(Testimony of Mrs. Helen P. Cunningham)

Mr. Jenner.
That is, they had a child and the child was the offspring of this marriage?
Mrs. Cunningham.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
All right. Go ahead.
Mrs. Cunningham.
I cannot be certain whether I gave an appointment at that time or not, or simply said, "Well ask him to come in and see me"; that would, be normal procedure, or usually we look up any records that we may already have, you see, sir, and if you will excuse me, I will see what I have on some little scratch notes here when Mr. Odum of the FBI called me from the district office.
Mr. Jenner.
You use anything you wish to refresh your recollection.
Mrs. Cunningham.
All right, sir. I am uncertain whether the 10-9-62 dating on this application form is my handwriting or not. I know, that the 10-10-62 is.
Mr. Jenner.
That's October 10, 1962?
Mrs. Cunningham.
Yes, sir--that is my dating of the application card and I would suspect that that was the first day on which I saw him, but I could have seen him on the 9th.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mrs. Cunningham.
Part of the application appears to be in Lee Harvey Oswald's own handwriting or printing.
Mr. Jenner.
Was this application filled out in your presence?
Mrs. Cunningham.
That, I cannot recall, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Was it filled out as part of your interview that you then conducted?
Mrs. Cunningham.
That would depend whether I saw him on the 9th and the 10th, also, and I cannot be sure of that at this time.
Mr. Jenner.
Does it indicate that the form at least was commenced to be filled out on the 9th, and that in any event, most of the information thereon was recorded on the 9th and the 10th of October 1962?
Mrs. Cunningham.
Or thereabout, because our practice is--if we have a current date that we did not redate every day-- the individual is in---on the application form, you see.
Mr. Jenner.
Would it indicate at least reasonable certainty in your own mind that he was in your own office on the 10th day of October 1962?
Mrs. Cunningham.
Yes, sir; and that I talked with him.
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mrs. Cunningham.
The greater part of the information concerning his reputation and training is in my handwriting.
Mr. Jenner.
And that would indicate that you obtained that from him when you interviewed him on the 10th of October 1962?
Mrs. Cunningham.
Yes; it also indicates that I used one of our counseling tools, an interest checklist.
Mr. Jenner.
Explain what that is.
Mrs. Cunningham.
It is a form which asks for quick decisions about a person's interests, like or dislike or question about sample jobs or work and it is the relationship of the individual's interest to groups of jobs. It would further indicate that on the 10th of October in 1962, I learned from him that he had taken our general aptitude test battery in the Fort Worth office.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, your general aptitude test battery is something distinct from the short form of test you just a moment ago mentioned, is it?
Mrs. Cunningham.
Yes, sir; it is a correlated tool--the interest check list delves into interest. The general aptitude tests battery is a measure of aptitude.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, would you tell me what the results of the inquiries as to the interests tests were?
Mrs. Cunningham.
There is no indication on this form, and I would not have detailed recollection of it, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you have any kind of recollection, detailed or otherwise?
Mrs. Cunningham.
To tell you the truth, unless I saw it--I saw I.C.L. here---I would have been uncertain whether I used this counseling tool.
Mr. Jenner.
Mrs. Cunningham, this is Mr. Robert Davis of the attorney general's office of the State of Texas.
Mr. Davis.
Thank you so much for coming today, Mrs. Cunningham.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you have any recollection of the subject of his interest tests?
