TESTIMONY OF PAMELA MUMFORD
The testimony of Pamela Mumford was taken at 12:30 p.m., on May 19,
1964, at 611 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, Calif., by Mr. Joseph A.

accompanied by her attorney, Mr. C. C. Dillavou.
Pamela Mumford, called as a witness herein, having been first duly
sworn, was examined and testified as follows:
Mr. BALL. You received a letter, didn't you, from Mr. Rankin, as
counsel for the Commission, advising you that we would request you to
give your deposition?
Miss MUMFORD. Yes; that's right.
Mr. BALL. And you also received a copy of the joint resolution of
the Congress, didn't you, authorizing the Commission to proceed to
investigate the facts concerning the assassination of President Kennedy?
Miss MUMFORD. Yes.
Mr. BALL. And you willingly give your deposition today, do you not?
Miss MUMFORD. I do.
Mr. BALL. To tell us all the facts that you might know to assist us in
this investigation?
Miss MUMFORD. Right.
Mr. BALL. Your name is Pamela Mumford?
Miss MUMFORD. Right.
Mr. BALL. Where do you live?
Miss MUMFORD. 153 North New Hampshire Avenue, Los Angeles 4.
Mr. BALL. What is your occupation?
Miss MUMFORD. Secretary.

Miss MUMFORD. Right.
Mr. BALL. That is in a building at 6th and Grand, Los Angeles, Calif.?
Miss MUMFORD. Right.
Mr. BALL. Now, because of the fact that you will not appear before the
Commission, and the members of the Commission will have to read this
deposition, they would like to know something about you: Where you were
born, your education. So, just go ahead and tell me all you can about
yourself.
Miss MUMFORD. Well, I was born in the Fiji Islands in 1941, and my
father was transferred to Australia in 1951. I was brought up and went
to school in Australia until 1961.
And then I traveled to England, where I worked for a period of a year.
I went to Europe and then I obtained a working visa to come to the
United States.
I worked in New York for 8 months and then my friend and I traveled
through the United States and Mexico on our way to Los Angeles where we
intended to remain.
Mr. BALL. Now, what was your friend's name?
Miss MUMFORD. Patricia Winston.
Mr. BALL. And she left Australia with you, did she?
