And you certainly didn't know it before November 22?
General WALKER. Or the morning of the 23d, certainly not. I was very surprised to see the article.

Mr. Liebeler.

So the best of your recollection is that you never provided them with the information?
General WALKER. I did not. I didn't know it at the time of this conversation at all. I didn't know it until I started reading the newspaper, which would have been later than then.

Mr. Liebeler.

I think that is right, so that you only had two conversations with these people, is that correct?
General WALKER. In connection with this incident, as I remember, there was a call back to verify something on the original conversation? I don't remember how the conversation came about. There were two telephone conversations; right.

Mr. Liebeler.

They both took place while you were down in Louisiana, the 23d and the 22d of November?
General WALKER. The first one was 7 o'clock in the morning the 23d, and it woke me up.

Mr. Liebeler.

You didn't have the faintest idea that Oswald had taken a shot at you and you didn't make a statement to that effect to the newspaper?
General WALKER. No; I didn't know.

Mr. Liebeler.

You didn't make a statement to the newspaper or anybody connected with it at any other time, isn't that a fact?
General WALKER. No.

Mr. Liebeler.

Is it not a fact?
General WALKER. I might have said that the reports over here had connected Oswald with me some subsequent time.

Mr. Liebeler.

I am somewhat puzzled by the whole thing, because the newspaper in which this apparently appeared is dated November 29, and in fact, that information was not known to anybody that I know of until a later date than that--
General WALKER. Much later.

Mr. Liebeler.

Several days, at any rate.
General WALKER. People began to guess it immediately. I should say guess at it.

Mr. Liebeler.

It might have been that the article was based on speculation, and it might have been the newspaper was postdated too. I think that sometimes happens.
General WALKER. I think that paper was definitely postdated.

Mr. Liebeler.

Yes; that would explain it. That is what I mean, predated.
General WALKER. That is something else.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you have any other information that you think the Commission ought to have that we haven't already talked about?
General WALKER. Yes. I think the Commission should look into George De Mohrenschildt, if it hasn't.

Mr. Liebeler.

What do you know about Mr. De Mohrenschildt?
General WALKER. I know that my information indicates that he lived next door to the professor that was supposed to have burned up.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you have any information that would connect De Mohrenschildt to the assassination of President Kennedy in any way?
General WALKER. I have the information the paper had that connected him with the Oswalds.

Mr. Liebeler.

Yes?
General WALKER. Of course, it is common knowledge that De Mohrenschildt was associated with Oswald now.

Mr. Liebeler.

Other than that, do you have any information to indicate that De Mohrenschildt was involved in any way with the assassination of President Kennedy?
General WALKER. Not directly.
General WATTS. Do you have any indirect evidence?
