United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. STATMAN. Right. In other words, the test was not administered in
the Dallas office, it was administered in Fort Worth. Have I got you
confused, finally?
Mr. JENNER. No; you don't have me confused; you are doing splendidly.
You are very helpful.
Mr. STATMAN. Now, this document [Cunningham Exhibit No. 3] is a claim
document, B-3(a).
Mr. JENNER. Excuse me, may I have this described a little more for the
record?
Mr. STATMAN. Well, I want you to note that there is an original date on
there indicating a New Orleans address and then a Dallas address.
Mr. JENNER. You are going to explain that--all I'm going to do at the
moment is to identify the document for the record.
Mr. STATMAN. It is a B-3(a), Cunningham Exhibit No. 3.
Mr. JENNER. It is a document in typing opposite the printed
designation--the name is "L. H. Oswald" and to the right of that in
printing is "SS Number," which I take it is his social security number?
Mr. STATMAN. Right.
Mr. JENNER. It is 433-54-3937. In longhand above that line, I have just
read, appears P.O. Box 30061.
Mr. STATMAN. All right--now, to go on with that and also in longhand is
the Irving address, 2515 West Fifth, Irving.
Mr. JENNER. I see there are some strike-outs.
Mr. STATMAN. Right. Now, the original document was typed giving L. H.
Oswald, 757 France Street, New Orleans, La.
Mr. JENNER. Is it French?
Mr. STATMAN. France--it looks like France.
Mr. JENNER. French, F-r-e-n-c-h [spelling].
Mr. STATMAN. It looks like "a" to me.
Mr. JENNER. F-r-a-n-c-e [spelling]. We'll let Mr. Davis look at it.
Mr. DAVIS. I think it is French, F-r-e-n-c-h [spelling]. It's French in
the writing.
Mr. STATMAN. I'm talking about the typing now--the typing is "a."
Mr. DAVIS. Well, the typing is "a," but it looks like the writing is
French.
Mr. STATMAN. I was just talking about the typing. I'm just discussing
the typing with you now.
Mr. JENNER. Okay, it is 757 France Street in typing. Following that
is French Street, stricken out, that is in longhand, and above the
strike-out is 2515 West Fifth, in longhand, and below that is "Irving,
Texas."
Mr. STATMAN. The reason I am making a differentiation between that, is
that the typing of it was done in New Orleans because that is where
this document was originally issued.
Mr. JENNER. Why was it originally issued in New Orleans?
Mr. STATMAN. Because he was in New Orleans filing an interstate claim
against Texas.
Mr. JENNER. The interstate claim being a claim of an applicant who has
been residing in a State other than Texas and he is making a claim
against the State of Texas.
Mr. STATMAN. Well, it is a claim where a person has earned his wages
in one State and is filing in another State against the State in which
he has earned his wage credits. So, he has earned his wage credits in
Texas. He was filing in New Orleans against the State of Texas. That's
where this original document was made.
