(Testimony of Bernard William Weissman Resumed)
Mr. Jenner.
A document of five pages marked Commission Exhibit No. 1041 on the first of which appears the signature Larrie H. Schmidt.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1041 for identification.)
Mr. Jenner.
Do you recognize that signature?
Mr. Weissman.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Whose is it?
Mr. Weissman.
Larrie Schmidt's.
Mr. Jenner.
The last of this series of letter-sized papers is a five-page document titled "A Code of Conduct for Members of Conservatism U.S.A." which has been marked Commission Exhibit No. 1042.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No, 1042 for identification.)
Mr. Jenner.
. I understand that these three documents that I have now identified were enclosed in an envelope which has been marked Commission Exhibit No. 1043, in the upper left-hand corner, L. H. Schmidt, 5417b Lewis Street, Dallas 6, Tex., addressed to Private First Class Bernie Weissman. Is that you?
Mr. Weissman.
That is me.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1043 for identification.)
Mr. Jenner.
That is postmarked Dallas, January 4, 1963.
Did you receive the documents, now identified as Commission Exhibits Nos. 1040, 1041, 1042, and 1043?
Mr. Weissman.
Yes, I did.
Mr. Jenner.
Were the first of those three--were the first three of those exhibits I have named enclosed in the document identified as Commission Exhibit No. 1043?
Mr. Weissman.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
I have already identified the signature.
These documents relate to the development of and plans for CUSA, do they not?
Mr. Weissman.
They do.
Mr. Jenner.
And the conduct of CUSA?
Mr. Weissman.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
The next two documents, a three-page letter typed on the top "Headquarters Conservatism U.S.A.," dated February 2, 1963. at Dallas, Tex., 5417b Lewis Street, which I have marked as Commission Exhibit No. 1049.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1049 for identification.)
Mr. Jenner.
This is addressed "To All Members." It is signed in typing "Sincerely, Larrie." Have you seen that document before?
Mr. Weissman.
Yes; I have.
Mr. Jenner.
And was it enclosed in an envelope?
Mr. Weissman.
It was.
Mr. Jenner.
Was it sent to you?
Mr. Weissman.
Yes; it was.
Mr. Jenner.
Is that document the envelope Commission Exhibit No. 1050?
Mr. Weissman.
That is right.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1050 for identification.)
Mr. Jenner.
There is handwriting on the face of Exhibit No. 1050. Whose handwriting is that?
Mr. Weissman.
That is mine.
Mr. Jenner.
Read it.
Mr. Weissman.
"Meeting with Bob Morris, Infiltration of YAF by CUSA."
Mr. Jenner.
Mr. Chief Justice and members of the Commission, the three-page document relates to a meeting held in the home of Dr. Morris. Is that Dr. Robert Morris?
Mr. Weissman.
That is right, of Dallas, Tex.
Mr. Jenner.
Which recounts the plans for infiltration of conservative groups
