Oswald. I recognize Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Jenner. Have you seen the original of that reproduction?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I most certainly have. I might add that I wore that same baby suit.
Mr. Jenner. That is shown in that picture?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir. And John Edward did, too.
Mr. Jenner. Now, turning to pages 70 and 71, which we will have marked as Commission Exhibit 284, so far as page 70 is concerned, and page 71 marked as 285.
(The material referred to was marked respectively Commission Exhibits Nos. 284 and 285 for identification.)
Mr. Jenner. Spread across page 70 and partially on page 71 is a photograph, or a reproduction of a photograph.
Do you recognize any of the persons depicted on that spread page?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And do you recognize more than one person?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner. And which one do you recognize?
Mr. Oswald. In the foreground on the left-hand side, on page 70, I recognize that to be Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Jenner. Is that the boy with the V-shaped design on his sweater or T-shirt, with his hand on his chest?
Mr. Oswald. Yes sir; that is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Would you identify that by an arrow.
Are you able to, in looking at that—to tell at what age that was taken, and where?
Mr. Oswald. I would say approximately 14 years old. I cannot recognize the classroom there. At 14 Lee would have been——
Mr. Jenner. He was in New York City, was he not?
Mr. Oswald. 1953, yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. On page 72, which we will mark as Commission Exhibit 286, there is a photograph or reproduction of a photograph in the lower right-hand corner.
(The material referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 286 for identification.)
Mr. Jenner. Do you recognize anyone in that reproduction?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I do.
Mr. Jenner. Do you recognize both people?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner. Would you indicate the person you recognize?
Mr. Oswald. I recognize the person on the left-hand side of this photograph.
Mr. Jenner. That is the man?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir. I recognize him to be Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Jenner. At about what age?
Mr. Oswald. Since I am aware of where this picture was taken, at the age of 17.
Mr. Jenner. Would you elaborate——
Mr. Oswald. I am aware where this picture was taken. This is in Arlington Heights High School. I believe this exhibit right behind him in the background was on the third floor of Arlington Heights High School.
Mr. Jenner. And that was taken at the high school?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And he was of what age at that time?
Mr. Oswald. 17.
Mr. Jenner. Well, it is pretty clear, since there is a gentleman and a lady in this picture, the only two persons indicated, and you have identified your brother—would you still, however, put a arrow pointing to your brother. Thank you.
Turning to page 74-A, which is Commission Exhibit 287, there are two pictures reproduced in the lower right-hand corner.
(The material referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 287 for identification.)
Mr. Jenner. Do you recognize those?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I do.
Mr. Jenner. And would you state what they are?
Mr. Oswald. Both pictures are pictures of Lee Harvey Oswald.
Mr. Jenner. And he appears to be in military garb. Were those taken when he was in the Marines?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. By the way, did you see him in his service uniform at any time?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I did not.
Mr. Jenner. But you do recognize these pictures as depicting your brother?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. On pages 74 and 75 of Life Magazine, which will be Commission Exhibits 288 and 289, there is a spread picture.
(The material referred to was marked Commission Exhibit Nos. 288 and 289, respectively, for identification.)
Mr. Jenner. Do you recognize any of the persons depicted in that spread picture?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I do, but only one.
Mr. Jenner. Identify the one you recognize, and locate it in the picture.
Mr. Oswald. I recognize Lee Harvey Oswald being in the foreground of the picture, approximately in the center of the picture.
Mr. Jenner. Would you identify him with this brush pencil?
Then on Exhibit 288, which is page 74-B of this issue of Life Magazine, there appears at the bottom a reproduction of identity cards. I direct your attention to the left-hand identity card upon which appears a photograph, a reproduction of a photograph. Do you recognize that?
Mr. Oswald. I would have to say that he appears heavier, his face is fuller, he has more hair on his head, but the eyes and the nose and the mouth are Lee Harvey Oswald's. I had not studied that picture before. But he does seem to be quite fullfaced, if that is the terminology to use there, and much more hair on his head—there again in relation to the hair I am assuming here this photograph of Lee was taken after he returned from Russia.
Mr. Jenner. I would rather not have you assume anything at the moment.
Do you identify that as a reproduction of a picture of your brother?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir; I do.
Mr. Jenner. Are you acquainted with—were you at the time acquainted with the circumstances under which there was issued or purported to be issued a Selective Service System classification card in the name of Alek James Hidell?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I was not.
Mr.
