Mr. Hubert.

believe, by virtue of a specific request made by a letter addressed to you by Mr. J. Lee Rankin, general counsel, of the staff of the President's Commission. I understand that you received that letter last Friday, July 10, is that correct?

Mr. Hall.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Would you stand and raise your right hand? Do you solemly swear that the testimony you are about to give in this matter will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

Mr. Hall.

I do.

Mr. Hubert.

Will you please state your full name, please, sir?

Mr. Hall.

Marvin E. Hall.

Mr. Hubert.

I understand that while that is your full name, you are generally known by the name of Bert Hall, B-e-r-t?

Mr. Hall.

That's right; yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Which is sort of an official nickname?

Mr. Hall.

That's right.

Mr. Hubert.

Where do you live?

Mr. Hall.

4112 Sun Valley.

Mr. Hubert.

How old are you?

Mr. Hall.

Forty-three.

Mr. Hubert.

What is your occupation now?

Mr. Hall.

City manager of Armored Motor Service in Dallas, Tex.

Mr. Hubert.

Is that the same occupation that you had on November 24, 1963?

Mr. Hall.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hubert.

How long have you been connected with that company?

Mr. Hall.

Seven years. The reason I hesitate, I am also vice president of the company, but that is not really the main function here in Dallas.

Mr. Hubert.

As manager of the company, do you have occasion to actually drive the vehicles that are used by the company? Did you often do so prior to November 24? Had you done so frequently?

Mr. Hall.

Not frequently; as manager of the company, it is our obligation to make sure all our vehicles are in running order. We test drive them, periodically, because we go out on trips with the men. The capacity of driving a vehicle is part of knowing what is going on.

Mr. Hubert.

Prior to the time you became manager, were you connected with the company as a driver?

Mr. Hall.

No; as a salesman.

Mr. Hubert.

I think you were interviewed by the FBI on June 24, 1964, the FBI agents interviewing you being Mr. W. James Wood and Manning Clem-eats. I have, heretofore, a few minutes ago, handed to you a report by those two FBI agents of their interview with you. For the purpose of identification, I have marked the document, which consists of four pages, on the first page as follows, to wit: "Dallas, Texas, July 13, 1964, Exhibit No. 1, deposition of Bert Hall." Under which I have signed my name, and I have placed my initials on the succeeding three pages in the lower right-hand corner of each page. I think you have had an opportunity, have you not, sir, to read this 4-page document now marked as Exhibit No. 1?

Mr. Hall.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

I ask you if this document is correct, or whether you desire to make any corrections or modifications or additions to this document?

Mr. Hall.

There are minor adjustments to it; sir.

Mr. Hubert.

Now you have called my attention to the fourth paragraph on page 1 of that document, which describes Ed Dietrich as assistant crew chief. What comment have you to make as to that statement?

Mr. Hall.

Only that he is crew chief; and I may have been misunderstood by the two men on that.

Mr. Hubert.

Was he crew chief on November 24?

Mr. Hall.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

So that actually the word "Assistant" should be deleted?
Mr. HALL, That's right.

Mr. Hubert.

Now I see no marks on page 2, and I assume that you have no comment to make other than that it is correct?

Mr. Hall.

Correct.
