Warren Commission (02 of 26): Hearings Vol. II (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. LANE. To that particular test taken by Mr. Anderson on November 23d?
Mr. RANKIN. Anything beyond that?
Mr. LANE. No; not at this time.
Mr. RANKIN. Now, I understand at one time you referred to some meeting
in the Carousel Club a week or so before the assassination. Do you have
any material on that or any information?
Mr. LANE. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Is there anything you would care to present to the
Commission?
Mr. LANE. Yes. I have been informed--and this is the source I will have
to check with again in order to secure his testimony----
Mr. RANKIN. You will advise us if you are permitted to.
Mr. LANE. Yes. But I can tell you the substance--that a meeting took
place on November 14, 1963, in the Carousel Club between Officer Tippit
and Bernard Weissman, Mr. Weissman being the gentleman who placed a
full-page advertisement in the Dallas Morning News which was printed on
November 22, asking a series of questions of President Kennedy. It was
addressed "Welcome to Dallas, President Kennedy. Why have you traded
the Monroe Doctrine for spirit of Moscow. Why has Gus Hall and the
Communist Party endorsed your 1964 election" and such matter. I think
these two give a rather clear indication of the kind of advertisement
that it was. And I have been informed that Mr. Weissman and Officer
Tippit and a third person were present there. I have been given the
name of the third person. But for matters which I will make plain to
the Commission, I will be pleased to give you the name of the third
person as given to me, but not in the presence of the press. I would
rather do that in executive session--that one piece of testimony.
The CHAIRMAN. That is satisfactory to do that, if you wish.
Mr. LANE. Thank you, sir.
Mr. RANKIN. Is there anything else about that incident that you know
and want to tell the Commission at this time?
Mr. LANE. No.
The CHAIRMAN. That is the entire story, is it?
Mr. LANE. That they were there for more than 2 hours conferring--these
three persons.
The CHAIRMAN. Your information does not--is not to the effect as to
what they were conferring on.
Mr. LANE. No; they did not hear that.
Mr. RANKIN. I am not suggesting, Mr. Lane, that you have been selective
about what you have told the Commission and what you have not told, but
I do wish to make the inquiry as to whether there is any information
you might have that the Commission should be informed of as to other
people that you might have interviewed in regard to this matter.
Mr. LANE. I have given the Commission at this time everything that I
know.
Mr. RANKIN. Is there anything about the palm prints that you can tell
us in addition to what you have given us?
Mr. LANE. Not in addition to what I have said.
Mr. RANKIN. Well, I will ask you generally--is there anything in
addition to what you have said that you would like to tell the
Commission at this time that has any bearing upon this investigation?
