Warren Commission (05 of 26): Hearings Vol. V (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. DULLES. I see, not in your own office.
Mr. REVILL. No, sir; we are an integral part of the special service
bureau office but our files are maintained elsewhere, and this was made
at the special service bureau office.
Representative FORD. When you sat down to write out this statement,
just describe where you did it and how you did it, what kind of paper
you used and so forth.
Mr. REVILL. Well, we use the white pads like this, and I wrote it out
on the pad, and in the special service bureau office and it was made in
Lieutenant Dyson's office, he was out, and I used his desk, and then I
took it to Mrs. Robertson, and she typed it.
Representative FORD. Did you consult with Detective Brian?
Mr. REVILL. No, sir.
Representative FORD. During the time you were preparing it?
Mr. REVILL. No, sir.
Representative FORD. Or subsequent to its preparation?
Mr. REVILL. No, sir; I did not. At the time I couldn't have told you
who was with me or who overheard this thing because there was so much
confusion in the elevator and going to the elevator.
Representative FORD. But Brian was with you on the elevator?
Mr. REVILL. Yes, sir; he was with me in the automobile and on the
elevator.
Representative FORD. Was he up in Gannaway's office with you, too?
Mr. REVILL. Yes, sir; he works for me.
Representative FORD. He was with you at the time you went to Gannaway's
office?
Mr. REVILL. The special service bureau office; yes, sir.
Representative FORD. But he didn't see this at anytime?
Mr. REVILL. No, sir; I say he didn't, I don't know whether he ever saw
it or not. He might have seen it when I was working on it and I gave
both of the copies to the captain.
The CHAIRMAN. Lieutenant, did that entire Oswald file that you have
just told us about come to the Commission, do you know?
Mr. REVILL. I don't know. Now what we did, we made up several large
books, and it is my understanding that a copy of one of these was given
to the Attorney General Waggoner and he was in turn to furnish it to
this Commission, this I was told by Captain Gannaway.
Mr. RANKIN. When was that?
Mr. REVILL. This was a month or two ago.
Mr. RANKIN. Yes; but not when you first gave the files.
Mr. REVILL. No, sir; because this happened on the same day.
The CHAIRMAN. Should that file have included this?
Mr. REVILL. No, sir; it didn't. There were only two pieces made of it,
one copy and the original made of this.
The CHAIRMAN. I see. What I am getting at, when the department sent
their reports to us, did they send copies of this file that Exhibit 709
is in?
Mr. REVILL. The Lee Harvey Oswald file?
The CHAIRMAN. Yes.
Mr. REVILL. I don't believe they did, because much of this is, pertains
to newspaper articles, and information that we picked up such as leads
where Ruby and Oswald were seen together, we ran all these things down,
and then we would make a report of the lead, or the findings, and a
copy of it would go in their files.
The CHAIRMAN. I see.
