PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION
ON THE ASSASSINATION OF
PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY
STATE OF CONNECTICUT,
_County of New Haven, ss_:
I, Peter Francis Connor, 27 Flaum Drive, West Haven, Connecticut, being
first duly sworn, depose and say:
That, while I was in the Marine Corps, I was stationed at Atsugi,
Japan, with Lee Harvey Oswald.
Oswald had the reputation of being a good worker. I observed that he
was not personally neat. I remember that while Oswald was in Japan, he
wore an expert rifleman's medal.
I never heard Oswald make any anti-American or pro-Communist
statements. He claimed to be named after Robert E. Lee, whom he
characterized as the greatest man in history.
Although Oswald engaged in several fights--one of them with a Robert
Demurs--I have no recollection as to how good a fighter he was.
Oswald did not choose to associate with his fellow Marines, nor did
they choose to associate with him. He often responded to the orders of
his superiors with insolent remarks.
