recognize him to be Lee Harvey Oswald.

      Mr. Jenner. And who is the boy appearing lower in that photograph?

      Mr. Oswald. I do not recognize him, sir.

      Mr. Jenner. This is in the upper right hand corner of Commission Exhibit 282. Appearing immediately to the left—but before I proceed to that, are you able to identify that sufficiently to indicate to us the age of your brother at the time that picture was taken?

      Mr. Oswald. I would say he was approximately 11 or 12 years old at that time.

      Mr. Jenner. And at this time he was residing where?

      Mr. Oswald. If he was 11 years old at the time the photograph was taken, he was residing in Fort Worth, Tex. If he was 12 years old, he would be residing in New York City.

      Mr. Jenner. To the left appears another photograph of a young man in a striped shirt, a striped T-shirt. Do you observe that?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I do.

      Mr. Jenner. It is apparently a blowup from a group picture. Who is that?

      Mr. Oswald. I recognize him to be my brother, Lee Harvey Oswald.

      Mr. Jenner. And do you recognize the clothing, have you seen him in that clothing before?

      Mr. Oswald. Not that I recall. The tennis shoes look familiar.

      Mr. Jenner. And are you able to make out the age of your brother at the time this picture was taken?

      Mr. Oswald. I would say approximately 10 or 11 years old.

      Mr. Jenner. So if it were at age 10, he would have been residing where?

      Mr. Oswald. In Fort Worth, Tex.

      Mr. Jenner. And you have already given the age.

      To the left of that picture is another photograph or apparently a snapshot. I notice that there are part of some persons behind the central figure. Do you recognize the figure in that photograph?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes; I do.

      Mr. Jenner. Who is it?

      Mr. Oswald. I recognize it to be Lee Harvey Oswald.

      Mr. Jenner. At what age?

      Mr. Oswald. Seven or eight years old.

      Mr. Jenner. And assuming age 7, where was he residing at that time?

      Mr. Oswald. This would be—the year when he was 7 would be 1946 or 1947. He would be residing in Fort Worth, Tex.

      Mr. Jenner. And if he were 8, he still would be residing in Fort Worth, Tex.

      Mr. Oswald. That's correct, sir.

      Mr. Jenner. To the left of that picture is a picture of—I don't know whether that is one snapshot or two.

      Mr. Oswald. It is one, sir.

      Mr. Jenner. Showing three persons, three children. Are you able to identify all three?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I am.

      Mr. Jenner. Would you please identify and give the ages?

      Mr. Oswald. Left to right, I identify myself at the age of 10.

      Mr. Jenner. With the sailor hat on?

      Mr. Oswald. With the sailor hat on, right. In the center I identify it to be Lee Harvey Oswald at the age of 5. On the far right I identify John Edward Pic at the age of 12.

      Mr. Jenner. And you boys were residing where at that time?

      Mr. Oswald. At Dallas, Tex., on Victor Street. That was taken right outside, at the side of the house.

      Mr. Jenner. Do you recall the circumstances under which the picture was taken?

      Mr. Oswald. No, sir; other than we wanted to take some pictures.

      Mr. Jenner. Your present recollection is who took the picture?

      Mr. Oswald. My mother.

      Mr. Jenner. In the background is what?

      Mr. Oswald. The house that we lived in on Victor Street.

      Mr. Jenner. There is a spread picture at the bottom of the double page. Are you familiar with the area which is shown in that picture?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I am.

      Mr. Jenner. What is that area?

      Mr. Oswald. That is on the playground of Ridglea West Elementary School.

      Mr. Jenner. And do you recognize any of the persons shown in that reproduction?

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I do.

      Mr. Jenner. Would you identify those, if any, you so recognize?

      Mr. Oswald. The only person I recognize in this photograph is this young man right here—I do not recall his name—I believe his name was Donald. He lived right around the corner from us.

      Mr. Jenner. Mr. Oswald, I hand you a brush pen. Would you indicate by an arrow the person to whom you made reference? Thank you.

      Would you do the same on the picture identified in the extreme upper right hand corner on Exhibit 282.

      Now, I notice on the spread picture at the bottom of the page, which was identified as a schoolmate, that there is to the left of that picture a picture with an imprinted arrow. Do you recognize the person to whom the arrow is pointing?

      Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not.

      Mr. Jenner. Are you able to say whether that is or is not your brother Lee?

      Mr. Oswald. No, sir; from this picture, I cannot determine if it is Lee or not.

      Mr. Jenner. Are you able to see it clearly enough to say that it is not?

      Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I am not able to see it clearly enough to make a positive statement one way or the other. It appears to be a little fuzzy.

      Mr. Jenner. Do you have an opinion as to whether it is or not?

      Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not.

      Mr. Jenner. You just do not recognize it?

      Mr. Oswald. I just do not recognize it.

      Mr. Jenner. All right.

      Now on page 68-A, which we will mark as Commission Exhibit No. 283—do you recognize that photograph depicted on that page?

      (The material referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 283 for identification.)

      Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I do.

      Mr. Jenner. Who is it?
