Mr. Liebeler.

He said that prior to the time that Oswald had been publicly connected with the assassination, is that correct?
Mr. KRYSTINIK. I just really don't know. Prior to 0swald's being apprehended, there was a description of the man on the radio, if I remember correctly, and the shot had been--it had been reported that--can we go .back Just a little bit?

Mr. Liebeler.

Sure.

Mr. Krystinik.

More of this is coming back.

Mr. Liebeler.

Surely.

Mr. KRYSTINIK. At the time the radio had commented that the shots had come from the vicinity of the Texas School Book Depository, and they put out a description of a young man. After I had asked Michael about the possibility of Oswald, well, he commented that that is where Oswald works.
Then they put out the description of the young man, and I said that fits him pretty good, to the best of my memory. You don't thank it could have been him? They did put out the description prior to his arrest and prior to his having shot Officer Tippit.

Mr. Liebeler.

The description seemed to fit Oswald ?

Mr. Krystinik.

The description seemed to fit Oswald, and they did at that time, if I remember, comment on him being about 25 years old. I think that was the age they gave, weighing about 160 pounds, and being sandy head, and if I remember right, they said a fair complexion. I don't remember that part of it. And shortly, just a little while after that, they commented on Officer. Tippit having been shot and Oswald having been arrested in the Texas Theatre.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you discuss with Michael the possibility that the description given fitted 0swald?

Mr. KRYSTINIK. Yes; I did. I said it sounds like him. Do you think we should coal the FBI. And he said, "Let's wait a little bit." And at that particular time he said that he didn't see, any way in the world it could be Oswald at all. Besides, the man was in Oak Cliff, and Oswald was---works in the School Book Depository.
They commented on the radio there was a man fitting this description and having shot Officer Tippet in Oak Cliff, and being shot. They commented on Tippit, and they were after him, and it was after they arrested him in the Oak Cliff Theatre.

Mr. Liebeler.

The description of this individual was given out after Officer Tippit had been shot, is that correct?

Mr. Krystinik.

It seems that someone had seen him shoot Officer Tippit. I don't remember that for sure, the description was on the radio.

Mr. Liebeler.

What did Michael say when you suggested that he call the FBI?

Mr. Krystinik.

He said, "If it is him, there is nothing they could do right now. It seems they are right after him. He didn't see in any way in the world it could be him. He didn't believe that it could be him."
And then just a little bit after that, I can't remember time spans, that was a pretty bad day--when I first heard about it having been Oswald, to the best of my recollection, the thing he said was that, "He is not even supposed to have a gun." He may have been meaning to the best of his knowledge, he didn't know that he owned a gun. That would have been what he meant.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did it seem strange to you at the time that Michael didn't want to advise the FBI?

Mr. Krystinik.

No; it didn't at all. We had talked about--Michael is a little, I couldn't call him an odd duck, but he is very different. He doesn't like to intrude on anyone's personal privacy at all, I mean, the least little bit.
I can be making a telephone conversation to my wife or to the company on business, and he is very careful not to come into the office, and he will see me on the telephone and turn around and go back. He is very careful to afford to other people all the privacy that he can.
At the same time, we commented before when I had seen a fellow taking movies of the Chance Vought FAU 3 Crusader from the road above a .railroad embankment just north of the naval air station, of the 11735 and I was a little bit wrangled about it and accosted the man did he---if he couldn't read
