Mr. Donovan. Means absolutely nothing to me.
Mr. Ely. Cupenak does not even sound like any name that means anything to you?
Mr. Donovan. Yes, I knew a Lieutenant John Cuaka. C-u-a-k-a. That spelling is strictly phonetic.
Mr. Ely. Was he at Santa Ana at that time?
Mr. Donovan. I do not believe he was. I knew him in the Philippines and in Japan. He was a radar maintenance officer that generally served with a GCA, standing for Ground Control Approach unit. But Cupenak doesn't ring a bell at all.
Mr. Ely. Finally, Mr. Donovan, I would like to get your opinion on which of the men who were at Santa Ana at the time that both you and Oswald were there would be most helpful to us in reconstructing the personality of Oswald. I will mention the names that I have to you, and see whether you think——
Mr. Donovan. You mean which in the plural or singular? You want me to say which would be most——
Mr. Ely. I will read the names to you, and you can comment on them individually.
Do you remember a man named Thornley?
Mr. Donovan. I don't recall the name at all.
