Mr. Ball.

What about his picture in the paper? Did it appear to be----did you recognize him from the picture?

Mr. Bogard.

Yes; I recognized him as being the same fellow that had been in.

Mr. Ball.

And did you tell anybody out there that you thought it was the same person?

Mr. Bogard.

They began asking me then, and I said, "Yes," and this Pizzo recognized him, too.

Mr. Ball.

What did Pizzo say?

Mr. Bogard.

Said, "Yes; that is the same man." And Pizzo also has been questioned by the FBI.

Mr. Ball.

How do you spell his name?

Mr. Bogard.

P-i-z-z-o.

Mr. Ball.

He was the sales manager?

Mr. Bogard.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Is he still the sales manager out there?

Mr. Bogard.

No, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Where is he now?

Mr. Bogard.

I don't know. I think, though, that he is at Eagle Lincoln-Mercury. I wouldn't be for sure, because I haven't seen Pizzo since I left Downtown Lincoln-Mercury.

Mr. Ball.

Now, when was it that you talked to the other salesman about this and told them that you thought the man had been in to see you?

Mr. Bogard.

We were all standing there listening to the radio and the name came on the radio, and I pulled this business card out with "Lee Oswald," wrote across it.

Mr. Ball.

Who were some of the men standing by the radio when you pulled this business card out?

Mr. Bogard.

Oh, I think Oran Brown was there, Mr. Wilson was there, and this other little boy, he hadn't been there very long. I can't remember his name at this time right now.

Mr. Ball.

Oran Brown and Wilson?

Mr. Bogard.

Yes.

Mr. Ball.

What are Wilson's initials, do you have them?

Mr. Bogard.

I can't remember Mr. Wilson's initials right now.

Mr. Ball.

Wilson, a salesman?

Mr. Bogard.

Yes, sir; been there for about 12 years.

Mr. Ball.

Is Brown a salesman?

Mr. Bogard.

He works for Fina Oil Co. out here on Inwood Road now.

Mr. Ball.

What is it?

Mr. Bogard.

[Spelling] O-r-a-n

Mr. Ball.

[Spelling] O-r-a-n---oil what?

Mr. Bogard.

My--no, he works for Fina Oil Co., American Petra Fina Oil Co. A service station.

Mr. Ball.

Service station?

Mr. Bogard.

He manages this service station out there. New, big service station.

Mr. Ball.

Well, Mr. Bogard, did you receive a letter from the Commission asking you to appear here?

Mr. Bogard.

No, sir

Mr. Ball.

You were asked to appear by the Secret Service?

Mr. Bogard.

Yes, sir:

Mr. Ball.

I probably should have stated to you the purpose of this inquiry. The Commission has been authorized to investigate the assassination of the President and any facts or circumstances that might determine who assassinated him. And our attention was called to your testimony by the Federal Bureau of Investigation report, and we asked you to come in and testify and you did so willingly, didn't you?

Mr. Bogard.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

You were willing?

Mr. Bogard.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball.

Willing to come in and testify and be sworn?

Mr. Bogard.

Yes, sir.
