(Testimony of Lyndal L. Shaneyfelt)

Mr. Redlich.
retouching which had been performed on this photograph prior to its publication in Newsweek magazine.
I may add that during the course of that prior testimony the page from Newsweek containing a reproduction of that photograph was introduced into evidence as Shaneyfelt Exhibit No. 5.
Having reviewed the correspondence between the Commission and Newsweek, Inc., I ask you whether you have anything to add to or any testimony which you would like to correct having compared the Newsweek correspondence and your prior testimony?
Mr. Shaneyfelt.
No; I have nothing to add or nothing to correct. I find the correspondence from Newsweek to be consistent with my prior testimony.
(Shaneyfelt Exhibits Nos. 17, 18, and 19 were marked and introduced.)
Mr. Redlich.
Mr. Shaneyfelt, I now hand you a letter from the New York Times addressed to Mr. J. Lee Rankin, which has been marked as Shaneyfelt Exhibit No. 17, and also hand you a photograph furnished by the New York Times which has been designated as Shaneyfelt Exhibit No. 18, and some printed material designated as Shaneyfelt Exhibit No. 19, also furnished by the New York Times, which is a caption and other descriptive material concerning this photograph as used by the New York Times when the photograph was published.
I also wish to point out for the record that the reproduction of the New York Times photograph has previously been designated as Shaneyfelt Exhibit No. 6 and was discussed by you on pages 416 and 417 of volume 7 of the hearings of this Commission.
Have you had an opportunity to review this letter from the New York Times to Mr. Rankin?
Mr. Shaneyfelt.
Yes; I have.
Mr. Redlich.
Do you find that the letter from the New York Times is consistent with the testimony you have previously given concerning the retouching which was performed by the New York Times preparatory to the publication of this photograph?
Mr. Shaneyfelt.
Yes; I do.
Mr. Redlich.
Is there anything that you would like to add to or correct in your previous testimony in connection with this photograph?
Mr. Shaneyfelt.
No; I have nothing to add or correct. I find the correspondence and photograph to be entirely consistent with my previous testimony.
Mr. Redlich.
And through all of your examination of the retouching that was performed on the photograph which has been designated as Commission Exhibit No. 133-A, you are still of the opinion that all of the pictures which have been published and which you have identified, were copies of Commission Exhibit No. 133-A, with the retouching performed as you have heretofore described?
Mr. Shaneyfelt.
That is correct.
Mr. Redlich.
Mr. Shaneyfelt, the record of the testimony before this Commission will show that in Commission Exhibit No. 133-A Lee Harvey Oswald , appears to be holding two newspapers.

The Commission asked the FBI, did it not, to examine Commission Exhibit No. 133-A in order to determine the exact issues of the publications which appear in the right hand of Lee Harvey Oswald in Commission Exhibit No. 133-A, is that correct?
Mr. Shaneyfelt.
That is right.
Mr. Redlich.
Did you perform the examination of Commission Exhibit No. 133-A in connection with this request of the Commission?
Mr. Shaneyfelt.
Yes; I did.
(Exhibits 20, 21 and 22 were marked and introduced. )
Mr. Redlich.
At this time, I would like to introduce into the record a copy of the Militant, which has been designated as Shaneyfelt Exhibit No. 20, and a copy of the Worker, which has been designated as Shaneyfelt Exhibit No. 21, a copy of a letter dated June 29, 1964 from J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI, to Mr. J. Lee Rankin, which is a discussion of the results of your investigation in connection with these two publications; and Shaneyfelt Exhibit No. 22.
I ask you to describe at this time by making reference to the exhibits which I
