United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Was it signed by you?
Mr. LEAVELLE. No; it was not--well, wait a minute now. I believe there
was one copy which was, but probably the original that--now, this looks
like a mimeographed----
Mr. HUBERT. Mimeographed or photographed--one of those. Have you read
it?
Mr. LEAVELLE. Yes, sir; I have read it. In fact, here is a copy of it.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you have a copy in your possession right now?
Mr. LEAVELLE. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Is it correct?
Mr. LEAVELLE. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I notice the fourth paragraph on the first page, when
you state that you had suggested the transfer be via the first floor
of the Main Street door, and that is a recordation of that thought
made--when was this dictated?
Mr. LEAVELLE. When was this dictated?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes.
Mr. LEAVELLE. It was, what you might say, some 2 or 3 days after that,
after the shooting. I don’t recall the exact date.
Mr. HUBERT. Well, would you----
Mr. LEAVELLE. In from 2 or 3 days afterward.
Mr. HUBERT. Would you complete the identification of this document by
placing your signature directly below mine on the first page and your
initials below mine on the second page? Did you state that fact to the
FBI, sir?
Mr. LEAVELLE. I don’t recall whether I did or not.
Mr. HUBERT. I don’t believe it is in either of the other two documents
of the FBI that I have here, 5088, or 5089. Is there any reason why you
didn’t?
Mr. LEAVELLE. Well, to the best of my knowledge it seems as though
I might have made that suggestion, made the reference to that, but
whether whoever was taking it said that they didn’t need it in their
report. I’m sure that’s--now, of course, I can’t swear to this, but
I think that is correct because I know I--I am not able to recall at
this time exactly what the conversation was between myself and the
agent--I--in this, in its entirety, I do know there was one or two
things that I told them about, which they did say that they didn’t
think was necessary for their report, so, they did not put it in there.
Now, whether that was one of them or not, I do not recall.
Mr. HUBERT. On the occasion that you think that you might have stated
that to the FBI agent, was there one agent interviewing you, or two?
Mr. LEAVELLE. I believe at one time the two were interviewing me.
Mr. HUBERT. How many interviews have you had with the FBI?
Mr. LEAVELLE. Twice. Mr. Bookhout was out, and then Mr. Bookhout
interviewed me on the morning after the shooting, I believe. Is that
correct?
Mr. HUBERT. Dated November 24.
Mr. LEAVELLE. Twenty-fourth.
Mr. HUBERT. That would be the day of the shooting?
Mr. LEAVELLE. Yes, that is what I mean, and then the other one was
sometime after or with the two agents?
Mr. HUBERT. And you think it was during the interrogation by the two
agents on December 10, 1963, that you mentioned about your suggestion
that the route should be through the first floor of the Main Street
entrance of the municipal building coming out the Main Street door?
