Mr. Rankin.

Are there any additions or corrections that you wish to make to it?

Mr. Brian.

No, sir.

The Chairman.

I was just going to ask if you fixed the date on which he dictated that or wrote it, whichever he did.

Mr. Rankin.

I haven't, but I will.
Will you tell us on what date you wrote or dictated Exhibit 711?

Mr. Brian.

Yes, sir; the day before, I believe it was the day before, Chief Curry came up here. It was either a day or 2 days before April 20th is what it says on there. That is the date that I made the report, the day or 2 days before Chief Curry came up here.
Will you tell us on what date you wrote or dictated Exhibit 711?

Mr. Brian.

I didn't think--well, Captain Gannaway told Lieutenant Revill to write a report about the thing the date it happened, and he did, or I assumed he did, and I guess that he did. I haven't----

Mr. Rankin.

Have you ever seen that report?

Mr. Brian.

I have seen it, but I haven't read it. That is unusual but I haven't. I didn't think the incident was really important, that is the reason why I didn't dwell on it, and I am sure it is now or I wouldn't be up here.
But they, a few days before Chief Curry was to come up here they said they wanted a report, you know, to what I had heard in the basement and this and that and the other, and I said, "Well, I better write one then."
I just assumed it was all taken care of, and so I wrote one on the 20th, I wrote that report on the 20th and swore to it and turned it in and he brought it up here.

Mr. Dulles.

You made no contemporaneous memoranda, that is on November 22 you made no notes or memoranda of this?

Mr. Brian.

No, sir.

Mr. Dulles.

So the report of April 20 you dictated on or about April 20 is based on your memory?

Mr. Brian.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

Exhibit 711, your report, was that written out in longhand or dictated to a girl?

Mr. Brian.

No, sir; I typed it myself on the typewriter. We don't have a stenographer in our office to dictate to.

Mr. Rankin.

You did type the part about the notary and so forth on the bottom?

Mr. Brian.

No, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

Do you know who did that?

Mr. Brian.

I believe Bill Biggio.

Mr. Rankin.

Who is he?

Mr. Brian.

He is a detective who works the desk there, who is a notary who notarized it.

Mr. Rankin.

Now, before you made Exhibit 711 did anyone give you Lieu- tenant Revill's report to examine?

Mr. Brian.

No, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

Compare your report with?

Mr. Brian.

No, sir.

Mr. Rankin.

And you have never read that?

Mr. Brian.

I don't recall reading it; no, sir. I sure don't. I probably looked at it but as far as sitting down and reading it, I have never read the report, I don't believe.

Mr. Rankin.

So if there is any differences between your report and his you are not familiar with them?

Mr. Brian.

No, sir.

Representative Ford.

Subsequent to November 22 and prior to April 20, when you prepared this Exhibit 711, did you ever talk to Lieutenant Revill about the incident?

Mr. Brian.

Yes, sir; I sure did. He couldn't remember who was with him down in the basement, and it rocked on there and had rocked on there, and somewhere it came out that somebody said he was lying about it and he was
