United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. LIEBELER. Carlos didn't seem to open up to Oswald?
Mr. GERACI. That is right. He opened up enough, you know, but he didn't
give him any speeches or anything like that.
Mr. LIEBELER. If you can think of anything else that occurred, we would
like to have you tell us.
Mr. GERACI. OK.
Mr. LIEBELER. If you can't, I don't have any other questions.
Mr. GERACI. He did seem like--I guess he did seem like the type who was
a little antisocial.
Mr. LIEBELER. He didn't seem to be too friendly?
Mr. GERACI. No. He seemed friendly. I mean, he seemed friendly, you
know, but he--maybe like he didn't have enough experience with people,
sort of. He seemed friendly though. That is one thing.
Mr. LIEBELER. I don't have any other questions.
Mrs. GERACI. Do you have a record of me reporting Carlos to the FBI? Do
you have that in the record anywhere where I found out--he told me he
was going to collect money for Cuba, but I didn't know he was giving
out these little tickets as he called them, and then when I found out
he had collected $10 and brought it down and I saw the receipts and he
had more tickets, we forbade him to go down there, and Carlos called
the house to try to get him a--what is it--a license or permit to go
from house to house and collect money.
Mr. GERACI. He never called me.
Mrs. GERACI. He did call me.
Mr. GERACI. He called you? Carlos?
Mrs. GERACI. I spoke with him on the phone.
Mr. GERACI. That is because I told him--when I collected, a man told me
to do something like that, that I needed a license, so I went and told
Carlos, "You have to get a license." He said, "Don't collect any more
until I get one." Then he went to city hall and got some stuff he had
to fill out.
Mr. LIEBELER. This wasn't Oswald who told you you couldn't collect?
Mr. GERACI. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Oswald didn't have anything to do with this?
Mr. GERACI. No; this was before I knew Oswald. This is a man works some
place--who works in a cleaner's, I remember. I went there and he said
I had to get a license to do that, so I called Carlos on the phone and
told him.
Mrs. GERACI. Then when Carlos called the house, I realized he was still
involved in this.
Mr. GERACI. I told you I was.
Mrs. GERACI. I put my foot down and told him he couldn't do it any
more, and I called the FBI.
Mr. GERACI. And the Better Business Bureau.
Mrs. GERACI. They told me to call the Better Business Bureau, but the
man at the FBI told me he couldn't give out any information as to
whether this was a Communist organization or not, and the headquarters
were in Miami, and the best thing to do would be not to let him get
involved in it any more. Then I called the Better Business Bureau, and
they were supposed to check with Miami, but I never did get a report
back from him.
Mr. LIEBELER. Was this before or after you met Oswald?
Mr. GERACI. This was before.
Mrs. GERACI. But he has the receipt at home with the date on it. When
he gave Carlos money, Carlos gave him a receipt.
