I would say approximately about a year and a half. I think we have been open about a year and a half, it might be going on 2 years.

Mr. Jenner.

And tell us what the nature of that printing company is.

Offset lithography, letterheads, statements, envelopes, things like that.

Mr. Jenner.

Johnson Printing Co.; yes, sir. With several other companies in town.

Mr. Jenner.

I see. And where is Johnson Printing Co. located?

Mr. Klause.

I think it is the 2700 block of Haskell in Dallas.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you become acquainted with Robert A. Surrey while you were employed at Johnson Printing Co. ?

Mr. Klause.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Had you known him before that?

Mr. Klause.

No, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

I show you a document which has been identified and admitted in evidence as Commission Exhibit No. 996. The particular document I show you is a Xerox reproduction of the original exhibit.
Did you play some part in producing the original, the original copy and materials from which the Exhibit No. 996 I show you was prepared?

Mr. Klause.

I am not too sure what you mean but as far as laying--laying the job out, no, sir. Now, like I said, I ran the job. I shot the negatives.

Mr. Jenner.

Perhaps we can get at it this way, sir. When first did you have any connection with this matter?

Mr. Klause.

Approximately, I would say, a month before President Kennedy came to town.

Mr. Jenner.

How did that arise?

Mr. Klause.

Mr. Surrey called on me and asked me if I would run a job.

Mr. Jenner.

You say he called on you. Where were you when he called on you?

Mr. Klause.

I believe I was at the shop. In fact, I know I was at the shop. He must have called me at the shop.

Mr. Jenner.

When you say shop, you mean the Lettercraft Printing Co.?

Mr. Klause.

Yes, sir.
