"It is so politically explosive that the Presidential Commission, headed by Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, has even withheld it from one of its own members, Senator Richard Russell (D., Ga.). "It is feared that Senator Russell, who leads the South in the fight against the civil rights bill, might use the document as a weapon against the Justice Department and its chief, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, a leader in the fight for civil rights. "The document--requesting the cops not to arrest Ruby and Oswald--contradicts the FBI report on the assassination and the subsequent murder of Oswald." My question is, do you have any information that would lead you to believe that any of those allegations are true? Mr. BELMONT. My answer, sir, is that that is utter fantastic nonsense, and I have no information to indicate that any of the allegations are true. The CHAIRMAN. I think we had better mark this and introduce it in evidence. There is much more to the article, but it is explanatory of this, but I thought that was sufficiently a direct allegation that we ought to note it in the testimony. So will you give that a number, Mr. Stern. Mr. STERN. It will be numbered 837. The CHAIRMAN. 837. It is introduced in evidence as No. 837. Mr. STERN. May we also have admitted, Mr. Chief Justice, Exhibit No. 836, the letter of March 31, 1964, which Mr. Belmont has identified. The CHAIRMAN. It may be admitted under that number. (The documents referred to were marked for identification as Commission Exhibits Nos. 836 and 837 and were received in evidence.) The CHAIRMAN. Is there anything further, gentlemen? Mr. McCLOY. May I suggest that we get a copy of the paper which does have the date on it. I forget what date it was. Mr. BELMONT. Mr. Rankin, I understand you have sent it over to us, so we will be glad to answer your letter. The CHAIRMAN. Well, Mr. Belmont, we appreciate your cooperation, and we thank you for your courtesy. (Whereupon, at 12:40 p.m., the President's Commission recessed.) _Wednesday, May 13, 1964_ TESTIMONY OF LT.
