PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION
ON THE ASSASSINATION OF
PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
_Orange County, ss_:
I, Erwin Donald Lewis, 9682 Mystic Lane, Anaheim, California, being
first duly sworn, depose and say:
That while I was in the United States Marine Corps, I served in Marine
Air Control Squadron #9 in Santa Ana, California, with Lee Harvey
Oswald. I knew him only casually as a working acquaintance.
Oswald, a radar operator, was very quiet, kept to himself, and did
not appear to have any close friends. To the best of my knowledge, he
seldom left the base.
It was a matter of common knowledge among squadron members that he
could read, write, and speak Russian.
I know from personal observation that he read the "Daily Worker." I
heard--although of this I am not completely certain--that he had a
subscription to that publication.
Signed this 6th day of June, 1964.
(S) Erwin Donald Lewis,
ERWIN DONALD LEWIS.
