United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. JENNER. General counsel for the Commission, with which he enclosed
a copy of the legislation, Senate Joint Resolution 137, authorizing the
creation of this Commission?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. A copy of President Johnson's Executive Order No. 11130
which created the Commission?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And fixed its scope and its powers and its duties and
responsibilities, which in general are to investigate the circumstances
surrounding leading up to, and involving the assassination of President
John Fitzgerald Kennedy?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And, also, a copy of the rules and regulations of the
Commission under which depositions are taken?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And you understand from all those papers that the
Commission is interviewing people who had, fortunately, or
unfortunately, touched the life of Lee Harvey Oswald and others?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And we had understood and as has now been revealed you did
have a connection with or some connection with the Oswalds?
Mrs. GIBSON. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Which you have now elucidated.
I am Albert E. Jenner, Jr., one of the members of the legal staff of
the Commission, and Mr. Mosk, who was present earlier, likewise is a
member. Now, having in mind the objects and purposes and duties of
the Commission, is there anything that occurs to you that you would
like to add that you think would be helpful to the Commission in its
investigation of this subject?
Mrs. GIBSON. No.
Mr. JENNER. All right, that is all I have, and I appreciate very much
your coming here today. I know it is a considerable inconvenience.
