(Testimony of Robert Alan Surrey)

The Chairman.
And General Walker?
Representative Boggs.
Was this pamphlet that you printed included in the book?
Mr. Jenner.
Excuse me. That is----
Representative Boggs.
"Wanted for Treason"?
Mr. Jenner.
Commission Exhibit No. 996.
Mr. Surrey.
No.
Representative Boggs.
That was not included?
Mr. Surrey.
No.
Representative Boggs.
You didn't make that a part of the record of the events surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy?
Mr. Surrey.
I did not make it a part of the record?
Representative Boggs.
In this record that you published.
Mr. Surrey.
I had nothing to do with making it a part of the record.
Representative Boggs.
You published the book, didn't you?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes; but these were newspaper reprints.
Representative Boggs.
You published this, too, didn't you?
Mr. Surrey.
No, sir.
Representative Boggs.
You didn't publish it?
Mr. Surrey.
No, sir.
The Chairman.
You are speaking of the book now?
Representative Boggs.
I am talking about your printing company.
Mr. Surrey.
You are talking about my printing company?
Representative Boggs.
The company you work for.
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, Johnson Printing Co.
Representative Boggs.
Didn't you publish this?
Mr. Surrey.
No.
Representative Boggs.
Who printed it?
Mr. Surrey.
I decline to answer on the grounds it may tend to incriminate me.
Representative Boggs.
Mr. Chairman, I, of course, fully appreciate the right of the witness to plead the fifth amendment. But I would simply like to make the observation that this is the only witness out of hundreds who has pled the fifth amendment, and that obviously if each witness had done this, then the charge of being muzzled would be something that we would really be confronted with. I would simply like to make that observation.
The Chairman.
You may proceed, Mr. Jenner.
Mr.JENNER. Thank you. Does the American Eagle Publishing Co. have a bookstore subsidiary or outlet?
Mr. Surrey.
No; we do not.
Mr. Jenner.
What is the American Eagle Book Store?
Mr. Surrey.
There is no American Eagle Book Store.
The Chairman.
Do you have a headquarters?
Mr. Surrey.
No, sir.
The Chairman.
Do you have a telephone?
Mr. Surrey.
No. sir.
The Chairman.
Are you listed with the local authorities under a fictitious or assumed name?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes--doing business as?
The Chairman.
Doing business as, yes.
Mr. Surrey.
Yes.
The Chairman.
And the names given are yourself and General Walker?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, sir.
The Chairman.
Where is that filed--with your county clerk?
Mr. Surrey.
County clerk in Dallas.
Mr. Jenner.
We have talked about General Walker: That is General Edwin A. Walker, now resigned?
Mr. Surrey.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
And do you know a Robert G. Krause?
Mr. Surrey.
I refuse to answer on the grounds the answer may tend to incriminate me.
Mr. Jenner.
Was he not formerly employed by Johnson Printing Co.?
Mr. Surrey.
I refuse to answer for the same reason.
