United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. RANKIN. I will hand you Exhibit No. 710 and ask you if that isn't a
copy of what you are referring to.
Mr. CURRY. Yes; it is.
Mr. RANKIN. You won't have to read that. Chief, if you will just
describe in a general way what was done that you know about and then I
will offer that to show what it proves.
Mr. CURRY. In essence, this report says prior to the announcement of
the President's visit, there were rumors he would visit Dallas and
because of these rumors the intelligence section increased its efforts
in attempting to get data concerning not only extremists and subversive
groups.
Mr. RANKIN. How do they do that?
Mr. CURRY. They usually have an informant inside the organization.
Sometimes it may be one of our own men.
Mr. RANKIN. I see.
That was with regard to the persons listed on that Exhibit 710?
Mr. CURRY. Yes.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you know of any other efforts besides that?
Mr. CURRY. No, sir; these are all that I know of except we did in one
instance go to the cities outside of Dallas, towns outside of Dallas
to talk to some people that had rumored that they would do something
to embarrass the President. These organizations are listed as the Ku
Klux Klan, the Indignant White Citizens Council, National States Rights
Party, the John Birch Society, Dallas White Citizens Council, Oak Cliff
White Citizens Council, General Walker group, American Opinion Forum,
Dallas Committee for Full Citizenship, Young Peoples Socialist League,
Dallas Civil Liberties Union, Texas White Citizens Council, and Black
Muslims.
Mr. RANKIN. I will hand you Exhibit 709 which you have furnished us
this morning, and ask you, can you tell us how you got that exhibit?
Mr. CURRY. This exhibit was a report that was submitted to me from Jack
Revill, who is a lieutenant, in the criminal intelligence section.
Mr. RANKIN. That is the same man who is referred to in Exhibit 710?
Mr. CURRY. Yes, it is; their assignment is to keep track of these
groups that we have talked about, possible subversive or extremist
groups and try to know something about their plans, their movements.
Mr. RANKIN. How did you get that information described in Exhibit 709?
Mr. CURRY. It was given to me on November 22d at 2:50 p.m., or shortly
thereafter, but I mean the information came to him at that time, and he
passed it on to me, later that day.
Mr. RANKIN. Would you tell us how you secured Exhibit 711?
Mr. CURRY. This is a report from Officer V. J. Brian, B-r-i-a-n, who
is a detective in the criminal intelligence section, and was present
when Lieutenant Revill, when the information submitted was given to
Lieutenant Revill.
Mr. RANKIN. I would like to offer Exhibits 709, 710, and 711.
Mr. DULLES. They will be admitted.
(The documents referred to were marked Commission Exhibit Nos. 709,
710, and 711 for identification and received in evidence.)
Mr. RANKIN. Mr. Chairman, I think we should have a recess now until 2
o'clock.
Mr. McCLOY. One more question.
