Mr. Jenner. Yes.
Mr. Oswald. I believe I pointed out to him at that time that this was something I was aware of when I accepted the job at Convair in Fort Worth, Texas. It was a condition, perhaps an unspoken condition, because it was a government job in that when I was laid off, I did not have to go only to the government to look for employment but I was able to secure the type of employment that I was most interested in at that time or that he had a variety to choose from and that no one would say to me that, "You work here or there."
Mr. Jenner. Did you experience any bitterness in being laid off at Convair?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Resentful?
Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not.
Mr. Jenner. What was your reaction?
Mr. Oswald. My reaction since I have been laid off at Convair and when I was laid off at Convair I felt like it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Mr. Jenner. When did that event take place?
Mr. Oswald. In August, 1957, sir.
