United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Representative FORD. Did this building create, as you turned into
Houston Street, any particular problem that would have alerted you one
way or another?
Mr. KELLERMAN. None whatsoever. It did not produce a thing.
Representative FORD. Your eyes scanned the area. Did they scan
sufficiently to identify anything, to be alerted by anything in any
window, on the roof, or anyplace else?
Mr. KELLERMAN. No, sir.
Representative FORD. Did Mr. Lawson or anybody else indicate to you at
any time that the Book Depository Building was a problem?
Mr. KELLERMAN. No, sir.
Representative FORD. I mean beforehand.
Mr. KELLERMAN. Never mentioned it.
Representative FORD. Did Mr. Lawson or anybody else discuss with you
any particular danger involved in the overpass, the triple overpass?
Mr. KELLERMAN. No, sir.
Representative FORD. Did you have minute knowledge as to the route in
Dallas, or was that left up to Lawson in his judgment?
Mr. KELLERMAN. Left up to Lawson and the people in Texas.
Representative FORD. But he did tell you when you arrived in Dallas;
what, again?
Mr. KELLERMAN. And the people in Texas, the police department.
Representative FORD. What did he tell you? When you arrived in Dallas
that morning, he told you something.
Mr. KELLERMAN. Yes, sir. He said, "This is your reception committee,
which is at the bottom of the ramp leading out." I said, "Are we all
right in Dallas here all the way for today?" And he said, "Yes; this
will be fine." I said, "All right; let's get on with it."
Representative FORD. When were you first interviewed by anyone
regarding the directions from which the shots came?
Mr. KELLERMAN. I don't recall ever being interviewed.
Representative FORD. Did you ever make a statement for submission to
the Commission or to your supervisors?
Mr. KELLERMAN. Just this statement that I submitted here.
Representative FORD. Which is included in the Secret Service report.
Mr. KELLERMAN. Yes, sir.
Representative FORD. Did you have anything to do with setting up the
method of trying to apprehend the alleged assassin? Was that outside or
within your jurisdiction?
Mr. KELLERMAN. Outside, sir.
Representative FORD. You did nothing in that regard.
Mr. KELLERMAN. Nothing.
Representative FORD. I believe that is all. I have to go back to a very
important committee meeting, Mr. Chairman. I may be able to get back
later, Mr. Chief Justice.
The CHAIRMAN. I will be here the rest of the afternoon, so there will
be no necessity of your coming back if you are tied up. Thank you very
much for presiding all day.
Mr. Specter, have you some more questioning?
Mr. SPECTER. I have just one or two other questions.
