United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. GERACI. A letter? No.
Mr. LIEBELER. You did not receive a letter from Mr. Rankin?
Mrs. GERACI. Would you please give us one. We would like to have it to
keep.
Mr. GERACI. Somebody said they sent one.
Mr. LIEBELER. You didn't receive it?
Mr. GERACI. No.
Mrs. GERACI. We did not receive it.
Mr. LIEBELER. Now I think in point of fact that is right. I think that
the decision to take your testimony was made subsequent to the time
that the letters were sent out to other witnesses. Now you are----
Mrs. GERACI. May I make a statement before we go any further?
Mr. LIEBELER. Let the record indicate that Mrs. Geraci is in the
hearing room at her request to assist her son and give moral support.
Mrs. GERACI. And we want no publicity at all, please.
Mr. LIEBELER. We have already given to the reporters the names of some
of the witnesses who came in, but we have already been advised that
you did not want any publicity at this point, and we did not give your
name to the newspaper reporter or make any statement about Philip's
appearance here.
Mr. GERACI. Does that mean I can't tell anyone about it?
Mr. LIEBELER. That is something you can settle among yourselves.
Mr. GERACI. I told everybody I went to a doctor's appointment this
evening.
Mr. LIEBELER. [Handing documents to witness] Now I want to give you a
copy of the Joint Resolution of Congress and of the Executive order
that I have just referred to, and also of the Rules of Practice adopted
by the Commission concerning the taking of testimony of witnesses.
Those rules provide that technically you are entitled to 3 days' notice
before you appear to have your testimony taken, but you are entitled to
waive that notice, and I assume that, since you are here, you would be
willing to waive it with regard to the testimony. Is that right, Philip?
Mr. GERACI. I don't know.
Mrs. GERACI. Yes. Well, they did not notify us 3 days ahead of time,
but that is all right. We are here. They called yesterday.
Mr. LIEBELER. You have indicated that you are willing to go ahead with
the testimony instead of waiting for the 3 days' notice?
(Mrs. Geraci nodded assent.)
Mr. LIEBELER. Philip, would you state your full name for the record,
please?
Mr. GERACI. Philip Geraci, the Third.
Mr. LIEBELER. What is your address?
Mr. GERACI. 2201 Green Acres Road.
Mr. LIEBELER. New Orleans?
Mr. GERACI. Metairie.
Mr. LIEBELER. When were you born?
Mr. GERACI. February 21, 1948.
Mr. LIEBELER. So you are now about 16 years old or 17 years old?
Mr. GERACI. Yes. Well, I am 16.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you go to school?
Mr. GERACI. Yes, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. Where?
Mr. GERACI. East Jefferson High School.
Mr. LIEBELER. And you are--what?--a junior there now, or a senior?
Mr. GERACI. No, sophomore, 10th grade.
Mr. LIEBELER. 10th grade. Do you know a man by the name of Carlos
Bringuier?
Mr. GERACI. Yes, sir.
Mr. LIEBELER. When did you first meet him?
