Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember any other conversations that you and Oswald had about rifles or weapons?

Mr. Alba. None other than he asking permission to borrow some magazines from time to time. And as far as I knew, they were all returned.

Mr. Liebeler. What kind of magazines were these?

Mr. Alba. Outdoor Life and Field and Stream, Argosy, and hunting and fishing magazines, and National Rifle Association magazines. And guns and ammo magazines.

Mr. Liebeler. Did he ever have discussions with you about the relative merits of a small calibre as opposed to large calibre bullets?

Mr. Alba. None.

Mr. Liebeler. You are very clear about that in your mind?

Mr. Alba. We discussed the wounding effect of combat guns of the small calibre versus the large calibres, yes.

Mr. Liebeler. What was that discussion?

Mr. Alba. Well, the small calibre in the field would tend to disable a man and require two men to cart him off, versus the larger calibre which would knock out a man permanently.
