The Chairman.
this call for public service on a moment's notice, and we appreciate it all the more because of that.
My own personal thanks to you in addition to those of the Commission.
Mr. Doyle.
Thank you, Your Honor. I assume that my designation was for the purpose of the hearing and with the conclusion that will have finished my job.
The Chairman.
Thank you. Unless Mrs. Oswald should like to ask you some questions about the matter at the conclusion of the testimony, I think that will be all.
Mr. Doyle.
Very well.
The Chairman.
Thank you both.
Mrs. Oswald.
You and I are through as attorney and client?
Mr. Doyle.
Yes.
Mrs. Oswald.
This will not be pursued any further?
Mr. DOYLE Unless you have some questions, thank you.
Mrs. Oswald.
Gentlemen, you are making a very big mistake. I thank you very much for inviting me here.
The Chairman.
I don't understand you.
Mrs. Oswald.
I think you are making a very big mistake not pursuing this further because I have told important people about this particular incident and I say it is correct and I hope you will continue while I am gone not just to ignore what I have said.
The Chairman.
Mrs. Oswald, you misjudge the Commission when you say we will not pursue it further----
Mrs. Oswald.
Fine, I don't know, I am asking.
The Chairman.
You may be sure we will pursue it further.
Mrs. Oswald.
Thank you, and I have more people that I could call. I have told Mr. Doyle the people.
Would you like me to name the people on the record for you? Mr. Lane, I called Mr. Lane----
The Chairman.
To what purpose are you naming these people?
Mrs. Oswald.
To the purpose that Mr. Mike Howard who came to Fort Worth last week to protect me, I called these people and told them how concerned I was that he was the one.
The Chairman.
I think you have told us what you told them, so that we have it here in the record now.
We are adjourned.
(Whereupon, at 5:15 p.m., the President's Commission recessed. )
