(Testimony of Lt. Jack Revill)

And she was to, this is what I mentioned earlier the time element, she was to, she got off at 4 o'clock and this was before she went home for the day.

Mr. Dulles.
This is on November 22 you are talking about?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Dulles.
Did you sign it on November 22 or at a later date?
Mr. Revill.
The same time.
Mr. Dulles.
But you swore to it on the 7th day of April 1964?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Dulles.
You swore that was your signature?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir; at the time I was hoping it would never come up.
Mr. Rankin.
Why?
Mr. Revill.
Because of the relations that we had with the Bureau.
Mr. Rankin.
You thought this was a bad thing for the Bureau?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir; I did.
Mr. Rankin.
For them to admit to you that they knew----
Mr. Revill.
Not the admitting but to withhold it.
Mr. Rankin.
To withhold the information?
Mr. Revill.
Yes.
Mr. Rankin.
They thought this man was capable of being an assassin?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Rankin.
And yet you say that Agent Hosty just blurted that out?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir; he did.
Mr. Rankin.
Have you told us all that you remember about it?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir; all that I remember.
Mr. Rankin.
Did you make this----
Mr. Dulles.
Could I ask a question that comes right along with that? Did he say anything to you about his having been in Russia and redefected?
Mr. Revill.
No, sir.
Mr. Dulles.
That did not come up in this conversation?
Mr.REVILL. No, sir.
Mr.RANKIN. Did you ask him how he knew he was a Communist?
Mr.REVILL. No, sir; I did not.
Mr. Dulles.
Why not?
Mr.REVILL. I don't know.
Representative Ford.
In the statement that you gave on November 22 which you have signed, you say?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir.
Representative Ford.
"The subject was arrested for the murder of J.D. Tippit and is a prime suspect in the assassination of President Kennedy."
Mr. Revill.
This I found out after reporting to my office, I didn't know what time this happened.
Representative Ford.
In other words, you learned this subsequent to going with Hosty?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir.
Representative Ford.
And then coming back to your own office?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir; some of the officers assigned to the Special Service Bureau on--were involved in the arrest, Detectives Carroll and I talked to Agent Bob Barrett, I ran into him in the hall and he had told me about the arrest of Oswald. I think he was present at the time.
Representative Ford.
That is how you learned about this?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Dulles.
At what time of day did you make this actual statement and sign it approximately?
Mr. Revill.
Approximately 3:30, 3:35.
Mr. Dulles.
3:35 on the 22d of November?
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Dulles.
This is the actual statement that you then signed and then you swore to it, and the notary's signature was put on on the 22d of April?
Mr. Revill.
No, sir; the notary's was on April 7, I believe.
Mr. Dulles.
7th day of April, I mean, 7th day of April.
Mr. Revill.
Yes, sir; but this is the report that I signed on the 22d.
Mr. Dulles.
This is the actual report that you signed on the 22d?
