United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. I notice that this Exhibit 5107 contains information about
the minimum standards that are required?
Mr. SOLOMON. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. For admission and maintaining the status of a reserve
officer, is that correct?
Mr. SOLOMON. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Can you state that these minimum standards are in force?
Mr. SOLOMON. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. One other question. Can you state that the reserve officers
that were on duty on the 24th did meet these minimum standards?
Mr. SOLOMON. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you have anything else to say?
Mr. SOLOMON. Well, I don't suppose you want to know that we had some on
duty during the Presidential Parade? Is that important?
Mr. HUBERT. It might be in another aspect of the matter, but the one I
am inquiring about, it is not. However, I am sure that the information
that you have given me, generally speaking, should be made a part of
the record, and that is why I have done that. Thank you very much, sir.
Mr. SOLOMON. You are so welcome.
Mr. HUBERT. I appreciate your coming down.
Mr. SOLOMON. All right. Thank you very much, sir.

Mr. HUBERT. This is the deposition of Assistant Deputy Chief M. W.

Mr. Stevenson, my name Leon Hubert. I am a member of the advisory

adopted by the Commission in conformance with the Executive order and
the joint resolution, I have been authorized to take a sworn deposition
from you.
Mr. Stevenson, I state to you now, that the general nature of the
Commission's inquiry is to ascertain, evaluate, and report upon the
facts relating to the assassination of President Kennedy and the
subsequent violent death of Lee Harvey Oswald, and in particular as to
you, Mr. Stevenson, the nature of the inquiry today is to determine
what facts you know about the death of Oswald and any other pertinent
facts that you may know about the general inquiry.
Mr. Stevenson, you have appeared here today by virtue of a general
request made by the general counsel of the staff of the President's
Commission.
Under the rules adopted by the Commission, you are entitled to a 3-day
written notice prior to the taking of this deposition. But the rules
provide also that a witness may waive this notice of the taking of his
deposition. Are you willing to waive this notice in time?
Mr. STEVENSON. I am; yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, will you rise and be sworn, please.
