United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. What is your occupation, sir?
Mr. HUFFAKER. Radio television newsman.
Mr. HUBERT. How long have you been so occupied?
Mr. HUFFAKER. Well, I have been in radio and television for, excluding
a 6 months’ term in the Army, for 7 years.
Mr. HUBERT. How long have you been with KRLD?
Mr. HUFFAKER. I have been with KRLD since May 1963.
Mr. HUBERT. Were you with another television or radio station prior to
that time?
Mr. HUFFAKER. Yes; I was with KBTX-TV in Bryan.
Mr. HUBERT. Bryan, Tex.?
Mr. HUFFAKER. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. And how long were you with them?
Mr. HUFFAKER. I was with them for about 2½ years.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, on November 24, 1963, were you on duty with your
employer?
Mr. HUFFAKER. Yes, sir; I was.
Mr. HUBERT. Were you in the Dallas police basement?
Mr. HUFFAKER. Yes; I was.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, Mr. Huffaker, I have shown you two documents, the
first being a report of an interview with you on November 28, 1963, by
FBI Agents Hardin and Rawlings [spelling] R-a-w-l-i-n-g-s, which I have
marked for identification as “Dallas, Tex., April 16, 1964, Exhibit
5331, Deposition of R. S. Huffaker,” and I have signed my name on it.
Mr. HUFFAKER. Be sure that that’s “Jr.” because I’ve got a father with
the same name.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, I shall add that, and I have signed my name, and
since the document contains two pages, I have placed my initials on the
right-hand bottom of the second page.
The other document is also a report of an interview of you by FBI
Agents Pinkston [spelling] P-i-n-k-s-t-o-n, and Brown, on November 30,
1963, upon which I have endorsed the following, “Dallas, Tex., April
16, 1964, Exhibit 5332, deposition of R. S. Huffaker, Jr.”
I have signed my name below that and on the second page I have placed
my initials in the lower right-hand corner.
I now ask you if you have had an opportunity to read both of those
exhibits, numbers 5331 and 5332?
Mr. HUFFAKER. Yes, sir; I have.
Mr. HUBERT. Can you tell us whether those two exhibits are correct
reports of the interviews had with you by the FBI agents mentioned?
Mr. HUFFAKER. With a few very, very minor exceptions.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, will you take first the exhibit which has been
identified as No. 5331 and state what corrections you wish to be made
to that statement?
Mr. HUFFAKER. First of all, in the second line as it first appears
and in its subsequent appearances the call letters of my station are
incorrect. It should be--rather than KLRD--it should be KRLD.
Mr. HUBERT. And that’s true throughout the document, if it appears as
KLRD it should be KRLD?
Mr. HUFFAKER. Right--that’s correct.
Mr. HUBERT. Have you any other changes or corrections to make?
Mr. HUFFAKER. Well, just to be exactly specific, the last sentence in
the second paragraph.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, that sentence reads as follows: “He even noted they
were checking police automobiles parked in the area.” Now, addressing
yourself to that sentence, what comment do you wish to make?
