Mr. Hosty. That is correct.
Mr. Stern. Would you tell us in detail what your first contact was in October?
Mr. Hosty. On October 3, 1963, I received a communication from our New Orleans office advising that Lee Oswald and his wife Marina Oswald had left the New Orleans area a short time before. According to the communication, Marina Oswald, who was at that time 8 months pregnant, had left New Orleans with her small child, 2-year-old child, in a station wagon with a Texas license plate driven by a woman who could speak the Russian language. Lee Oswald had remained behind and then disappeared the next day. I was requested to attempt to locate Lee and Marina Oswald.
Mr. Stern. Did the request come to you personally?
Mr. Hosty. To the Dallas office, and the case was then reopened to me. Dallas was an auxiliary office to New Orleans, and it was reopened. I had previously handled the case. It was reopened and assigned to me.
Mr. Stern. And by what office?
Mr. Hosty. By the Dallas office, reopened the case in Dallas.
Mr. Stern. By the supervisor?
Mr. Hosty. Supervisor of our squad, yes.
Mr. Stern. And what squad is that?
