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. Now, on the last two dates that he filed a claim--10-3-63
and 10-10-63, the symbol changes to C.C., which indicates "Continued
Claim," which in turn indicates that it is an intrastate claim. In
other words, he is now filing in Texas against Texas.
Mr. JENNER. Now, if he had not exhausted his interstate claim, that is
the amount due him, and he returned to Dallas----
Mr. STATMAN. He didn't exhaust his interstate claim--you know, once you
set up a claim, that's all the money you get, regardless of which State
you are in. He just happened to return to the State in which he had
earned his wage credits, so his claim reverted from an interstate claim
to an intrastate only due to geographical location, not due to any
monetary consideration.
Mr. JENNER. Then, the explanation is--although the classifications
changed from interstate to intrastate, it was the same claim.
Mr. STATMAN. Right--it was the same claim, it's just a matter of
changing geographical locations.
Mr. JENNER. Of the claimant?
Mr. STATMAN. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Back to the State of Texas?
Mr. STATMAN. Back to the State of Texas. You see, he could have started
his claim in Texas and moved to New Orleans and that would have gone
from an intrastate claim to an interstate claim. I had trouble with
that FBI man on that.
Mr. JENNER. You did?
Mr. STATMAN. Well, I mean, it can be confusing, because each State
has their own set of regulations, and actually, we have an interstate
unit in Austin that pays claims from people outside of Texas who are
filing against Texas, and we also have interstate claims the other way.
We have people who have earned their wage credits in New York and are
living here in Dallas, so, when they file a claim, they are filing an
interstate claim against New York. You see, what has happened, this
originated--this interstate claim filed against Texas, and when he
returned to Texas it became an intrastate.
Mr. JENNER. Does that cover that side of the card?
Mr. STATMAN. That covers everything. So, according to this, it would
indicate that he filed, now, you notice he had no signatures here. We
have these individuals, when they come to our office, sign their names
once, because they sign their individual cards, and we want to compare
their each weekly signature with a card here to make sure that the
person who is signing this claim for unemployment insurance is the one
that filed the card.
Mr. JENNER. Whose signature appears on the inside of the card when
folded?
Mr. STATMAN. Right; you see, here we had not his signature because he
was in New Orleans.
Mr. JENNER. Now, when you say "here" you are referring to lines 1
through 12, isn't that correct?
Mr. STATMAN. 1 through 13. In other words, in the space for remarks, 1
through 13, his signature does not appear.
Mr. JENNER. If he were here in Texas when those claims were made, his
signature would appear on each of those lines?
Mr. STATMAN. No; just one time.
Mr. JENNER. At the top--meaning line 1?
