Mr. Rankin.

He was a deposition witness.

The Chairman.

When was that?

Mr. Rankin.

I will have to check that.

The Chairman.

Was it before or after this affidavit?

Mr. Rankin.

I will have to check that, Mr. Chief Justice, to be sure.

The Chairman.

Did he in that deposition state that Agent Hosty had made such a statement to him?

Mr. Rankin.

I haven't examined the deposition. I don't know. We have the deposition now, but I have not examined it.

The Chairman.

Do you know, Professor Redlich?

Mr. Redlich.

Mr. Chief Justice, I asked that question, and the information I have is that he was not questioned about this particular allegation. He was questioned on other matters.

Representative Ford.

Did he volunteer that information?

The Chairman.

Yes. Is it in the deposition at all?

Mr. Redlich.

To the best of my knowledge, it is not, Mr. Chief Justice.

Mr. Mccloy.

Don't we have the deposition here? Can't we get it?

Mr. Rankin.

Mr. Chief Justice, I would like to be sure to check that before we have that on the record. I will report by morning, if that is all right, and be sure of it.

The Chairman.

What was the date of this newspaper article? It isn't dated here.

Mr. Stern.

The cover letter, Mr. Chief Justice, states that it appeared on April 24, 1964.

The Chairman.

Do I understand that Chief Curry said that no statement of that kind had been made by Lieutenant Revill at or about the time the statement was supposed to have been made by Agent Hosty?

Mr. Rankin.

I don't thank his testimony was in that form, Mr. Chief Justice. It was in the form that this was given to him and there wasn't any indication that it was given as of the date of November 22 in his testimony.

The Chairman.

I should like to see Lieutenant Revill's deposition.

Mr. Rankin.

Mr. Redlich has gone out for it.

The Chairman.

We won't delay that now. We will proceed. Go right ahead, Mr. Stern.

Mr. Stern.

What happened next?

Mr. Hosty.

As I said, I left Lieutenant Revill. I entered the office of Capt. Will Fritz. After a short delay, Agent James W. Bookhout and myself entered the inner office of Capt. Will Fritz of the homicide section, Dallas Police Department, where Lee Harvey Oswald was being questioned.

Mr. Stern.

I show you a two-page document marked Commission No. 832 for identification. Can you identify that?

Mr. Hosty.

Yes, sir. This is an interview form which I made for my interview with Lee Harvey Oswald on the 22d of November 1963. It was dictated as the form will indicate, on the 23d of November 1963.

Mr. Stern.

Let me ask you there, Mr. Hosty, about your practice in reducing to formal form your notes of interviews. This happened the next day?

Mr. Hosty.

Right.

Mr. Stern.

Is that faster than usual because of the circumstances?

Mr. Hosty.

Because of the circumstances..We have to reduce them to writing within 5 days.

Mr. Stern.

In 5 days?

Mr. Hosty.

Five working days.

Mr. Stern.

Did you retain the notes of this?

Mr. Hasty.

No. After the interview is reduced to writing, I get it back and proofread it. My notes are then destroyed because this is the record.

Mr. Stern.

And in this particular instance did you destroy your notes of this?

Mr. Hosty.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Stern.

Now you say that you are required to reduce your notes of an interview to writing within 5 working days.

Mr. Hosty.

Right.

Mr. Stern.

Did that happen with respect to the interviews you conducted on October 29, November 1, and November 5?
