Mr. Jenner.

You made application together, did you?

Mr. Weissman.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And you were both employed at approximately the same time?

Mr. Weissman.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

But he left the carpet company before you did?

Mr. Weissman.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

And I understand you attended a sales meeting at the carpet company the morning of the 22d.

Mr. Weissman.

That is right.

Mr. Jenner.

When did that sales meeting break up?

Mr. Weissman.

12:30 for me. It was still going when I left. I left at 12:30 because I had this afternoon appointment, and also this meeting with Larrie. I had talked to the sales manager after that. I had----

Mr. Jenner.

What was his name?

Mr. Weissman.

Frank Demaria. And I had asked him if he had been questioned at all by the FBI. He said yes, they had been around. And I said, "What did you tell them?" And he mentioned at that time, he says, "We thought you had left about 12 o'clock." And I said, "What are you trying to do?"
And, anyway, this is the way it went. But I know I left at 12:30. They were embroiled in a big discussion, and they were not cognizant of the time. I was.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. Now, would you tell us what you did on the 24th?

Mr. Weissman.

Went to pick up the mail in the morning, went back to the apartment.

Mr. Jenner.

You picked up mail in the morning on Sunday?

Mr. Weissman.

That is right, the post office was open Sunday morning.

Mr. Jenner.

You went to the post office on the 23d, which is Saturday, and you also returned----

Mr. Weissman.

No; I didn't go to the post office on Saturday the 23d.

Mr. Jenner.

I .misunderstood you, then.

Mr. Weissman.

No; I am almost positive it was Sunday morning. I know it wasn't Saturday. I am positive almost. positive it was Sunday morning.

Mr. Dulles.

That is when you picked up the 50-odd letters you referred to?

Mr. Weissman.

Right.

Mr. Jenner.

It was the day that you heard that Ruby had shot Oswald, was it?

Mr. Weissman.

I am getting a little confused now. I think I might be 1 day----

Mr. Jenner.

See if we can orient you. The assassination of the President occurred on the 22d of November 1963, which is a Friday.

Mr. Weissman.

Right.

Mr. Jenner.

Then .there was Saturday. Then on Sunday the 24th occurred the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby.

Mr. Weissman.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, with those events in mind, when did you go to the post office box?

Mr. Weissman.

Well, now, I knew it was not Monday. Now, I am back in perspective. I am almost definitely sure it was Sunday morning.

Mr. Jenner.

You said earlier that it was Saturday. You said it was the day after the ad appeared, that night and you went the next day.

Mr. Weissman.

No; couldn't have.

Mr. Jenner.

That was an error?

Mr. Weissman.

That was a.n error; yes. It was Sunday.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. New, on further reflection, your recollection is reasonably firm now that you did go to the post office box on Sunday rather than Saturday?

Mr. Weissman.

I am almost positive it was Sunday morning.

Mr. Jenner.

You are equally positive it was not Monday?

Mr. Weissman.

It might either be---I remembered there was an awful lot of traffic. And I don't know if the traffic was because every was driving through downtown to go around the Houston viaduct to see the scene of the assassination or what. And this is what is confusing me now. That is why I
