Mr. Dulles.

By voucher you mean an entry or something of that kind, what kind of a voucher?

Mr. Wade.

I think it was called a voucher number, it was voucher 209, which doesn't make sense. I believe it was a low number. It doesn't make sense for a government to have a voucher number that low.

Mr. Rankin.

What book are you referring to?

Mr. Wade.

The little black book that Oswald had in his possession at the time he was arrested.

Mr. Rankin.

That was his memorandum book, in which he had a list of numbers of various people and addresses and so forth. is that what you referring to?

Mr. Wade.

Yes; and I never have seen the book myself. As a matter of fact, am trying to get some photos of it, trying to but I haven't gotten them yet.

Mr. Rankin.

Now, what agency was it rumored he was a member of?

Mr. Wade.

It was rumored he worked first for the FBI and then for the CIA.

Mr. Rankin.

Is that all you have heard?

Mr. Wade.

As a matter of fact, I don't think I had ever heard that until Waggoner Cart called me and told me--I don't think I ever heard that. I did check into it a little, and they were talking it some, and they have actually written it up in the newspapers by rumors or a story or two---rumors of the thing.

Mr. Rankin.

Is that the report by the reporter Hudkins?

Mr. Wade.

I believe it is. On the Houston paper, Hudkins. I believe we got that introduced in the Ruby trial on the change of venue motion.

Mr. Rankin.

Is there anything more that you know about that matter?

Mr. Wade.

I know absolutely nothing about it. I might say, I was under the impression, I think when I talked to you and the Chief Justice before, that, you see I was in the FBI, and I was under the impression and I think maybe I told you all that we didn't list our informant by name. The FBI have been kind enough to send down some of my old vouchers on paying informants back in, down in South America, and I see that we did list them by name which I--probably may, if I said otherwise it was just my recollection on the thing but in that case I was listing informants from South America that we were paying when I was there.

Mr. Rankin.

There was one other report by Goulden, reporter of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Did that ever come to your attention in regard to this matter?

Mr. Wade.

No; but I know him. He used to be a reporter in Dallas, but I don't know what it was, if you will tell me about it.

Mr. Rankin.

Apparently it was the same thing.

Mr. Wade.

Different angle.

Mr. Rankin.

From Hudkins' report that had been picked up.

Mr. Wade.

He is more reliable than Hudkins but I know absolutely nothing about that. Like I say, I have heard rumors and conversation and I will even put it further, I don't think Alexander knows anything about it, my assistant, although he doesn't fully admit all that. I think he would like to talk a little about it but I don't think he knows anything of his own knowledge.

Mr. Rankin.

Have you inquired of him?

Mr. Wade.

I have asked him about it and he gives me nothing in the way of evidence.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you prepare the complaint in regard to Jack Ruby yourself?

Mr. Wade.

I don't believe I did. I don't believe I had anything to do with it. If I did, my name will show on it but I don't think I had anything to do with it.

Mr. Rankin.

Did you give any information to the press about what you had in regard to that prosecution, and the nature of the evidence?

Mr. Wade.

No; not that I know of. Of course, they all saw it on television, you know. We have got in--to bring you through the whole story, I said practically nothing about this thing for about 3 weeks or a month, but we had a lawyer on the other side who came into town and every time he was met at the airport he would make statements.

Mr. Rankin.

Who was that?

Mr. Wade.

Mr. Melvin Belli, and he had his psychiatrist on the television, all his witnesses, said what he was going to prove and it got to a situation where
