Mr. Powers. I can't say truthfully if we ran into him or not.
Mr. Jenner. And El Toro is the Marine station——
Mr. Powers. That's correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner. What was your reporting date at El Toro?
Mr. Powers. My reporting date at El Toro was 2400, 12 July 1957.
Mr. Jenner. Do you have any recollection of what Oswald did during the intervening period, that is, this leave period?
Mr. Powers. No; I do not. Except possibly there was something that was stuck in my mind: we were on the ship going overseas, he mentioned Texas and his mother. That's all that I can recollect.
Mr. Jenner. So that he might have visited his mother in Texas?
Mr. Powers. It stays in my mind of Texas and his mother. Whether this is truly true or not, it sticks there. And what the relationship was, I don't know, or if he did visit her or when, I'm not sure. I think I was under the opinion that he was from Texas. He used to say—I want to say Dallas, but I'm not sure again if that is planted——
Mr. Jenner. Fort Worth?
