(Testimony of Martin Isaacs)

Mr. Liebeler.
Had you heard statements in the office to the effect that Oswald had said that?
Mr. Isaacs.
Yes; that's right.
Mr. Liebeler.
You understood that Oswald had made a statement such as this to the intake worker when he came into the office?
Mr. Isaacs.
Probably he made that statement to the intake worker; yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Had you heard in the office that he had made that statement to the intake worker, or was it just conversation in the office, that Oswald----
Mr. Isaacs.
I think it was conversation, rather than anything else, as I remember it.
Mr. Liebeler.
We have obtained a file from the New York City Department of Welfare which contains certain documents relating to the Oswald case, and I would like to mark as Exhibit No. 1 on the deposition of Martin Isaacs, April 16, 1964, at New York, N.Y., a document entitled "History Sheet," consisting of eight pages, fastened together with a clip. I have initialed the first page of this exhibit, Mr. Isaacs, and I would like to have you initial it next to my initials, if you would, so that we have no confusion as to the identification of this document.
Mr. Isaacs.
Sure.
(Document entitled "History Sheet," consisting of eight pages, marked Exhibit 1.)
Mr. Liebeler.
This is, is it not, a document which was taken from the files provided by the New York City Welfare Department?
Mr. Isaacs.
This is, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you recognize it as a type of report that is prepared at a time when a client appears in your office?
Mr. Isaacs.
I do.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you recognize it as the history sheet relating to Lee Oswald?
Mr. Isaacs.
I do.
Mr. Liebeler.
I show you a single sheet which is entitled "Resource Summary" and ask you if you recognize that as a form that is usually filled out by an applicant.
Mr. Isaacs.
I do recognize this as a form that we use in the department.
Mr. Liebeler.
That particular form here appears to be a carbon, does it not?
Mr. Isaacs.
What happens is that the original goes to the resource consultant. We have a special section of the Department of Welfare that receives these forms, and if it has any material on there that warrants further investigation the resource section conducts the investigation, but in this instance, as you will note, they said no resources in each place in the form, and we just filed this in our record.
Mr. Liebeler.
The original of that would have been filed in the records of the resource consultant; is that right?
Mr. Isaacs.
I believe so, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
I will mark the single sheet entitled "Resource Summary" as Exhibit No. 2 on the deposition of Mr. Martin Isaacs, April 16, 1964, in New York, N.Y. I have initialed that document also, Mr. Isaacs, and ask that you initial it for the purposes of identification. Mr. ISAACS. Yes, sir.
(Document entitled "Resource Summary" marked Exhibit 2.)
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you recognize that particular resource sheet as the resource sheet that was filled out in connection with the Lee Oswald case?
Mr. Isaacs.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
I have marked as Exhibit No. 3 on the deposition of Mr. Martin Isaacs, April 16, 1964, in New York, N.Y., a memorandum from Lula Jean Elliott, senior welfare consultant, to Mrs. Ruscoll, supervisor of the special services welfare center, dated June 14, 1962, relating to the repatriation from the U.S.S.R. of Oswald, Lee, and family, consisting of wife and 4 months' infant. I have initialed the memorandum to which I have just referred and request that you do the same for the purposes of identification, down at the bottom.
(Witness complies.)
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you recognize this as memorandum from Miss Elliott?
Mr. Isaacs.
Lula Jean Elliott.
