United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Now Mr. Fleming, I think I have heretofore shown you a
document which purports to be a report of an interview of you on June
26, 1964, by FBI Agent W. James Wood, which I have marked for the
purpose of identification on the first page as follows, to wit: On
the right-hand margin “Dallas, Texas, July 13, 1964, Exhibit No. 1,
Deposition of Harold Fleming,” under which I have signed my name. The
document actually consists of five pages, and on the succeeding second,
third, fourth, and fifth pages I have placed my initials on the lower
right-hand corner, and also the fifth page only of five lines on it.
I think you have had an opportunity, sir, to read this document now
identified as Exhibit No. 1, is that a fact?
Mr. FLEMING. Yes, sir.
Mr. HUBERT. I ask you now whether or not this document is a fair and
correct report of the interview had between you and FBI Agent Wood?
Mr. FLEMING. Substantially that portrays the interview with some very
minor qualifications.
Mr. HUBERT. Now you have indicated to me that there are some minor
qualifications that you would like to note, and I turn now to page 2,
the first full paragraph. I notice that you have made a small notation
next to the sentence reading as follows: “Hall told me they were in
possession of employees Donald Goin and Ed Dietrich.” Do you have any
comment to make on that?
Mr. FLEMING. Just to state that the name of Donald Goin was not
mentioned in the conversation I had with Mr. Hall. The name of Ed
Dietrich was discussed.
Mr. HUBERT. I notice that in the last sentence of that same paragraph,
the sentence reading as follows: “Fleming said Donald Goin was
telephonically contacted by Hall and given similar instructions.” Do
you wish to comment on that?
Mr. FLEMING. I would say that I said Goin was apparently telephonically
contacted.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, you don’t know?
Mr. FLEMING. I was not aware that Goin had been contacted at the time.
Mr. HUBERT. Then I notice that on the first sentence of the last
paragraph on page 2 you also had a mark indicating that you wished to
comment upon it. I think your comment was with reference to a phrase
there about a conference breaking up. What was the comment you had?
Mr. FLEMING. Well, it was actually a conversation that we had at the
terminal. It was merely a matter of getting organized, and there was no
time for conferring. It was just decided what we were going to do. That
gives the inference that we may have had a long pow-wow. This was an
instantaneous decision.
Mr. HUBERT. Now I turn to page 3 and I notice that in the second or
middle paragraph of that page you have two lines, one I think with
reference to the first sentence which begins with the words “Hall
backed the truck ...” and ends with the words “... with the motor
running.” Was that the sentence? My question is, what comment do you
have to make with reference to that sentence?
