United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Now, I think you have read this galley proof?
Captain KING. I have--yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Addressing ourselves now to pages 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11,
which is the body of your speech, would you say that this is a correct
report of what you said?
Captain KING. I’m sure it is--yes--as I said, I did not read this. I
had a prepared text there that I actually didn’t particularly follow.
I spoke more extemporaneously then, and I can’t remember exactly my
wordage on it, but there is nothing in there I think that I did not
say. There is nothing incorrect there.
Mr. HUBERT. Turning to page 17, it appears that a Mr. Black asked you
to comment on a point, and there is printed on this galley proof on
page 17 what purports to be your comment, and I think that you told me
that you wanted to make some correction as to that comment?
Captain KING. Only in one word only. My answer as listed on this----
Mr. HUBERT. On page 17?
Captain KING. On page 17--it is written here, “I think it probably
would be improper for me to comment on this even before the other
members of the panel,” and I think what I said there, and certainly
what I would have intended to say, is, “I think it probable that it
probably would be improper for me to comment on this even more than the
other members of the panel.”
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, your thought was that nobody should comment
on it, and you least of all?
Captain KING. Me least of all--yes.
Mr. HUBERT. On other pages there are comments that appeared by you and
I understand from what you tell me that these--this galley proof fairly
represents what is correct as to what you said, as far as you can
remember?
Captain KING. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Now, I would like the record to show that this galley proof
shows some corrections made apparently by some editorial process, and
at other places there are some apparent typewriter corrections and some
words changed or added by pen and ink and that these various changes
and comments were not made by me or by Captain King but are in the
same condition as were received by me from the American Association of
Newspaper Editors in this way, that by letter dated May 26, 1964. Mr.
Gene Giancarlo, G-i-a-n-c-a-r-l-o [spelling], addressed a letter to Mr.
Barefoot Sanders, U.S. attorney, enclosing this galley proof, and that
Mr. Sanders handed this to me this morning.
Captain KING. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. All of these comments being relative to Exhibit No. 4.
Captain King, is there anything you would like to add to what has been
said?
Captain KING. I think not.
Mr. HUBERT. Immediately prior to the beginning of this deposition, I
had a short conversation with you in which I showed you the various
documents that were introduced. The rules of the Commission require
that I now ask you if there was any discussion between us concerning
those documents or anything else that is not covered in the deposition?
Captain KING. I recall nothing that was said before that was not
covered after the deposition was begun.
