Mr. Delgado. No. I went on leave and then came back.

Mr. Liebeler. Where did you go on leave?

Mr. Delgado. About in August, I think—September to October, something like that. A 15-day leave, to go to California. August or September. I think it was in the latter part of the summer. I always take that part to come into New York, but when I came back, Oz was gone.

Mr. Liebeler. Where did you go on leave: to California, or did you come back to New York?

Mr. Delgado. To New York.

Mr. Liebeler. Did you talk to the FBI just about this series of events?

Mr. Delgado. Yes.

Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember what you told them?

Mr. Delgado. I told them that I had gone on leave, and when I came back Oswald had been discharged and that then they came out with the story that he defected, I think, then, and that we all had gone under investigation.

Mr. Liebeler. Did you tell the FBI agents when you went on leave?
