(Testimony of Robert S. , Jr. Huffaker)

Mr. Hubert.
Do you solemnly swear the testimony you are about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. Huffaker.
I do.
Mr. Hubert.
Will you state your name, please?
Mr. Huffaker.
Robert S. Huffaker, Jr.
Mr. Hubert.
How old are you, sir?
Mr. Huffaker.
I am 27.
Mr. Hubert.
What is your residence?
Mr. Huffaker.
My residence is 4700 Eastside Avenue.
Mr. Hubert.
Dallas?
Mr. Huffaker.
Apartment 121, Dallas, and it has changed since these statements were made.
Mr. Hubert.
What is your occupation, sir?
Mr. Huffaker.
Radio television newsman.
Mr. Hubert.
How long have you been so occupied?
Mr. Huffaker.
Well, I have been in radio and television for, excluding a 6 months' term in the Army, for 7 years.
Mr. Hubert.
How long have you been with KRLD?
Mr. Huffaker.
I have been with KRLD since May 1963.
Mr. Hubert.
Were you with another television or radio station prior to that time?
Mr. Huffaker.
Yes; I was with KBTX-TV in Bryan.
Mr. Hubert.
Bryan, Tex.?
Mr. Huffaker.
Yes.
Mr. Hubert.
And how long were you with them?
Mr. Huffaker.
I was with them for about 2 1/2 years.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, on November PA, 1963, were you on duty with your employer?
Mr. Huffaker.
Yes, sir; I was.
Mr. Hubert.
Were you in the Dallas police basement?
Mr. Huffaker.
Yes; I was.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, Mr. Huffaker, I have shown you two documents, the first being a report of an interview with you on November 28, 1963, by FBI Agents Hardin and Rawlings [spelling] R-a-w-l-i-n-g-s, which I have marked for identification as "Dallas, Tex., April 16, 1964, Exhibit 5331, Deposition of R. S. Huffaker," and I have signed my name on it.
Mr. Huffaker.
Be sure that that's "Jr." because I've got a father with the same name.
Mr. Hubert.
All right, I shall add that, and I have signed my name, and since the document contains two pages, I have placed my initials on the right-hand bottom of the second page.
The other document is also a report of an interview of you by FBI Agents Pinkston [spelling] P-i-n-k-s-t-o-n, and Brown, on November 30, 1963, upon which I have endorsed the following, "Dallas, Tex, April 16, 1964, Exhibit 5332, deposition of R. S. Huffaker, Jr."
I have signed my name below that and on the second page I have placed my initials in the lower right-hand corner.
I now ask you if you have had an opportunity to read both of those exhibits, numbers 5331 and 5332?
Mr. Huffaker.
Yes, sir; I have.
Mr. Hubert.
Can you tell us whether those two exhibits are correct reports of the interviews had with you by the FBI agents mentioned?
Mr. Huffaker.
With a few very, very minor exceptions.
Mr. Hubert.
All right, will you take first the exhibit which has been identified as No. 5331 and state what corrections you wish to be made to that statement?
Mr. Huffaker.
First of all, in the second line as it first appears and in its subsequent appearances the call letters of my station are incorrect. It should be---rather than KLRD--it should be KRLD.
Mr. Hubert.
And that's true throughout the document, if it appears as KLRD it should be KRLD?
Mr. Huffaker.
Right--that's correct.
Mr. Hubert.
Have you any other changes or corrections to make?
