Mr. Griffin.

Hughes, on December 4, 1963. I am going to mark that Dallas, Tex., C. O. Arnett, 3-25-64, Exhibit 5032. And the next document that I am going to mark is what purports to be a copy of a letter that you prepared--signed, rather, dated November 27, 1963, and addressed to Chief Curry, having to do with the events that you observed on November 24, 1963. I am going to mark that Dallas, Tex., C. 0. Arnett, 3-25-64, Exhibit 5033. Now, I am going to hand these two exhibits to you, Captain Arnett, and I want to ask you if you have examined those. Have you had a chance to read them ?

Mr. Arnett.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, are there any additions or corrections, changes that you want to make in those, after having had a chance to read them?

Mr. Arnett.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

All right. Tell us where they are and we will see if we can't do that.

Mr. Arnett.

Right here. "He was stationed at the door of Chief Curry's office--" [indicating].

Mr. Griffin.

All right. Now, this is on Exhibit 5032, and you are referring to the language in the second paragraph on the first page. You stated that you were stationed in the door of Chief Curry's office. Go ahead.

Mr. Arnett.

I was stationed at Captain Fritz' office.

Mr. Griffin.

All right.

Mr. Arnett.

See, they have got it wrong. They have got it down Chief Curry, when it was Captain Fritz' office.

Mr. Griffin.

All right. Would you take my pen, then, and make the change on there, and cross out what's wrong and make an entry nearby to indicate what's correct, and then initial

Mr. Arnett.

Just scratch out this?

Mr. Griffin.

I would say scratch out Chief Curry and write in Captain Fritz, if that's correct.

Mr. Arnett.

How do you spell Fritz?

Mr. Griffin.

[ Spelling] F-r-i-t-z.

Mr. Arnett.

[ Spelling] F-r-i-t-z ?

Mr. Griffin.

Yes. Apostrophe s, I guess. [Spelling] F-r-i-t-z-'-s.

Mr. Arnett.

All right.

Mr. Griffin.

Would you initial, put your initials by each one of those changes and put a date out there, 3-25-64. Are there any other corrections that you think .ought to be made there ?

Mr. Arnett.

I don't remember any right now.

Mr. Griffin.

Okay. Now, did you serve in connection with the President's parade ?

Mr. Arnett.

Was I at the parade?

Mr. Griffin.

Did you have any duties as a reserve officer in connection with President Kennedy's arrival?

Mr. Arnett.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

Would you tell us what those duties were?

Mr. Arnett.

I was at large, but I worked between Harwood and St. Paul, on Main Street.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, when were you first told that you would have some responsibility in connection with the procession of the President through Dallas?

Mr. Arnett.

Well, probably the day before. I am not going to say that for sure. I could be wrong a day or two, but I think it was the day before.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, did you have any men that you were responsible for supervising?

Mr. Arnett.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Griffin.

How many men did you supervise on that particular day?

Mr. Arnett.

If I remember right, we had 27 or 28 reserves in the detail. We assigned them out of the assembly room to various locations up and down where the parade would be.

Mr. Griffin.

Now, did you attend any meeting prior to November 22, in which you got instructions as to what you were going to do in connection with the parade ?
