(Discussion off the record.)
Mr. Jenner. Back on the record.
Mr. McKenzie. I believe, to my best recollection, that the school age—commencement age was 7 years old.
Mr. Dulles. I think what we are trying to get at is what was Lee doing—was he with the mother, was he in some kind of kindergarten?
Do you recall during those 3 years you were in the military academy—where was Lee?
Representative Ford. When you say the school age, in Texas, you mean the mandatory attendance age?
Mr. Jaworski. That is correct.
Mr. McKenzie. Yes, that is what I have reference to.
Mr. Jaworski. I recall, if I may add, at the age of 6, children were normally sent to kindergarten in those days.
Mr. Jenner. As you have now related it to us, Mr. Oswald, in this period, let's call it the military school period because we have identified the time question—at the commencement Lee was then 6 years old. And as we now learn, normally that would be a kindergarten period.
