Mr. Hubert.

I state to you that the general nature of the Commission's inquiry is to ascertain, evaluate and report upon the facts relative to the assassination of President Kennedy and the subsequent violent death of Lee Harvey Oswald.
In particular, as to you, Mrs. Carlin, the nature of the inquiry today is to determine what pertinent facts you may know about the death of Oswald and any other pertinent facts you may know about the general inquiry and about Jack Ruby and about his operations and associates and so forth.
Mrs. Carlin, there has been a letter addressed to you, but apparently it went to the wrong address, and this letter asked you to appear here, and of course the letter therefore was not received.
Under the rules adopted by the Commission, every witness who appears has a right to have a 3-day written notice before they actually appear. The rules also provide that you may waive that written notice, and if you are willing to testify now without that 3-day written notice, you may do so. Of course, you can claim the privilege of having the 3-day notice or you can waive it and go ahead and testify now. Is it your wish to waive it and testify now without the 3 days' written notice?

Mrs. Carlin.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Will you stand and raise your right hand and be sworn.
Do you solemnly swear 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

Mrs. Carlin.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

You are Mrs. Bruce Carlin, is that so?

Mrs. Carlin.

Mr. Hubert.

You had a stage name, I think, of what?
Mrs, CARLIN. Little Lynn.

Mr. Hubert.

And I think your name is also Karen?

Mrs. Carlin.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

That's (spelling) K-a-re-n?

Mrs. Carlin.

That's correct.

Mr. Hubert.

There are only a few questions I need to ask you. Is your father alive?

Mrs. Carlin.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Where does he live?

Mrs. Carlin.

Chattanooga, Tenn.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you have any member of your family who was killed by violence ?

Mrs. Carlin.

I don't believe so.

Mr. Hubert.

No brothers or father-in-law or anyone of that sort?

Mrs. Carlin.

I don't believe so. I haven't heard from any of them in quite a long time.

Mr. Hubert.

You don't know of anybody that was murdered?

Mrs. Carlin.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

Are your mother and father still living together?

Mrs. Carlin.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

Has your mother remarried?

Mrs. Carlin.

No--I won't say definitely no, because I don't know. I really don't know if she has remarried or not.

Mr. Hubert.

But you don't know of any person who was killed by violence in your family?

Mrs. Carlin.

No.

Mr. Hubert.

You know Kathy Kay, of course?

Mrs. Carlin.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Is that her full name?

Mrs. Carlin.

I don't know her full name. All I knew her by was Kathy Kay.

Mr. Hubert.

Did you know Harry Olsen?

Mrs. Carlin.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Who was he?

Mrs. Carlin.

Her boy friend--I believe that was his name.
Mr, HUBERT. Was he then a member of the police force, the Dallas police force?

Mrs. Carlin.

He was supposed to be; yes.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you know whether they have married or not?
