(Testimony of Louis D. Miller Resumed)

Mr. Griffin.
I am going to hand you what I have marked for purposes of identification as Miller Exhibits 5013 and 5014. Now, Exhibit 5013 is a copy of a report made by FBI Agents Wilkinson and Hardin of an interview that they had with you on December 3, 1963, and Exhibit 5014 is a copy of a statement that you made or a letter that you addressed to Chief Curry on November 26, 1963, entitled, "Subject: Shooting of Harvey Oswald." I am going to ask you to take these and go out into the other office and look them over and then let me know whether there are any. additions, corrections, changes of any sort that

you would want to make in those. ( Recess. )
Mr. Griffin.
For your purposes, Mr. Ward, may I say that we have Mr. L. D. Miller hack with us. And have you had a chance to look over Exhibits 5013 and 5014 ?
Mr. Miller.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
To your recollection, are those accurate reports of--looking at 5013, the FBI report, is that an accurate report of what you told the FBI at that time?
Mr. Miller.
Well, there is part of it in here that is a little confusing. It could mean one thing and then it could mean another. Now--
Mr. GRIFFIN. Do you remember that interview?
Mr. MILLER. Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
And are you able to state from your memory whether that is an accurate report of what you told them at that time?
Mr. Miller.
There is one part in here. Let me find it. It was, when the officers were sent to the ramp area prior to Oswald being brought down, there were officers stationed on both sides of the ramp. The officers that came down
were stationed on both sides of the ramp. I don't recall telling the FBI that there were already officers stationed there.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. Let me see if there was some way you can mark that on there. Where is this?
Mr. Miller.
Right here.
Mr. Griffin.
Would you want to take this, take my pen, and amend that so that it reflects what your best recollection is that you told them at that time?
Mr. Miller.
Let's see. Where do you want me to put it?
Mr. Griffin.
You can either write it down below
Mr. Miller.
The whole thing would have to be reworded. This like this makes more sense to me what I told them.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. You have written there, "The officers that were sent to the ramp area prior to Oswald being brought down were stationed on both sides of the ramp." Were you present when the instructions were given to the officers generally as to where to go ?
Mr. Miller.
To line up on both sides.
Mr. Griffin.
Yes?
Mr. Miller.
Of the ramp area where Oswald was to be brought through.
Mr. Griffin.
Yes. Were you present at that time?
Mr. Miller.
Yes.
Mr. Griffin.
Who gave those instructions?
Mr. Miller.
I don't know.
Mr. Griffin.
Do you remember what you were told to do, if anything, when Oswald got to you?
Mr. Miller.
I wasn't told what to do.
Mr. Griffin.
Now, are there any other corrections that you want to make in that?
Mr. Miller.
Yes. "Miller said he had no other pertinent information concerning the shooting of Oswald." I wasn't asked if I had any more information to give to them. I answered their questions, the questions they asked me. They did not ask me if I had any other pertinent information to add.
Mr. Griffin.
All right. Would you change that on there, then, and state, cross that out, and put something through there and say, "I was not asked if I had pertinent information"? Now, did you in fact at that time have pertinent information, other than what they asked you about?
Mr. Miller.
None that I knew of. It is like now. It could be possible that
