Mr. BELMONT. The reports, of course, speak for themselves. But in summation, we did not come up with anything of a solid nature, that is anything that would stand up to indicate that there was any association between Ruby and Oswald. We had numerous allegations which we ran out extensively and carefully, but there is nothing, no information, that would stand up to show there was an association between them. Mr. McCLOY. Maybe this is in the record, but do you--by reason of your very close association with this investigation, I venture to ask this question--do you, from your knowledge of the investigation find--was there any evidence in regard to Ruby's propensity for violence before this shooting took place in the police headquarters in Dallas? Mr. BELMONT. Did we have any information of that character and of that nature? Mr. McCLOY. Yes; I am not talking before it happened, but as a result of your investigation did you turn up any other indications of any violence on the part of Ruby? Mr. BELMONT. I hesitate to attempt to evaluate the information that we gathered from hundreds and hundreds of people that we talked to during the investigation of Ruby after the assassination. I just don't feel that I am in a position to render a judgment as to his character or his impulsiveness, the degree of impulsiveness, whether he was capable---- Mr. McCLOY. Whether he was prone to violent action. Mr. BELMONT. I just don't feel really competent. I have no doubt that a conclusion can be drawn from reports; of course, that was one of the basic issues at the trial. Representative FORD. Was there any evidence that the FBI found to the effect that Ruby was a Communist? Mr. BELMONT. No, sir. Representative FORD. None whatsoever? Mr. BELMONT. No, sir. Representative FORD. Was there any evidence found by the FBI to the effect that Ruby was connected with in any way whatsoever so-called rightist groups? Mr. BELMONT. No, sir; I do not recall anything of that nature. Mr. McCLOY. No association that you know of as a result of the investigation of Ruby with any foreign government or agency of a foreign government? Mr. BELMONT. No, sir; you understand, you are asking me questions, and I am replying on the basis of my best recollection, but I am giving you an answer from my knowledge of the case. Mr. McCLOY. That is what we were seeking, no more than that, because your impressions would be valuable. Mr. BELMONT. The reason I say that there may be someone we interviewed who made a statement about Ruby and it was run out, and it was found to be false. Congressman Ford, you asked me if he was a Communist. I would say we have no evidence of that.
