Mr. JENNER. What do you know of them?
Mr. PIC. Her father died; I never met the man while we were going
together. Her mother and father were separated. Her mother was born in
Hungary, I think. Her father was also, sir.
Mr. JENNER. What do you understand as to when they came to this country?
Mr. PIC. I have never inquired. It has probably been mentioned but I
have forgotten.
Mr. JENNER. Was it your impression they had been here a good many years?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir; they have seven children. The eldest being in her
forties, I am pretty sure.
Mr. JENNER. I see. When you met your wife she was living with her
mother?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Where?
Mr. PIC. 325 East 92d Street, New York City.
Mr. JENNER. And you were at that time in the service?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir; U.S. Coast Guard, assigned to U.S. Coast Guard
Cutter _Rockaway_.
Mr. JENNER. How old is Mrs. Pic?
Mr. PIC. Thirty, sir. She turned 30 the 21st of December.
Mr. JENNER. Of 1963?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. She was born December 21, 1933?
Mr. PIC. It may be 22, sir; I never remember. I am giving sworn
testimony, I don't want to lie about my wife's birthday; it is either
the 21st or 22d, I am pretty sure it is the 21st.
Mr. JENNER. You are stationed where at present?
Mr. PIC. I am attached to Wilford Hall, USAF Hospital, Lackland Air
Force Base, San Antonio, Tex.
Mr. JENNER. Do you--what is your particular assignment?
Mr. PIC. I am NCOIC, Special Procedures Branch, Department of
Pathology, Wilford Hall Hospital. I have had this job since the 10th of
February this year, and my other ones, I had another job when I talked
to the Secret Service if you would be interested in that.
Mr. JENNER. How long have you been at Lackland?
Mr. PIC. I have been there since August 1962, sir.
Mr. JENNER. My information is you were born in New Orleans on January
17, 1932?
Mr. PIC. That is correct, sir.
Mr. JENNER. You entered the Coast Guard.
Mr. PIC. It was either 25 or 26 January 1950, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And you were then 18 years of age?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And that was where?
Mr. PIC. I processed my enlistment in Fort Worth. I was sworn into the
Coast Guard in Dallas, Tex.
Mr. JENNER. I think it might be well if we had your service history
all in one spot so you go ahead and for my benefit speak a little more
slowly so I can absorb it.
