United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Lieutenant REVILL. Interviews, as such, no. Most of the officers had
submitted written reports as to their specific duties on the morning of
November 24, 1963.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know when that was done?
Lieutenant REVILL. I presume that it was done on the date of the
shooting and immediately thereafter.
Mr. HUBERT. Isn't it a fact, as I recall it, that the individual
reports made by every officer who was in the basement more or less
followed a form in the sense that they were submitted a list of
questions, at least they had to answer that much, and they could,
perhaps, go further if they wanted to?
Lieutenant REVILL. I believe the form letter you make reference to
was given to the police reserve officers. These are the people that I
devoted my efforts toward, the police reserve, but Lieutenant Cornwall
and I, our duty was to interview these reserve policemen.
Lieutenant McCaghren, O. A. Jones and Wallace interviewed the sworn
officers.
Mr. HUBERT. By the way, where is Cornwall now?
Lieutenant REVILL. He is in Louisville, Ky., at the Southern Police
Institute. He left a week ago.
Mr. HUBERT. And I understand that he is going to be there----
Lieutenant REVILL. 3 months.
Mr. HUBERT. 3 months?
Lieutenant REVILL. Now, Lieutenant Cornwall and I were together
throughout the existence of this committee.
Mr. HUBERT. Are you familiar with the document entitled, "Investigation
of the Operation and Security Involved on the Transfer of Lee Harvey
Oswald, on November 24, 1963," which I now show you?
Lieutenant REVILL. Yes, sir; I am.
Mr. HUBERT. Let the record show that I am showing Lieutenant Revill, a
document which has been identified as Commission's Report 81-A. Are you
familiar with the letter of transmittal of this report dated December
16th, 1963, which is at the first part of the report, and runs for 11
pages, signed by Sawyer, Westbrook, and Jones?
Lieutenant REVILL. Yes, sir; I am.
Mr. HUBERT. I believe that this report, in its very last paragraph,
says that you have read it and concur?
Lieutenant REVILL. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Some of the reports in there are actually signed by you?
Lieutenant REVILL. Yes, sir; that's correct.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you know an officer, a reserve officer by the name of
Mayo?
Lieutenant REVILL. Mayo?
Mr. HUBERT. Lamar Mayo. I think his civilian employment is in--he is an
accountant or chief of credit department of Sears, Roebuck here.
Lieutenant REVILL. This is R. L. Mayo?
Mr. HUBERT. It could be R. L. Mayo.
Lieutenant REVILL. I looked here and I found a copy of an interview of
a reserve officer, Sgt. R. L. Mayo, signed by myself and Lieutenant
Cornwall.
Mr. HUBERT. Lamar W.?
Lieutenant REVILL. We do have an L. W. Mayo. It is possible that we
made an error on this up here, the girl----
Mr. HUBERT. It is L. W. Mayo, I think.
