United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. RANKIN. You are also entitled to have your counsel here, as you
have, and during the examination, if he has any objection to any
questions or wants to have a recess so that he may talk with you, of
course, he may. At the close of your testimony, if there is something
that he would like to examine you about so as to clarify anything that
you said or give you an opportunity to correct or to change it, that is
provided for, too. Do you have any questions before we start?
Mr. WATTS. Mr. Rankin, I think that it should show on the record
that this is a voluntary appearance, that Mr. Dobbs volunteered what
information he had and offered to come if you chose to have him.
Mr. RANKIN. Yes; we wish to have that on the record.
Did you produce the information that was requested of you?
Mr. DOBBS. Yes; I turned it over to Mr. Watts, and he forwarded it to
you.
Mr. RANKIN. Do you have from the Militant files the 4-month
introductory subscription blank stamped September 17, 1962?
Mr. WATTS. Yes; we offer it.
Mr. RANKIN. Will you mark that as Exhibit 1.
(Marked Dobbs' Exhibit No. 1.)
Mr. RANKIN. Do you have the 4-month renewal blank stamped May 28, 1963?
Mr. WATTS. Yes; we offer that.
Mr. RANKIN. Mark that Exhibit 2, please.
(Marked Dobbs' Exhibit No. 2.)
Mr. RANKIN. Do you have the Addressograph plate for Lee H. Oswald?
Mr. WATTS. Yes; we offer that.
Mr. RANKIN. Mark that Exhibit 3, please.
(Marked Dobbs' Exhibit No. 3.)
Mr. RANKIN. And from the Pioneer Publishers' files--I failed to ask you
for the change of address notice postmarked June 12, 1963, and November
12, 1963. Do you have those?
Mr. WATTS. Yes; I offer them.
Mr. RANKIN. Mark those Exhibits 4 and 5 respectively.
(Marked Dobbs' Exhibits Nos. 4 and 5.)
Mr. RANKIN. Do you have from the Pioneer Publishers' files an order
for the Teachings of Leon Trotsky and a cash memo dated May 8, 1962,
indicating that 25 cents had been received?
Mr. WATTS. Yes; we have that, and with them is a carbon copy of a
letter from Pioneer Publishers, dated September 28, 1963, and a
canceled envelope postmarked January 2, I believe, 1963, to Pioneer
Publishers from Lee Oswald, and we offer all of those.
Mr. RANKIN. Thank you.
Mr. WATTS. In addition, from Pioneer Publishers, we have a letter from
Lee Oswald with a date January 1, the year not identified, ordering
"The Coming American Revolution," "The End of the Comintern," and "The
1948 Manifesto of the Fourth Internationale," indicating that 35
cents is enclosed and requesting the English words of the song "The
Internationale," and attached is a receipt or a cash memo of Pioneer
Publishers, indicating that 35 cents was received.
Mr. RANKIN. Mark that No. 7.
(Marked Dobbs' Exhibit No. 7.)
Mr. WATTS. We also have a carbon copy of a letter dated April 26, 1963,
to Mr. Oswald, setting forth the English words of The Internationale. I
believe that is all we have from Pioneer Publishers.
