United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. BLALOCK. He seemed like a very intelligent man to me, well spoken,
looked well dressed, well groomed.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you think anything else about him, or is that about
it?
Mr. BLALOCK. That is the impression that I got right at the moment.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he say anything about Florida?
Mr. BLALOCK. Just mentioned the Cuban anti-Castro organization there.
Mr. LIEBELER. What did he say about that?
Mr. BLALOCK. I don't remember exactly, but I think he said he had been
there and he had looked into it. I couldn't say for sure on that.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he mention the name of the organization?
Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir. No, I don't recall any name.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you remember being interviewed about this subject by
an FBI agent?
Mr. BLALOCK. Yes, sir; I do, during the Christmas holidays.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you remember his name?
Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir; I don't. All I know is a Lieutenant or something
like that.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you think you would remember his name if I mentioned
it to you?
Mr. BLALOCK. I might, or my mother might. She was present.
Mr. LIEBELER. Your mother was present when you were interviewed by the
FBI?
Mr. BLALOCK. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Would it refresh your recollection if I told you that the
report that I have of the interview that you had with the FBI agent
indicates that the man's name was Kevin J. Herrigan?
Mr. BLALOCK. Herrigan? No. No; I don't remember that name.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you remember talking to the FBI agent about Oswald's
remark concerning having been to Florida?
Mr. BLALOCK. No, sir; I don't remember what I told the FBI agent. I
don't remember anything about Oswald saying--only that I think he said
he had been there.
Mr. LIEBELER. Well, the report that I have here says that you seemed
to remember Oswald mentioning something about having recently visited
something called the Casa Nostra, C-a-s-a N-o-s-t-r-a. Do you remember
saying anything about that to the FBI man?
Mr. BLALOCK. Yes, sir; I remember mentioning the organization, but I
couldn't remember the name. That organization was mentioned in the
conversation with Carlos Bringuier and Harvey Oswald.
Mr. LIEBELER. It was?
Mr. BLALOCK. I believe so.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you remember that it was Oswald who mentioned it?
Mr. BLALOCK. I don't remember which one mentioned it first.
Mr. LIEBELER. And it was mentioned as being a Cuban organization in
Florida? Is that your recollection?
Mr. BLALOCK. Yes, sir; I think that is the name they mentioned. It
could be something similar. I know I got this Mafia name mixed up with
a Cuban organization name.
Mr. LIEBELER. Well, you know that that name that I just mentioned, Casa
Nostra, is very similar to the Cosa Nostra. Do you think you may have
been confused at the time you talked with him?
Mr. BLALOCK. Well, I meant the Cuban organization. I may have said the
Mafia, the Cosa Nostra.
Mr. LIEBELER. You may have used that name?
Mr. BLALOCK. But I meant the Cuban----
