Mr. Jenner. It is his signature?

Mr. Oswald. I would say yes, it is.

Mr. Jenner. All right.

Mr. Dulles. Is that under "Accepted"—is that first word there "John"?

Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir. And the last signature as appears on this Exhibit 279 is the signature of John M. Thorne.

Mr. Jenner. Do you know the day upon which that document was executed? It bears a date of December 5, which is a Thursday.

Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I do not.

Pardon me—the 5th day of December is the date purported—that this document was executed at. I am not familiar that it was executed on that date.

Mr. Jenner. Are you familiar with the date when it was in fact executed?

Mr. Oswald. No, sir; I am not. I might further state I was not present when this document was signed, and I was not aware of this document until Thursday, February 13th.
