United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. But if we know all that you know, then that's all right.
Mr. DECKER. That's right--so, there is no reason of going over it.
Mr. HUBERT. Is it your thought that considering your testimony here
today and what you have told the FBI and your records----
Mr. DECKER. And my records that I have given to you--turned over to
you and what my other deputies have given to you, I don't know of any
reason to take up any more of your time, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, thank you very much.
Mr. DECKER. I will be delighted to have you come and see my operation
before you leave and it might clear up some things there for you.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, thank you.
Mr. DECKER. Thank you.
TESTIMONY OF CAPT. W. B. FRAZIER
The testimony of Capt. W. B. Frazier was taken at 2 p.m., on March 25,
1964, in the office of the U.S. attorney, 301 Post Office Building,
Bryan and Ervay Streets, Dallas, Tex., by Mr. Leon D. Hubert, Jr.,
assistant counsel of the President's Commission.
Mr. HUBERT. This is the deposition of Capt. W. B. Frazier, Dallas
Police Department. Captain Frazier, my name is Leon Hubert. I am a
member of the advisory staff of the general counsel on the President's
Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy.
Captain FRAZIER. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Under the provisions of President Johnson's Executive
Order No. 11130, dated November 29, 1963, and the Joint Resolution
of Congress No. 137, and the rules of procedure adopted by the
President's Commission in conformance with the Executive order and the
joint resolution, I have been authorized to take a sworn deposition
from you, among many officers of the detective bureau. Your name
has been specifically mentioned as a person from whom I could take
a sworn deposition. 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. In particular as to you,
Captain Frazier, the nature of the inquiry today is to determine what
facts you know about the death of Oswald and any other pertinent facts
you may know about the general inquiry. Now, Captain, you have appeared
here today by virtue of a letter addressed to Chief Curry by Mr. J.
Lee Rankin, who is the general counsel for the President's Commission.
Under the rules adopted by the Commission every witness is entitled
to a 3-day written notice prior to the taking of his deposition. The
rules also provide, however, that if the witness wishes he may waive
the 3-day notice in writing. I say to you that you have a right to the
3-day notice, which you have not received, but I ask you if you wish to
waive that 3 day----
Captain FRAZIER. No.
Mr. HUBERT. You don't wish----
Captain FRAZIER. Oh, I will waive it.
Mr. HUBERT. You do not wish to persist in your right to have the 3-day
notice?
Captain FRAZIER. No.
