Mr. Stern. And as far as you know, there was no earlier investigation of Lee Harvey Oswald as such; is that correct?
Mr. Fain. I believe that is correct.
Mr. Stern. I am just asking you of your own knowledge.
Mr. Fain. That is right.
Mr. Stern. You say this was a background investigation. What do you mean by that, Mr. Fain?
Mr. Fain. Well, we always ascertain his correct name and aliases, and residences, where he previously lived, his employment, his citizenship status, his nationality background, his education, his military record, whether or not he had any relatives, close relatives, in the Armed Forces; and we get a physical description of him, identification record, and where possible we always get a photograph; and his mother furnished a copy of the photograph to us on April 28, 1960.
Mr. Stern. On the first page of the report, the initial "C" appears after the synopsis. What does that mean, Mr. Fain?
Mr. Fain. That means closed.
Mr. Stern. What does that indicate to you in terms of the investigation?
Mr. Fain. Well, it indicated that we obtained the information concerning this person, to identify him, as to who he was, something about him, about his background; it appearing there was no further need for investigation at that time, we closed the case.
