United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. BROOKS. Yes, sir; that is my signature.
Mr. JENNER. It says interviewer. Where it says interviewer, there is a
signature on the card opposite the word interviewer, and that signature
in longhand is Don Brooks, and that is the witness' signature. There
appears below that signature, the word "Cunningham." She was in
yesterday. That is a fellow counselor, also?
Mr. BROOKS. Yes, sir; in the clerical and professional office.
Mr. JENNER. Professional and clerical?
Mr. BROOKS. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Can you explain to us the coincidence of each of you having
signed that form?
Mr. BROOKS. Probably because this card was transferred over to the
other office, actually.
Mr. JENNER. From your office back over to Mrs. Cunningham?
Mr. BROOKS. And she signed below because--I wouldn't swear to this but
evidently she made some more comments in here.
Mr. JENNER. When an interview is held, do you interviewers make
notations on this card?
Mr. BROOKS. What sort of notations?
Mr. JENNER. The sort of notations that appear on the card now?
Mr. BROOKS. Sure. We give applicant's characteristics usually, and then
if there is any special information, we put it in on condition that it
might affect employment.
Mr. JENNER. Is any of that writing that appears above your signature
yours?
Mr. BROOKS. No, sir; I can't see any of my writing.
Mr. JENNER. Now examine--examining the bottom half of that application
(Cunningham Exhibit No. 1), is there any writing of yours on it?
Mr. BROOKS. No, sir; I don't recognize any of my writing on this at
all in this section, where we send them out on the job. This is where
usually the placement interviewer sends them on.
Mr. JENNER. You are not a placement interviewer?
Mr. BROOKS. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. You are a counselor. So that on the inside of the card when
folded, there is nothing in your handwriting on that card other than
your signature, is that correct?
Mr. BROOKS. That is all I see, sir. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Now would you turn the exhibit over. Would that be the top
portion when folded that you are now looking at?
Mr. BROOKS. Yes; this is the face.
Mr. JENNER. Now on the face, which is the bottom half of the exhibit,
is there any handwriting of yours?
Mr. BROOKS. Yes, sir; I see some. Looks like up in the left corner: I
see high school, 8 years in the area. Service dates also. Also a date
over here, 10-9-62.
Mr. JENNER. 10-9-62?
Mr. BROOKS. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. What does that indicate?
Mr. BROOKS. That means that he was in on that date, October 9, 1962.
Mr. JENNER. And that you interviewed him?
Mr. BROOKS. Me; yes.
Mr. JENNER. These notations that you have now identified, was that
information he furnished you on that occasion?
Mr. BROOKS. Yes; this is usually the primary interview. First day,
actually.
Mr. JENNER. Now does this refresh your recollection as to what occurred
after the interview of October 9, as to whether you had further contact
with him, for example?
