Mr. Rankin. 1963?
Mr. Lee. 1963, yes. I am not positive. I am pretty sure it was somewhere around that time.
Mr. Rankin. Was that search made by you personally?
Mr. Lee. Yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin. Was it a thorough and complete search?
Mr. Lee. Well, I went through every scrap of paper down to the last little scrap behind the desk and under radiators and in cabinets and in drawers and under desk blotters and every possible conceivable place any piece of paper might have been stored or fallen to and laid down or anything else.
Mr. Rankin. So you are satisfied——
Mr. Lee. As far as I know I went through every—to the best of my knowledge I went through everything I could find and everything that I found I turned over to the agents afterwards, after having copies made.
Mr. Rankin. Did you or anybody on behalf of your committee have any oral communications with Lee Harvey Oswald that you know of?
Mr. Lee. To my knowledge there was never any such communication. I can't ever remember ever having such communication myself. I don't know that anybody else did. Nobody that I have known has ever mentioned such a thing to me.
