Mr. Vaughn.

don't know how they would specify a large crowd--I said I suppose it was probably half a dozen people standing outside the ramp.

Mr. Hubert.

So, you wish to correct that?

Mr. Vaughn.

I want to change the large---from large to that.

Mr. Hubert.

You wish to change "large crowd at 11 a.m." to "about half a dozen people" ?

Mr. Vaughn.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Were there any other corrections or modifications on that document?

Mr. Vaughn.

No, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

You have read it through and you believe it correctly represents the content and substance of the interview?

Mr. Vaughn.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Now; I ask you whether you have any comments or changes or corrections with reference to the FBI report which has been identified as Exhibit 5336?

Mr. Vaughn.

No; that's correct.

Mr. Hubert.

That's correct altogether?

Mr. Vaughn.

That's correct.

Mr. Hubert.

Mr. Vaughn, Would you be willing to state that if a person were to read the three reports that we have identified as Exhibits 5334, 5335, and 5336, and if he were to read your deposition here, that he would have the truth so far as you know?

Mr. Vaughn.

Yes, sir; I would.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, have you ever been interviewed by any other member of the Commission staff?

Mr. Vaughn.

No, sir; I have not.

Mr. Hubert.

Thank you, sir.

Mr. Vaughn.

All right. Thank you.
