Mr. Rankin. I hand you Exhibit 9 and ask you if you recall having seen that before?
Mr. Lee. It seems like there should be a letter to go with it. I believe that each of the things that I turned in, where it was available, there was an envelope with the letter. I don't recall that I turned in any isolated envelope that wasn't with a letter.
Mr. Faulkner. This has a postmark, New Orleans, 4 Aug. 1963.
Mr. Rankin. I might ask you, Mr. Lee, if that envelope, Exhibit 9, might be connected with the Exhibit 5.
Mr. Lee. Well, now, it's possible. The letter is dated August 1, and the thing is postmarked PM, August 4. I assume—it looks very much like it would fit in there, the envelope and paper match up, and there is no difference in the ink, the pen used, from what I can see. I do remember specifically that when I turned over the material to the Federal agents I did—I don't recall at any time having a loose envelope, it was with one of the letters.
Mr. Rankin. It is apparently closer to any of the letters timewise.
Mr. Lee. It is very likely that it goes with this letter, and from my own experience there is a date discrepancy of a couple of days there, but I have carried a letter around in my pocket for a couple of days, too, and I can very well assume that somebody else would do the same.
Mr. Rankin. On the back of Exhibit 7 there is a penciled number. Does that have anything to do with your organization?
Mr. Lee. I haven't the faintest idea what this thing is, sir. There is one on here too. I have never seen this before. It is certainly not my hand on these things, and I very much—in fact I am pretty positive that this material has been added to these letters since I turned these things into the Federal agents. It is probably a filing code number or something or other used by the Federal agents.
Mr. Rankin. The FBI, yes.
