(Testimony of Irving Statman)

Mr. Jenner.
We will get to that in a minute.
Mr. Statman.
I would guess that Don Brooks did this, because it is fairly consistent, I mean, you don't see a change of handwriting. Usually the applicant, if he is making the application will show a different handwriting.
Mr. Jenner.
Is Mr. Don Brooks still employed by the Commission?
Mr. Statman.
Yes. Usually, if the applicant makes the application and the interviewer completes it, you can see a change in the handwritings and you don't here. Again, I am guessing that this was prepared by Don Brooks. Now, up on the top is identifying information.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, this is up on top of the exhibit as folded in half?
Mr. Statman.
Yes, adjacent to the identifying information--there is a block--marital status, widow, single, and divorced, and he has checked "Marital status." Underneath that is a block for number of dependents, and he has indicated that he has two dependents.
Mr. Jenner.
That would indicate a wife and child?
Mr. Statman.
Not necessarily--it would just indicate he has two dependents. I couldn't say he had a wife and child-- knowing a little bit about him you could say that.
Birthday 10-15-39.
Mr. Jenner.
Is that 10-15 or 10-18-39?
Mr. Statman.
I'm sorry, you are right, it is 10-18-39. Height 5 feet 9 inches, weight, 150 pounds, education--he has listed high school with an asterisk, and the asterisk indicates he has a high school equivalent as opposed to 4 years formal education.
Now, in the block showing his test results, which refer to this general aptitude test battery and which I have a document on that, and if you want to wait, we will come to that later.
Mr. Jenner.
I do want to go into it and we will hold that off.
Mr. Statman.
That indicates--no, let's do go into this. In the general aptitude battery--you have certain cutoff scores, and these scores indicate a propensity or an aptitude in-the certain occupational areas, which are totaled by numbers.
Now, the aptitudes that he. has proficiency in or propensity in has been indicated in the test results.
Mr. Jenner.
And those in turn you will discuss in connection with another document?
Mr. Statman.
Well, you've got Helen Cunningham, who is a counselor and she can give you a lot better information on that.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mr. Statman.
Now, on the front in the date column--we do not always indicate when an individual is in, only when we see his card might become inactive, we will put it, so this doesn't necessarily mean that these are the only times he has been in, but this does indicate, as we previously stated, that he originally came in 10-9-62, he was in on 10-10-62, and he was in on 4-8-63, he was in on 4-12-63, he was in on 10-3-63. This R.I. indicates a reinterview. That means that he has been previously registered and we are reinterviewing him to bring his card up to date.
Mr. Jenner.
And the R.I. appears to the left of the entry--October 8, 1963; correct?
Mr. Statman.
Yes, sir.
Now, there is just one more bit of information on this. Is your wife employed and he indicated "no".
Now, we are turning this document on the back.
Mr. Jenner.
That is--it would be the back when folded?
Mr. Statman.
Right. Now, this is the information on the back--this is the job history, the chronological job history, including military service, and we are starting chronologically backwards, with the latest job first.
On this is indicated that he worked for Leslie Welding Co., length of job--months; date ended--10/62; rate of pay, $1.25; the duties--he has sheet metal works, and I think it says, "Made ventilators and cut sheet metal."
Mr. Jenner.
That's correct.
