Mr. Steele.

school, and then after they let me out I started to work full time. However, right now, I am waiting to go into the service.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you know a young lady by the name of Charlene Stouff?

Mr. Steele.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Is she a friend of yours?

Mr. Steele.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall an occasion when you accompanied her to the employment service office?

Mr. Steele.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

When was that?

Mr. Steele.

As to the date I couldn't say, but that's the date they took films of me passing out leaflets.

Mr. Jenner.

On Canal Street?

Mr. Steele.

Well, not on Canal Street; it was in front of the Trade Mart Building.

Mr. Jenner.

What street is the Trade Mart Building on?

Mr. Steele.

Well, I don't know the street offhand. I know where it is. I have been there many times for different things; it's down the street from Canal Street, just one block.

Mr. Jenner.

You say you have been there many times?

Mr. Steele.

Yes; buying wholesale stuff for my father, and all.

Mr. Jenner.

How did you become involved in that passing out literature business?

Mr. Steele.

Well, she had to take this test for the school board building.

Mr. Jenner.

She did?

Mr. Steele.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

You are talking about Charlene Stouff?

Mr. Steele.

That's right.

Mr. Jenner.

For what purpose did she have to take this test?

Mr. Steele.

Applying for a job.

Mr. Jenner.

What kind of a job?

Mr. Steele.

Secretary of some sort; I don't know exactly what job that was to be.

Mr. Jenner.

And you accompanied her?

Mr. Steele.

Well, she asked me if I would drive her down there, and I drove her down.

Mr. Jenner.

Was this the U.S. Employment Service?

Mr. Steele.

I couldn't say. It's the one on Canal Street, approximately in the 500 block, I think.

Mr. Jenner.

All right, proceed; tell me all about it, what happened, and everything.

Mr. Steele.

To tell you the truth, I never thought any more about it until Mr. Rice came to see me, but I was just sitting around there and had about an hour to kill more or less. I was there a good while waiting for her.

Mr. Jenner.

You were waiting for her to take the test?

Mr. Steele.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

All right, what happened?

Mr. Steele.

This gentleman came up and introduced himself to me.

Mr. Jenner.

What did he look like?

Mr. Steele.

It was Oswald, he turned out to be. He introduced himself and asked me if I would like to make a couple of dollars.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he introduce himself as Lee Harvey Oswald?

Mr. Steele.

Well, I couldn't tell you that. I presume he did, but that's only presumption on my part. I don't remember names too well; just faces, and that's about all, so then after he asked me if I would like to make some money, I asked him, "Doing what?" and he said, "Passing out these leaflets in front of the Trade Mart Building, and I said, "About how long will it take?" and he said, "About 15 or 20 minutes at the most." I figured $2 for 20 minutes, and I am going on vacation next week, that could come in handy, and so I said, "All right," that I would go over there and do it, and so in the meantime Charlene had come back. She had finished her test, and she had to go back to the school board building to see some guy that she saw before about the job, so I brought
