(Testimony of Lt. Jack Revill)
The Chairman.
You have told us what the truth of the situation is, you could do no more and no less.
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir.
(Discussion off the record.)
The Chairman.
Lieutenant, just a question or two, we forgot to ask, Mr. Rankin, would you ask them, please?
Mr. Rankin.
You said you made some handwritten notes about this 709 exhibit.
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin.
When you gave them to the typist--do you know what happened to those notes?
Mr. Revill.
They were destroyed, I am sure.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you know what her name is who typed 709?
Mr. Revill.
Mary Jane Robertson.
Mr. Rankin.
Is she still with the police department?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin.
What position is she in now?
Mr. Revill.
She is a clerk-typist in the special service bureau.
Mr. Rankin.
Do you know where the original of 709 is?
Mr. Revill.
With Chief Curry, I assume. Well, let's see. You have a copy; I would assume he has got it.
Mr. Dulles.
Wasn't a copy made at the time?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir; I have it.
Mr. Dulles.
The actual copy, you have?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir; it is in my little briefcase.
Mr. Rankin.
So that original would be available to us?
I Mr. DULLES. You have it here now?
Mr. Revill.
I have a copy.
Mr. Dulles.
A carbon copy?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir.
The Chairman.
He showed us a copy of his testimony.
Representative Ford.
Do you know how many copies were made?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir; one and one; an original and one.
Representative Ford.
And you kept one copy and one went to Captain Gannaway?
Mr. Revill.
No; both copies went to Captain Gannaway who is my immediate superior and he later gave me back the carbon and the original went to Chief Curry.
Representative Ford.
And you have had the one copy in your possession since how long?
Mr. Revill.
Probably a week or two after this thing happened, and I have had it in the Lee Harvey Oswald file.
Representative Ford.
You have had this copy in your files in the police department?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir.
Representative Ford.
Since about December 1 or thereabouts?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir; thereabouts.
The Chairman.
Do you number those items in the file?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir.
The Chairman.
And the order in which they come in?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir. Now, this particular report was put in the Lee Harvey Oswald file, and he was given an intelligence number, A & T, if I may get this copy I will explain to you----
The Chairman.
Yes; would you do so, please?
Mr. Revill.
Excuse me just a moment. You see, he was given A & T 2965, page 34, as it appears in his file. This is indexed with a card with this file number and page number.
The Chairman.
May I ask, would the next item in that file be numbered 35?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir; it would.
The Chairman.
And the one directly preceding it would be 33?
Mr. Revill.
Thirty-three; yes, sir.
