Marilyn Dorothea Murret, a witness, having been duly sworn by Mr. Wesley J. Liebeler to testify the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help her God, testified as follows:

Mr. Liebeler.

My name is Wesley J. Liebeler. I am a member of the legal staff of the President's Commission investigating the assassination of President Kennedy. The Commission has authorized staff members to take the testimony of witnesses pursuant to authority granted to it by Executive Order 11130, dated November 29, 1963, and Joint Resolution of Congress number 137.
I understand Mr. Rankin wrote you last week and told you that I would be in touch with you concerning the taking of your testimony, and I understand that he enclosed with his letter a copy of the Executive order to which I have just referred, as well as the copy of the Joint Resolution of Congress, and the rules of procedure adopted by the Commission governing the taking of testimony of witnesses, is that correct?
Miss MURRET. Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

You are technically entitled to 3-days' notice of this hearing under the Commission's rules. As I understand it, the Secret Service contacted you on Friday of last week. This may not actually be 3-days' notice, but you have the right to waive that notice. I presume that you are willing to do so, since you are here and willing to testify?
Miss MURRET. Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

The general nature of the Commission's inquiry is to ascertain, evaluate, and report upon the facts relating to the assassination of President Kennedy and to the subsequent death of Lee Harvey Oswald. We want to inquire of you as to any knowledge that you may have of the background of Lee Harvey Oswald, and as to any knowledge that you may have of his activities while he was here in New Orleans during the spring and summer of 1963.
Miss MURRET. Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Before we get into the details of your knowledge on those questions, would you please state your full name for the record?
Miss MURRET. Marilyn Dorothea Murret.

Mr. Liebeler.

Where do you live?
Miss MURRET. 757 French.

Mr. Liebeler.

Where were you born, Miss Murret?
Miss MURRET. New Orleans.

Mr. Liebeler.

Have you lived all of your life here in New Orleans?
Miss MURRET. Well, except for the time I traveled and I lived 2 years in St. Louis.

Mr. Liebeler.

Well, would you give us a brief run-down of your educational background.
Miss MURRET. Well, from elementary on?

Mr. Liebeler.

Mr. Liebeler.

What degrees do you hold from these schools which you have mentioned?
