Mr. Adams. No, sir; I couldn't say that I positively do. If the record says I did, I did.
Mr. Jenner. Then, I take it, that a record of the transaction was made?
Mr. Adams. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. If it occurred?
Mr. Adams. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. And you have no recollection independent of that record?
Mr. Adams. No, sir—if I might clarify that, sir, by saying that in the case of an applicant with whom one has repeated dealings, whether good or bad, these would stick. Otherwise, one talks to anywhere to 10 to 30 applicants a day, day in and day out, personally and by telephone and with the exception of those applicants with whom I have had extensive dealings either because they are problem cases or because they are really outstanding good applicants, I don't remember that. If confronted by one, I could be able to say, "Yes; I have talked to that man," but otherwise I couldn't.
Mr. Jenner. You apparently indicated to Mr. Odum, a reference on your part on October 8, to Solid State Electronics Co. of Texas, do you recall referring him to the Solid State Electronics Co. on or about the 8th of October 1963?
Mr. Adams. I can recall having had that order because it was unusual in the sense that I had not dealt with an order of that type before from a company engaged in the sale of electronics parts who wanted an individual who had had some knowledge of electronics or electronics parts. Presumably, if I referred to—Mr. Oswald, it was because his military or civilian background indicated he had had training in this field.
Mr. Jenner. Do you recall any more about that incident?
