Mr. Rankin. You think that might have been December 5 that they were drawn then?
Mr. Martin. Yes.
Mr. Rankin. Mr. Chairman, that is already in evidence.
Mr. Dulles. It has already been admitted.
Mr. Rankin. Yes.
Mr. Dulles. Mr. Rankin, we would like to have a short adjournment at 10:30. The members of the Commission would like to speak with you.
(Short recess.)
Mr. Dulles. The Commission will resume. Mr. Rankin, will you please continue with the examination?
Mr. Rankin. Mr. Martin, I have been asking you about some of your contractual and financial arrangements with Marina Oswald and also Mr. Thorne's and Robert Oswald's. If you and your counsel won't object I would like to depart from that because I would like to have this information developed when some of the members of the Commission are here who might not be at other times during your examination.
Mr. Martin. One thing Mr. Leech brought to my attention was that he thought maybe you might be under the impression that these contracts were all drawn on the same date, December 5. They weren't drawn on the same date. I think it was the 5th, 6th and 7th, or the 5th, 6th, and 9th. Robert's was drawn on the 9th, mine was drawn the 6th, and Mr. Thorne's was drawn the 5th.
