(Testimony of Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker)

Mr. Liebeler.
You mentioned previously that Reynolds had said that the law enforcement--you didn't say Reynolds said it--you said that you understood that the law enforcement officers had checked Reynolds just 2 days before he had been shot; is that correct?
General WALKER. That is correct.
Mr. Liebeler.
That is what Reynolds told you?
General WALKER. That is correct. I believe he referred to them as FBI.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you have any other indications of any possible relationship between these things,. that would help the Commission try to find out if there is a relationship between these events?
General WALKER. I don't think of anything else; no.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now you sent a telegram to the Commission suggesting that we question Warren Reynolds?
General WALKER. Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
As you probably know, of course, we have questioned him yesterday.
General WALKER., Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler.
Did you discuss Mr. Reynolds' appearance with us, with him?
General WALKER. I did. He called me on the telephone and we discussed it. He said you were a very nice young man.
Mr. Liebeler.
Thank you, General Walker. Thank Mr. Reynolds . You didn't say that. That is what he said. That isn't what you said.
General WALKER. I may call him tonight and tell him the same thing.

I think we are working in the same effort and same direction. I haven't done anything to hide on this thing. I do ask that you all get the chain of command straightened out here, or chain of responsibility with respect to the case.
Mr. Liebeler.
Those problems came up many times because there isn't any real chain of command or responsibility between these people. We don't have very much to do with the Dallas Police Department.
General WALKER. When they pass things to the FBI and the FBI is responsible to you, then it gives me a feeling it is probably out of their hands. Certainly they have used that.
Mr. Liebeler.
Now do you have any knowledge or any information that would indicate that Oswald was involved in a conspiracy of any type on the assassination of the President?
General WALKER. I think he designated his own conspiracy when he said he was a member of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee. That to me is a definite recognition of Conspiracy.
Mr. Liebeler.
Suggesting that the Fair Play for Cuba Committee was involved?
General WALKER. I would say as a member of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, it could not be segregated from being involved in it when one of its members does it, who thinks like they do.
Mr. Liebeler.
Well, that is of course, your view. My question of you is this.

Do you have any evidence or any knowledge that would either the involvement of organization in a conspiracy or plot to assassinate the President.
The fact that Oswald may have been a member of this organization, which he was, of course, is a fact that can be viewed from many different ways. But my question to you is somewhat different from that, and that is, do you know of or have any evidence to indicate that this organization or any other organization or any other person was involved with Oswald in the assassination of the President?
General WALKER. My answer to you is that I have exactly the evidence that you have, which is evidence that it was involved in the conspiracy, he said he was a member of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, and I the objectives of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee a Communist activity a conspiracy.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you know if anyone discussed the assassination with prior to the time that he assassinated the President, if he did the do you have any indication of that?
General WALKER. I have no personal knowledge that they did.
