United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Well, I believe that is all. Do you have anything else you
want to say that you think is either pertinent or of interest to the
general inquiry?
Mr. FLEMING. I can’t think of anything.
Mr. HUBERT. I am sure we have not met before today?
Mr. FLEMING. That’s right.
Mr. HUBERT. We did have a short conversation off the record prior
to beginning the recordation of your testimony, but I ask you if it
is not a fact that everything that was discussed off the record was
subsequently discussed on the record?
Mr. FLEMING. It was.
Mr. HUBERT. All right, sir, thank you very much.
TESTIMONY OF DON EDWARD GOIN
The testimony of Don Edward Goin was taken at 7:10 p.m., on July 13,

Mr. Goin, my name is Leon Hubert. I am a member of the advisory
staff of the general counsel of the President’s Commission. Under
the provisions of Executive Order 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 that
Executive order and the joint resolution, I have been authorized to
take a sworn deposition from you, among others.
I say to you now that the general nature of the Commission’s inquiry
is to ascertain, evaluate and report upon the facts relevant to the
assassination of President Kennedy and the subsequent violent death of
Lee Harvey Oswald.
In particular as to you, Mr. Goin, 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 Mr. Goin, you appear today by virtue of a letter request made
to you by Mr. J. Lee Rankin, general counsel on the staff of the
President’s Commission. You received such notice?

Mr. GOIN. I received it Thursday.
Mr. HUBERT. That would have been the 9th?
Mr. GOIN. I believe so.
Mr. HUBERT. I think you have it in your hand there?
Mr. GOIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Does it bear a stamp that indicates the date?
Mr. GOIN. Mailed the 8th.

Mr. GOIN. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now will you stand and raise your hand and take the oath?
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give in this
matter will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
Mr. GOIN. I do.
