Mr. Delgado. No; but I told them that Oswald was transferred. The only transfer that occurred was Oswald to my hut, and that I put in for a transfer, and transfer was waiting to be approved for an NCO to be bumped into my hut, but it never got approved. I guess things came up, and about 2 or 3 weeks later I went on leave.
Mr. Liebeler. When you came back from leave, Oswald was gone?
Mr. Delgado. Yes. Prior to my leaving I knew he was putting in for a hardship discharge because he had gone to see the old man and so forth and so on, but, like I say, it usually took so long time to get a hardship discharge, too.
Mr. Liebeler. So you and Oswald were actually quartered in the same quonset hut up to the time Oswald was discharged?
Mr. Delgado. Up to the time I went on leave.
Mr. Liebeler. And when you came back Oswald was gone?
Mr. Delgado. Right.
Mr. Liebeler. You never saw him after that?
Mr. Delgado. No.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Oswald say anything to you while you were in the Marines together about going to Russia?
