Mr. Jenner. Marine Air Control Squadron.
Mr. Thornley. I was in MACS 4 which was right next door to MACS 9 or was at that time, on the base.
Mr. Jenner. Were you aware of his presence when you were in the other MACS?
Mr. Thornley. No; not until I came into his outfit. And only sometime after I came into that outfit did I become aware of his presence.
Mr. Jenner. Were you—I will withdraw that. Was Oswald as far as you knew on the base before you came over to his unit?
Mr. Thornley. I would assume so, but I wouldn't know for sure. I know he was recently back from Japan as were most of the men in Marine Control Squadron 9 when I came into it. How long he had been back I don't know. I certainly didn't know at that time. And thinking on what knowledge of him I have gained since then, I still couldn't say.
Mr. Jenner. Well, in any event you first became acquainted with or aware of his presence around Easter time in 1959?
Mr. Thornley. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. And you were transferred from that base when?
Mr. Thornley. June.
