(Testimony of Robert Edward Oswald Lee Resumed)
Mr. Oswald.
On the page referred to, from the date of 12-11-63, on the 11th page following that, I have an asterisk in the left-hand column.
Mr. Jenner.
Would you read the first line of that page?
Mr. Oswald.
"Complete with Marina."
Mr. Jenner.
And the last line?
Mr. Oswald.
"around 11 a.m., the first great shock of the day"
Mr. Jenner.
Just the last line.
Mr. Oswald.
"also they were having a hard time locating".
Mr. Jenner.
Now, there is an asterisk in the left-hand margin?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Approximately the center of the page?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
I gather from your testimony that the entry you made then on 11th of December 1963, commenced at the point that you have that date in the margin, and runs to, throughout the pages consecutively--down to the asterisk of the page you have now identified.
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
When did you make the entry that is opposite the asterisk, and that follows the asterisk?
Mr. Oswald.
I do not recall the exact date, sir. I do recall stopping at that period and making the balance of the entries at a later date after December 11, 1963, and prior to January 13, 1964.
Mr. Dulles.
Were they all made at one time?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Dulles.
The post asterisk entries?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir. From the asterisk until the completion of the diary to the date of January 13, 1964, was made at one time.
Mr. Jenner.
And it recorded past events. It was not made contemporaneously with the events recorded?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
So that the first entries in this notebook that are diary entries in the sense that they are made contemporaneously with the event, to immediately record the event, are those appearing on the last page, consisting of two entries, one dated Sunday, January 13, 1964, and one dated Sunday, January 19, 1964?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir; that is correct.
I have noted an error in those dates to the extent that there is only 6 days in between those two Sundays. One date is wrong.
Mr. Jenner.
You mean either January 13, 1964, is incorrect or Sunday, January 19, 1964, is incorrect?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir. It was an error on my part. And if I may refer to a calendar, I will correct the dates.
Mr. Jenner.
Is that a '63 calendar you have there?
Mr. Oswald.
No, sir; this is a '64.
I would correct the first date as appeared in my diary of Sunday, January 13, 1964, to be corrected to January 12, 1964, and the second date of January would be correct, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
So wherever in your testimony this morning you have referred to the Sunday, January 13 date, that is to be corrected to January 12, 1964?
Mr. Oswald.
That is correct.
Mr. Jenner.
For the purpose Of further identification of the exhibit, and in the context of Mr. McKenzie's and my agreement to substitute a photostatic copy for the original. I will undertake to number the pages of the exhibit on the photostatic copy.
Mr. McKENZIE Would you like Robert to do that?
Mr. Jenner.
Well, I would like to have him follow, so that the numbers on the photostat correspond with the pages consecutively in the original.
As I number the pages, Mr. Oswald, would you follow me, so that the page numbers I place on the exhibit are correct in that they are in sequence with the original?
Mr. Oswald.
Yes, sir.
