(Testimony of George A. Bouhe)

Mr. Liebeler.
if you recognize this man or these men. [Commission Exhibits 451, 453-456, WJL.]
First of all, does it appear to you that they are all pictures of the same man?
Mr. Bouhe.
If I saw him, it must be in my dreams. I don't remember seeing that man.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you observe any resemblance between these pictures and Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. Bouhe.
I would say no. Am I wrong?
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you have anything else now, Mr. Bouhe, that you think that we should know in connection with this matter before we terminate. I think we ought to know before we finish?
Let me ask you one more question. Did Oswald drink, as far as you know?
Mr. Bouhe.
Drink?
Mr. Bouhe.
He took one vodka in my house, and he probably took a couple of drinks at Katya Ford's house. I think that I saw him with a glass, but do not know if it was ginger ale.
Mr. Liebeler.
He was not a strong drinker?
Mr. Bouhe.
Never saw or heard or smelled.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do you have anything else that you want to call to our attention that you think would help us in this matter?
Let me say this, we are going to be here in Dallas for the next 2 or 3 days. Why don't you think over your testimony, and if you have anything else that you want to tell us that you think we should know, you get in touch with us, and we will make arrangements to talk to you about it at that time.
Mr. Bouhe.
Yes.
Mr. Liebeler.
Is there anything that occurs to you now?
Mr. Bouhe.
I cannot think of anything.
Mr. Liebeler.
If you think of it in the next 2 days, you call the U.S. attorney's office and we will make arrangements.
Mr. Bouhe.
Is that Mr. Sanders?
Mr. Liebeler.
Yes.
Mr. Bouhe.
I talked incessantly today.
Mr. Liebeler.
In view of the fact that Mr. Bouhe has nothing that he can think of at this point and in view of the fact that I have no further questions, I would like to terminate the examination at this time with the final question of you, Mr. Bouhe, as to whether there is anything we have talked about here that has not been taken down by the court reporter, that we have not subsequently put on the record for the benefit of the record that you think ought to be on the record? In other words, in our conversation here today we have discussed a couple of matters off the record, and I ask you now, isn't it a fact that everything we discussed off the record we subsequently discussed while the reporter was writing?
Mr. Bouhe.
Absolutely; after the clarification was obtained. But I must say I am a quick thinking man and fast talking, but at this moment I cannot think of anything. But as usual, I will go out and lie down and will think of something, so don't hold it against me.
Mr. Liebeler.
You will think of something that we have not discussed?
Mr. Bouhe.
Because I have seen 11 FBI agents and 3 from the Secret Service, of which 2 were speaking Russian, or were natives of Russia, and I--by the way, where do I go out? Will the name unfortunately appear in the paper?
Mr. Liebeler.
No; not as far as we know. You don't want any publicity?
Mr. Bouhe.
I tell you, I certainly don't want any publicity. Too, I am fearful, because you probably heard about this--is this on the record?
Mr. Liebeler.
Yes; go ahead.
Mr. Bouhe.
This is Dallas, and you know there is a lot of shootings going on, and as I read in the paper at the time Oswald was being captured at the Texas Theatre, some mob was assembling and they were holding him out there, and screaming, "Kill the Republicans," and you can see the ----
Mr. Liebeler.
We will see to it that your name is not mentioned in connection with the affair. At this point I think we can terminate.

Anna N. Meller
