS. I am 47, sir. Mr. JENNER. Was there an occasion when in your position with TEC you had some contact with Lee Harvey Oswald? Mr. ADAMS. Yes. Mr. JENNER. Would you relate that and give all the circumstances as you now recall, in the chronology that you recall? Mr. ADAMS. I can't, except that my memory was refreshed by my office manager subsequent to the events of November 22.
