United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Mr. Phillips, you are going to be able to tell us after we
finish playing that at what point you began and at what point you ended?
Mr. PHILLIPS. Right.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Might I ask the reporter if it is possible for him to take
down the first couple of sentences so we will have for the record——
Mr. HUBERT. I don’t think it will be necessary if we can get into the
record its being at such a point in feet.
Mr. GRIFFIN. Can you indicate to use what the footage is?
Mr. PHILLIPS. I have the index at zero right now with the paper index
in the reel. When it is through I will be able to know how much, what
the index reads and I will have a paper index in the other roll and
that space in between is what we have played. I will identify that
section.
Mr. GRIFFIN. May I suggest, though, Mr. Hubert that if there is
any possibility that portions of this tape might be deleted or
retranscribed onto another tape that it would probably be best if we
did have an indication of the opening words that are on here so that it
can be located?
Mr. HUBERT. That is an extra precaution.
(The tape recording commenced with the following):
“What price in dollars of Cuba selling sugar to Russia, Russia sending
to Cuba 80 percent in machinery in Russia and 20 percent in dollars,”
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera——
(This is a Cuban or Spanish speaking voice.)
“Could you straighten out that point, are you or have you been a
Communist?”
“Yes; I am a Marxist.
“What is the difference.
“Well, the difference is primarily the difference between a country
like Ghana, Guiana, Yugoslavia, China, or Russia.”
(End of transcription.)
Mr. GRIFFIN. Can you tell us now, Mr. Crafard, whether after listening
to this recording you recognize any of the voices on the recording?
Mr. CRAFARD. No.
Mr. HUBERT. Mr. Phillips, I want the record to show where you began
and where you left off and we have the double check with the opening
sentences of the excerpt and the closing sentences so that we may have
a mechanical check as well, would you state for the record precisely
how this can be identified at a later point in time.
Mr. PHILLIPS. This section of the tape can be identified by paper index
tabs which have been inserted. Secondly, the index numerical index
reads 163 on this stereophonic concord tape recorder. The numerical
index reads 163 which means from the time the tape was played which was
on zero index, the tape distance went 163 inches.
Mr. HUBERT. Those paper tabs are temporary, aren’t they?
Mr. PHILLIPS. That is correct.
Mr. HUBERT. Is there a possibility of marking the tape in some way
without injuring it?
Mr. PHILLIPS. There would be.
Mr. HUBERT. So that there would be a permanent mark as to where the
paper tabs were?
Mr. PHILLIPS. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. Could you do that by making some sort of significant mark
with your initials?
Mr. PHILLIPS. Right.
Mr. HUBERT. All right. We will ask you to do that also.
Mr. PHILLIPS. All right.
