I think it was very well expressed-- Mr. DULLES. May I ask you, Mr. Hoover, was this house arrest based on names you had furnished the Secret Service and they furnished the local authorities? Mr. HOOVER. Yes, sir. Representative BOGGS. That brings me back to the question I think I heard Congressman Ford ask you as I came into the room, because I think this is the crux of our investigation. I read the FBI report very carefully and the whole implication of the report is that, number one, Oswald shot the President; number two, that he was not connected with any conspiracy of any kind, nature or description. Mr. HOOVER. Correct. Representative BOGGS. Do you still subscribe to that? Mr. HOOVER. I subscribe to it even more strongly today than I did at the time that the report was written. You see, the original idea was that there would be an investigation by the FBI and a report would be prepared in such form that it could be released to the public. Representative BOGGS. Surely. Mr. HOOVER. Then a few days later, after further consideration, the President decided to form a commission, which I think was very wise, because I feel that the report of any agency of Government investigating what might be some shortcomings on the part of other agencies of Government ought to be reviewed by an impartial group such as this Commission. And the more I have read these reports, the more I am convinced that Oswald was the man who fired the gun; and he fired three times, killed the President, and wounded Governor Connally. And I also am further convinced that there is absolutely no association between Oswald or Ruby. There was no such evidence ever established. Mr. DULLES. Or Oswald and anybody else? Would you go that far? Mr. HOOVER. Anybody else who might be---- Mr. DULLES. In connection with the assassination? Mr. HOOVER. Yes; I would certainly go that far. There was suspicion at first this might be a Castro act. Representative BOGGS. Right. Mr. HOOVER. We had information that had been obtained in Mexico City by another intelligence agency indicating there was a man who had seen a certain amount of money passed to Oswald at the Cuban Consulate. I think it was $6,000 that was passed. We went into that very thoroughly. The man later retracted his statement and stated it was not true. He was asked whether he would take a lie detector test, and he did. The lie detector test showed that he was telling a lie. As to the lie detector, I do want to make this comment on it. I have always held to the opinion that it is not a perfect piece of machinery. It is an interpretation made by human beings of what the machine, the polygraph, shows. I would never want to convict or to send to the penitentiary any person solely on the evidence of the lie detector. It is a contribution in an investigation, a more or less psychological contribution.
