United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. I am going to mark for identification a document purporting
to be a report of an interview with you, Captain Solomon, made by FBI
Agents Hughes and Mabey on December 9, 1963, composed of two pages,
and I am identifying it by marking along the right margin line,
"Dallas, Texas, March 26, 1964, Exhibit 5106, Deposition of Capt. J.
M. Solomon," and I am signing my name on the first page and putting on
the second page my initials in the lower right-hand corner. Captain
Solomon, have you read this document?
Mr. SOLOMON. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. So that we may recognize that we are talking about the same
thing, would you put your signature at the bottom and your initials on
the second page.
Mr. SOLOMON. I don't think that this is what I did awhile ago. You want
my initials here?
Mr. HUBERT. Just write by the margin and initials by the second page.
Mr. SOLOMON. [Signs and dates.]
Mr. HUBERT. Now, you have read that document, I think, Captain?
Mr. SOLOMON. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Is that a correct report of your interview with the FBI
Agents?
Mr. SOLOMON. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Is there anything that is omitted or that you want to
change, or modify?
Mr. SOLOMON. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Captain, do you know anything about this matter other than
what we have talked about, that you would like to put into the record,
sir?
Mr. SOLOMON. No, sir; I do not.
Mr. HUBERT. All right. Now, have you been interviewed by any member of
the Commission staff?
Mr. SOLOMON. No.
Mr. HUBERT. As a matter of fact, before the commencement of this
deposition, I did not interview you?
Mr. SOLOMON. No.
Mr. HUBERT. I think, Captain, that I mentioned the word "pistol" a
moment ago in connection with arming of the reserves?
Mr. SOLOMON. Did you? I didn't recall it.
Mr. HUBERT. You indicated to me that actually these men are not armed
with firearms?
Mr. SOLOMON. No; they are not armed. Would you want to make part--this
part of the record? This is what I call an information sheet about what
the reserve is. A lot of times a citizen calls me and wants to know
something about it, and I mail them that.
(Hands to Mr. Hubert.)
Mr. HUBERT. All right. I will accept this. I will mark on the front
page, Dallas, Tex., March 26, 1964, Exhibit 5107. You call that a
brochure?
Mr. SOLOMON. I call it an information sheet. We generally refer to it
as a poop sheet.
Mr. HUBERT. I am writing on this sheet, "Exhibit 5107, deposition of
Capt. J. M. Solomon." I am signing my name, and for identification, if
you will sign yours?
Mr. SOLOMON. Yes. That just gives a little more detail than what I told
you about it, and I had forgotten that. That might be important that
they are not armed. That is why we don't let them work in any capacity
unless they are in the company of an officer.
Mr. HUBERT. On the day in question, to wit, the 24th of November 1963,
the reserve officers were in uniform but of course not armed?
Mr. SOLOMON. That's right.
