Mrs. DYMITRUK. I think that's all right.
Mr. JENNER. You would prefer to waive it?
Mrs. DYMITRUK. I think that's all right. What I say is truth.
Mr. JENNER. Well, all right.
Thank you very much. We appreciate your coming voluntarily. It's
certainly an inconvenience, I know, but you've been very helpful.
Mrs. DYMITRUK. Thank you.
TESTIMONY OF GARY E. TAYLOR
The testimony of Mr. Gary E. Taylor was taken at 2 p.m. on March 25,
1964, in the office of the U.S. Attorney, 301 Post Office Building,
Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Albert E. Jenner, Jr.,
assistant counsel of the President's Commission. Robert T. Davis,
assistant attorney general of Texas, was also present.
Mr. JENNER. Mr. Taylor, will you stand and be sworn please?
In your testimony which you are about to give, do you solemnly swear to
tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you
God?
Mr. TAYLOR. I do.
Mr. JENNER. Mr. Taylor, did you receive recently--I guess it was
last week--a letter from J. Lee Rankin, the general counsel for the
Presidential Assassination Commission----
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Asking if you would appear for the taking of your
deposition?
Mr. TAYLOR. That's true.
Mr. JENNER. And was there included with that letter a copy of the
Executive Order of President Lyndon B. Johnson, No. 11130 of November
29, 1963, in which he appoints and authorizes the Commission and
directs that it prescribe its procedures----
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Together with a copy of the Senate Joint Resolution No.
137 of the 88th Congress, first session, legislatively authorizing the
creation of the Commission?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes; there was.
Mr. JENNER. Pursuant to that Executive Order and the Senate joint
resolution, the Presidential Assassination Commission is investigating
all the facts and circumstances that it thinks are pertinent to the
assassination of the President and all the facts and circumstances
surrounding it and what led up to it or might have led up to it.
We have, from information which you have voluntarily furnished, and
from other sources, knowledge that you had contacts with the Oswalds
and with persons who, in turn, also had contacts with the Oswalds and
that you might be able to furnish some information which we think might
be helpful.
I am a member of the legal staff of the Commission which, you will
notice from the rules, a staff member is authorized to take depositions
here in Dallas and conduct the examination.
And you appear here voluntarily?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Now, your full name is Gary--[spelling] G-a-r-y E. Taylor?
Mr. TAYLOR. That's correct.
Mr. JENNER. What's your middle name?
Mr. TAYLOR. Edward.
Mr. JENNER. And you live in Fort Worth--is that correct, sir?
Mr. TAYLOR. No; I live in Dallas.
Mr. JENNER. Dallas? And your address in Dallas?
Mr. TAYLOR. 3948 Orlando Court, apartment 111.
Mr. JENNER. Are you a married man?
Mr. TAYLOR. Yes.
