Mr. Martin.

This I brought for you. We don't have the money. But these are the contracts that have been negotiated.

Mr. Redlich.

Is this something you are turning over to the Commission?

Mr. Martin.

Yes, that is for your information.

Mr. Dulles.

What is the nature of this document?

Mr. Martin.

It is a handwritten----

Mr. Dulles.

By whom?

Mr. Martin.

By me, a handwritten list of the publishers, and the news media that I have contacted in Marina's behalf to sell her movie rights, the TV right, book rights and so forth.

Mr. Dulles.

And the amount they have proposed to pay for them?

Mr. Martin.

Well, these are just the advances.
Now, in the case of Texitalia Films, for instance----

Mr. Redlich.

Could I interrupt and get this identified?

Mr. Martin.

Certainly.

Mr. Redlich.

With your permission, we would like to introduce this into evidence and take a photostatic copy and leave you with the original.

Mr. Martin.

Certainly.

Mr. Dulles.

Would you describe this?

Mr. Redlich.

This document lists various publications, media of communication, and indicating the amounts which have been the subject of negotiation, and the contracts, if any, which have been signed with these various media of publication concerning Marina Oswald's story.

Mr. Dulles.

Mr. Martin has said this is written in his own hand, is that correct, Mr. Martin?

Mr. Martin.

Yes, sir.

Representative Boggs.

Mr. Chairman, I have to go to a meeting at the Speaker's office momentarily, I would just like to ask one further question of this witness.
Now, I understand about the business negotiations here and so forth, but I want you to be specific-anything that comes to your mind as to whether or not this woman, anything more than what I asked you about.

Mr. Leech.

Can you give us about two minutes in that room?
(Discussion off the record.)

Mr. Redlich.

Back on the record.

Mr. Dulles.

Just one minute. This should go in the record.

Representative Boggs.

Who is this individual?

Mr. Martin.

I have been trying to remember his name. I can find out his name. It began with an "H".

Mr. Dulles.

Would you repeat the story, please, and then we will continue with the examination.

Mr. Martin.

I met a gentleman who is an executive with the Dinkler Hotel chain, and he related the story to me that was told to him by one of their engineers, a maintenance man in the Atlanta, in their Atlanta hotel. The maintenance man's wife was an, or is a long distance telephone operator, and on the night preceding the assassination there was an individual that called, well, the way I heard the story, that she said he sounded like he had been drinking, and that he mentioned to her to remember this telephone call because it would go down in history. He made a credit card call to Lee Harvey Oswald, and simply said, "Proceed as planned."
Then he made another telephone call to Jack Ruby and told him that if anything went wrong he knew what to do.
Now, I questioned this, I guess there are numerous rumors of this type or whatever it is, and he said no, that it was definitely the truth, and the reason she hadn't come out before with it was that it is a violation of Federal law to listen to a long distance telephone call, and that they finally did report it to the FBI.

Mr. Redlich.

The person you were speaking to, as I understand this story, received the information from a maintenance man whose wife was the telephone operator who overheard the conversation?

Mr. Martin.

Yes.

Representative Boggs.

Was this a telephone operator in a Dinkler hotel?

Representative Boggs.
