Warren Commission (10 of 26): Hearings Vol. X (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. STATMAN. Well, that's true. When this FBI man came in, and I can't
think of his name--I've got his card, but I probably cleaned my nails
with it, but anyway, he came in and asked for a copy of, or the actual
documents, and we told him that we had a certain amount of documents
here and there were others in Austin, due to that interstate claim
situation, and so we gave him all of our records, and also he contacted
an FBI agent in Austin, and our Austin State office gave him some
records.
Now, in preparing these records, then, I saw the documents that we had
on him. Now, what I have with me here is a copy of his application card.
Mr. JENNER. Could I describe that on the record first?
Mr. STATMAN. Yes; I think it is an E-13, let me make sure what this
number is, and--it is his application card.
Mr. JENNER. Excuse me, sir, Mr. Statman has handed me a form
entitled--what?
Mr. STATMAN. It's an E-13--it's an E-13 application.
Mr. JENNER. Now, you have handed me two sheets.
Mr. STATMAN. Now, this represents the front.
Mr. JENNER. The top sheet I have is the front of the card and the
second sheet is the inside or reverse side?
Mr. STATMAN. No; the inside--this is a folded affair and, let me me
fold it for you properly. In other words, this is the way the card
would look.
Mr. JENNER. It's a foldover card.
Mr. STATMAN. Right--like this. Now, this is an exact replica.
Mr. JENNER. It is letter size when opened fully, and it is folded in
half.
The bottom of the top sheet reads, "Application card E-13" (1261) and
for purposes of identification of the record what would be the back of
the card when folded, but which is the top of the sheet as I hold it
in my hand, it reads, "Describe your longest and most important jobs,
including Military Service, beginning with your most recent job."
The second sheet which would form the reverse side of the card,
portions of which I have read and which in turn would be the inside
of the card when folded, has no form number on it, but it reads at
the top, "Do not write below this line," and then in the next line in
printing. "Conditions affecting employment," in the left-hand side, and
"Handicap description," on the right-hand side.
Mr. STATMAN. Do you want me to interpret on that?
Mr. JENNER. Yes; I do. [The Exhibit is Cunningham Exhibit No. 1.] Now,
this card--I will turn it now back to the front or top of the folded
card. Will you state for the record what this is and does it relate to
Lee Oswald, first?
Mr. STATMAN. This is his application card.
Mr. JENNER. Now, folding it in half, so that I understand it, as
folded in half--what now is facing us with the form number at the
bottom, would be top of the folded card. [The original card, of which
Cunningham Exhibit No. 1 is a copy, is in evidence as Cunningham
Exhibit No. 1-A.]
Mr. STATMAN. Right.
Mr. JENNER. That means that Lee Oswald had a contact with the Texas
Employment Commission and this is a record made.
