Mr. GERACI. I remember Carlos making out a check to give the money to Miami too. When I gave him the money, he put the money in his bank and made out a check to the headquarters. Mrs. GERACI. We met Carlos just now in the hall, and he told me the best thing Philip could do would be listen to his parents and be a good student. Right now that would be the way he could help combat communism. And I told him I thought he was too young to get involved in things like this, selling tickets for Cuba and all this stuff. Last year he was only 15 and too young to be involved in all that mess. The man at the FBI told me that an organization could be all right today and next week it would be Communist-controlled and how was I to know. Mr. LIEBELER. Do you know who you talked to at the FBI? Mrs. GERACI. Gee, I may have his name at home with these slips of paper that I took from him. Mr. LIEBELER. It is not really important. I just wondered if you remembered. Mrs. GERACI. Well, I wanted his name cleared for getting mixed up with Carlos, because I didn't know from beans about Carlos. He could be a Communist. I don't know who is and who isn't. When I found out he met Oswald, I nearly died. The week this happened he was camping with the Boy Scouts and gone Friday, Saturday, and Sunday when the stuff was on TV. Mr. GERACI. I was in school when he got shot. Mrs. GERACI. But you were in camp, but you didn't see a lot of the funeral and all that stuff showing Oswald's picture. Mr. LIEBELER. How did you first become aware that Oswald was the fellow you met? Did Vance talk to you about it? Do you remember? Mr. GERACI. The first time was when the FBI agent came to my house and asked did I see an ex-marine and showed a picture and all that. I didn't even know it before that. It was just then that I realized. Mr. LIEBELER. Did the FBI man tell you how he---- Mr. GERACI. Got my name? Mr. LIEBELER. What prompted him, why did he come to your house? Did he tell you? Mr. GERACI. Well, he said he couldn't tell me that. I asked him, and he said, well, he couldn't tell me. Of course, I guess it might have been because we--my mother called, you know, about this Cuban business--they got my name on their list or something, I guess, and when they found out that he tried to join that group, that must have been where it came from. That is what I think. Mrs. GERACI. They probably had a list of people who were collecting money for the organization. Mr. LIEBELER. OK, I don't have any more questions. I do want to thank you very much for coming in and being as cooperative as you have, and, on behalf of the Commission, I want to thank you very much. Mr. GERACI. OK. Mrs. GERACI. You are welcome, so long as we don't have any publicity. Mr. LIEBELER. That is something you never can guarantee. TESTIMONY OF VANCE BLALOCK
