Mr. Ofstein. Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner. Did you become acquainted with Lee Harvey Oswald at any time during his lifetime?

Mr. Ofstein. Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner. Here in Dallas?

Mr. Ofstein. Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner. Start at the very beginning, and in your own words tell the circumstances under which that acquaintance arose.

Mr. Ofstein. Well; it was when he became employed by Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall as a cameraman trainee and he was in the same department I was and due to the fact that I had worked there and knew a little bit about the job, I was—as well as everyone else down there—expected to help him and more or less—not supervise, but kind of keep my eye on him and help him along.

Mr. Jenner. What is your age, by the way?

Mr. Ofstein. I am 24.

Mr. Jenner. You were born in 1940?
