United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. BELIN. All right. Now, did you ever tell anyone, or might you have
told them, that you saw this person a minute or two before you saw the
motorcade, rather than as you told us here today, 15 or 20 seconds
before you first saw the motorcade?
Mr. FISCHER. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. Did you ever tell anyone it was a minute or two before you
saw the motorcade?
Mr. FISCHER. Well, I might have said "a minute or two" in just terms. I
don't remember saying that but.
Mr. BELIN. But what is the----
Mr. FISCHER. Shortly before.
Mr. BELIN. Shortly?
Mr. FISCHER. Shortly before.
Mr. BELIN. Do you definitely remember that it was this 15 or 20 seconds
or so before you saw the motorcade, or might it have been a minute or
two before you saw the motorcade?
Mr. FISCHER. I don't think it was over a minute. It could--it was less
than a minute--because, as I recall, that's what--that's the reason I
turned my attention from him and I looked back down the street.
Mr. BELIN. All right. Is there anything else you can think of that
bears on the assassination, or anything you saw or did or heard that
you haven't related here?
Mr. FISCHER. (Pausing before reply.) No.
Mr. BELIN. Did you say "No"?
Mr. FISCHER. No--I can't think of anything.
Mr. BELIN. Shortly before this interview began, you and I met for the
first time--is that correct?
Mr. FISCHER. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. And we first chatted a few minutes about what you saw before
we started taking your testimony on the record?
Mr. FISCHER. Yes.
Mr. BELIN. What is the fact as to whether or not I asked you to tell me
your story or whether or not, instead, I asked you questions and tried
to, in any way, lead you--or so forth?
Mr. FISCHER. I answered the questions as I think that I saw the events
happen--as I saw the events happen. I was not quizzed on what to say or
anything of that nature. I've merely related what I think that I saw.
Mr. BELIN. Is there anything that you told me of before we
started taking the deposition that has not been included in this
deposition--that you can think of?
Mr. FISCHER. [Pausing before reply.] No; not that I can think of.
Mr. BELIN. All right.
I believe that ends the deposition.
I want to thank you for your courtesy in coming here, Mr. Fischer. We
appreciate your taking the time to do it. And we would also appreciate
your conveying our appreciation to the Dallas County Auditor for
letting you take this time off. Will you do that, please?
Mr. FISCHER. Yes; and thank you.

counsel of the President's Commission.
Mr. BELIN. Would you stand and raise your right hand and be sworn,
please.
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give will be
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
