Mr. THORNLEY. Well, not formally. I have devoted myself to a lot of exercises in writing, and I have availed myself of the help of any experts I could grab onto, including successful novelists and former newspaper reporters and so on and so forth, to help me solve problems in my writing and improve it, but there is really, to my mind, my outlook on writing a novel; for example, there is not much you can learn from a formal course in writing. I think you can learn much more from, say, the study of linguistics or semantics; if you are going to learn anything from a university, for example, on writing, and this I intend to do in due time. Mr. JENNER. We occasionally have been off the record, not often, and I have talked with you on the telephone. Is there anything that was said between us in the course of our telephone conversations or in any off-the-record discussions that you think is pertinent to the Commission's assignment of investigating the assassination of President Kennedy that I have failed to bring onto the record? Mr. THORNLEY. No, sir; I think we have very thoroughly covered it. Mr. JENNER. Is there anything that occurs to you that you would like to add that you think might be pertinent to our inquiry and of help to the Commission? Mr. THORNLEY. No; there is certainly nothing else I can think of. Mr. JENNER. Your deposition will be written up rather promptly. We probably will have it tomorrow, and would you be good enough to call me, say--when do you go on duty? Mr. THORNLEY. At 5 o'clock. Mr. JENNER. Call me in the forenoon--I mean right after lunch--and if it is convenient will you come in and read over your deposition and sign it? Mr. THORNLEY. All right. May I just, to make absolutely sure, may I take down your phone number once more? AFFIDAVIT OF GEORGE B. CHURCH, JR. The following affidavit was executed by George B. Church, Jr. on June 27, 1964.

Marion Lykes which departed New Orleans, Louisiana for LeHavre, France, on or about September 20, 1959. This vessel was a freighter with accommodations for 12 passengers assigned two to a room. On this particular trip, there were but four passengers aboard. One of them was Lee Harvey Oswald, who shared a state room with an individual named Billy Joe Lord. The trip from New Orleans, Louisiana, terminated at LeHavre, France. The entire trip was approximately 16 days. 3. Before this trip, I had never before seen nor heard of Lee Harvey Oswald.
