Mr. Liebeler. You didn't go through any of these magazines that Oswald had looked at after the assassination and prior to the time that the FBI and the Secret Service had removed them from your office, is that correct?
Mr. Alba. None other than my most current issues that I had recently received in the mail, such as the National Rifle magazine or "Guns and Ammo" edition——
Mr. Liebeler. Those magazines wouldn't have been at Lee Oswald's disposal because they would have come in after the time he had been there?
Mr. Alba. That is correct.
Mr. Liebeler. Can you tell whether or not the magazines that Oswald read, or borrowed and read and returned, were still there in the garage at the time of the assassination, or at the time the FBI came and took the magazines from you?
Mr. Alba. Lee Oswald borrowed the magazines and requested permission to take one or two off at a time, and kept them anywhere from 3 days to a week, and would make the point of letting me know that he was returning them. And then a few days later he would ask that he borrow another magazine or two magazines. I would say that there were anywhere from three to five definite occasions I do remember of Lee Oswald asking to take this and that magazine and letting me know that he returned the magazines.
Mr. Liebeler. So as far as you know there was nobody else that would have removed them from your office, and they would have stayed there after Oswald brought them back?
Mr. Alba. Some of them do disappear from time to time.
Mr. Liebeler. And you have no way of knowing whether all the ones that Oswald looked at were in your office when the FBI and the Secret Service came and picked them up?
Mr. Alba. No.
