Eugene A. Anderson

A man must have acquired a minimum of 30 points from winning medals in certain specified high-caliber matches. To win these points he must have placed among the top 10 percent of the nondistinguished shooters participating in the match. By winning a gold medal he can earn 10 points. By winning a silver medal he can earn eight points. By winning a bronze medal he can win six points.

And what qualifications must be displayed to obtain the classification as master of the National Rifle Association of America?

You have to fire in a minimum number of National Rifle Association sponsored matches.
(Discussion off the record.)

I want to correct the record.

Proceed to do so.

I am a master with the pistol in the National Rifle Association. I am not classified with the rifle.

And does your classification as a distinguished marksman apply to the rifle?

To the rifle, yes.

I now hand you a document which has heretofore been introduced into evidence as Commission Exhibit No. 239.

I ask you if you have heretofore had an opportunity to examine that document?

Yes; I have.

And would you describe for the record what that document is, please?

This is a U.S. rifle, caliber 30, M-1 and U.S. carbine, caliber 30, M-l-A1 record scorebook that is maintained by a shooter who is training for firing for qualification or requalification in the Marine Corps.

Is that a standard record scorebook which the Marine Corps makes available to every Marine who shoots under those circumstances?

It was standard at the time of issuance of this particular book.

And what was that time?

In December 1956.

And does the name of any specific Marine appear on the front page of that document?

Yes; Oswald.

And are there any initials?

It appears to be "L. H."

Would you outline the marksmanship training, if any, which a Marine recruit receives in the normal course of Marine training?
