United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. STEELE. As to the date I couldn't say, but that's the date they
took films of me passing out leaflets.
Mr. JENNER. On Canal Street?
Mr. STEELE. Well, not on Canal Street; it was in front of the Trade
Mart Building.
Mr. JENNER. What street is the Trade Mart Building on?
Mr. STEELE. Well, I don't know the street offhand. I know where it is.
I have been there many times for different things; it's down the street
from Canal Street, just one block.
Mr. JENNER. You say you have been there many times?
Mr. STEELE. Yes; buying wholesale stuff for my father, and all.
Mr. JENNER. How did you become involved in that passing out literature
business?
Mr. STEELE. Well, she had to take this test for the school board
building.
Mr. JENNER. She did?
Mr. STEELE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. You are talking about Charlene Stouff?
Mr. STEELE. That's right.
Mr. JENNER. For what purpose did she have to take this test?
Mr. STEELE. Applying for a job.
Mr. JENNER. What kind of a job?
Mr. STEELE. Secretary of some sort; I don't know exactly what job that
was to be.
Mr. JENNER. And you accompanied her?
Mr. STEELE. Well, she asked me if I would drive her down there, and I
drove her down.
Mr. JENNER. Was this the U.S. Employment Service?
Mr. STEELE. I couldn't say. It's the one on Canal Street, approximately
in the 500 block, I think.
Mr. JENNER. All right, proceed; tell me all about it, what happened,
and everything.
Mr. STEELE. To tell you the truth, I never thought any more about it
until Mr. Rice came to see me, but I was just sitting around there
and had about an hour to kill more or less. I was there a good while
waiting for her.
Mr. JENNER. You were waiting for her to take the test?
Mr. STEELE. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. All right, what happened?
Mr. STEELE. This gentleman came up and introduced himself to me.
Mr. JENNER. What did he look like?
Mr. STEELE. It was Oswald, he turned out to be. He introduced himself
and asked me if I would like to make a couple of dollars.
Mr. JENNER. Did he introduce himself as Lee Harvey Oswald?
