(Short recess.)
Mr. Dulles. Proceed, Mr. Jenner.
Representative Ford. It would be helpful because we are likely to get a call almost any time to go back to the House, if I could ask a few questions.
Mr. Jenner. Go right ahead.
Mr. Dulles. Okay.
Representative Ford. Mr. Oswald, what was your reaction to Lee's discharge from the Marine Corps?
Mr. Oswald. He had an honorable discharge he told me. I had no adverse reaction to it.
Mr. Jenner. Did you have in mind, Representative Ford, the change in the status of that discharge?
Representative Ford. No, I was referring to the circumstances under which he was discharged prematurely. He did get an honorable discharge at the outset but he was released prematurely on a hardship basis.
Mr. Oswald. Yes.
