Mr. Semingsen.

That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

The telegram to which reference has just been made is attached to the memorandum as attachment No. 4. Your memorandum also indicates negative results when a search was made of the office in Irving, Tex., in Fort Worth, Tex, and in New Orleans, La, for money orders payable to Oswald. or to his aliases, or in the case of New Orleans for money orders sent or received by Oswald and aliases through the periods indicated in the memorandum Were these statements made in your memorandum as a result of searches made similar to that in the Dallas office, do you know?

Mr. Semingsen.

That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you personally instruct the New Orleans office to conduct the search of their records or cause such instructions to be given?

Mr. Semingsen.

The search at New Orleans with respect to received money orders was authorized by our district manager in New Orleans. Later a request was made for a similar search of sent money orders, which was referred to my office. And in this instance I authorized our New Orleans office to make the search.

Mr. Liebeler.

So, as far as you know, the search concerning received money orders was instigated by a direct request to the New Orleans office by the FBI or some other investigatory agency, is that correct?

Mr. Semingsen.

That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

I notice that the period for which a search was made in the Fort Worth office is confined to July 19, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, and 29, 1963. Can you tell me the reason for that?

Mr. Semingsen.

The request for the search for money orders payable to Oswald on those dates was made by local FBI agents in Fort Worth of our district manager there. The FBI agents requested the search because they had information to the effect that the mother of Lee Harvey Oswald was a tenant at this address during that time.

Mr. Liebeler.

Which address is that?

Mr. Semingsen.

The address was the Rotary Apartments, 1501 West Seventh Street.

Mr. Liebeler.

Fort Worth?

Mr. Semingsen.

Fort Worth.

Mr. Liebeler.

In answering the last question, you referred to a memorandum in your file from a Mr. T. R. Coates to you, is that correct?

Mr. Semingsen.

That's correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

That is dated December 9, l963; is that correct?

Mr. Semingsen.

That's correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

The memorandum indicates that a Mr. Meyers of the FBI came to the Fort Worth office of your company and requested that a check be made of the received money orders for the last 2 weekends of July to determine if a money order had been received addressed to Lee Harvey Oswald, or anyone at the address of the Rotary Apartments, 1501 West Seventh Street. Fort Worth, Tex.; is that correct?

Mr. Semingsen.

That's correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

Mr. Coates says that the FBI agent said that the FBI had information that Lee Harvey Oswald's mother was a tenant at that address during that time, and Mr. Coates also indicates that a search of the received money orders of July 19, 20, 21- 22, 26-27 and 28-29 were made, but no record was found of any having been received; is that correct?

Mr. Semingsen.

That is correct.

Mr. Liebeler.

Would it have been possible for Oswald to have received money orders at any offices in Dallas other than a Dallas main office?

Mr. Semingsen.

Yes. He could have received money orders at the branch offices.

Mr. Liebeler.

Would the records of received money orders for the offices be filed at the Dallas main office or at the Dallas branch offices?

Mr. Semingsen.

I am not certain about that, but the search of all received money orders was made covering both the main and branch offices.

Mr. Liebeler.

In Dallas?

Mr. Semingsen.

In Dallas.
