Mr. Jenner. Now, during your service in the Marines, did you become acquainted with a man—fellow marine, known as Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. Powers. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And do you recall him now?

Mr. Jenner. When did you—when did that acquaintance first arise?
Mr. Powers. To the best of my recollection, this acquaintance first arose when I was en route to Jacksonville—rather from Jacksonville, Fla., to Biloxi, Miss.; attended school there, and he was a member of the group that was—we were traveling together, and was a senior marine in charge.
Mr. Jenner. Were you the senior marine in charge?
Mr. Powers. That's correct.
