United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. BROOKS. This evidently--I wouldn't want to swear to this.
Mr. JENNER. You aren't certain? Go ahead, but you say you aren't
certain?
Mr. BROOKS. I know that he was referred to me, and that is all. I was
the one that changed his occupation code.
Mr. JENNER. Would you explain that?
Mr. BROOKS. We assign an occupational code to our applicants, and these
occupational codes refer to specific work, whether it is a trainee job
or a semiskilled job or skilled job. And he had a previous code, I
don't know what it is now, but this 1-X4.9.
Mr. JENNER. Now that is written in whose handwriting?
Mr. BROOKS. That is not my handwriting.
Mr. JENNER. That looks like Mrs. Cunningham's. I think I can tell you
that is Mrs. Cunningham's writing. That was an assignment of code made
by whom?
Mr. BROOKS. I don't recognize her number. It was made by someone else
other than me, actually. I had thought I gave him a code number but
that is not my handwriting there. I am not sure about what code, I know
I put him in the other office, which was our clerical.
Mr. JENNER. After interviewing him you determined he should be
classified in the clerical?
Mr. BROOKS. Yes, sir; because he was interested.
Mr. JENNER. And not classified in the industrial division?
Mr. BROOKS. Yes; this was because of interests, primarily?
Mr. JENNER. Whose interests, his?
Mr. BROOKS. Yes; his interests.
Mr. JENNER. Did you determine his interests after you had examined
him and your judgment as to where best he might be able to obtain
employment, having in mind those interests?
Mr. BROOKS. Was not in the industrial office; yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Did he express an aversion to factory work?
Mr. BROOKS. I can't tell you the words, but I got this general
impression, as far as I remember; yes, sir; and he did not want to
do factory work. Of course, we try to place an individual where he
wants--will be exposed to his job.
Mr. JENNER. Do you have any recollection of who put on that same side
of the folded card, the face, "Lee Oswald, 2515 West Fifth Street,
Irving, Tex."?
Mr. BROOKS. Right here, this Lee Oswald is, as far as I can tell,
my handwriting, his name. 2515 West Fifth Street is someone else's
handwriting. Just like Irving, Tex. Blackburn 3-1628 is somebody else's
handwriting. 433-54-3937.
Mr. JENNER. That is the social security number?
Mr. BROOKS. Yes; as far as I can determine. This carbon makes it
a little difficult. And the service date, and this where it says
none, referring to driver's license. And car, no. Those two are my
handwriting, I am sure.
Mr. JENNER. Could I stop you there. The word "none," opposite or to the
left of the word, "license," before which there also appears a square,
directing your attention to that, is that "none," in your handwriting?
Mr. BROOKS. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. What does that signify?
Mr. BROOKS. That he didn't have a driver's license.
Mr. JENNER. That he didn't have a driver's license?
Mr. BROOKS. Yes.
