And then I felt that my family could be in danger, and I, myself, might be in danger. And since they already had the man for murder, that he wasn't going to be set free to escape and get out of the country immediately, and I could very easily sooner than the FBI or the Secret Service wanted me, my testimony in, I could very easily get in touch with them, if they didn't get in touch with me, and to see that the man didn't get loose.
Representative Ford. When you got home, about 3 o'clock, on November 22d, that is when you did get home——
Mr. Brennan. Yes.
Representative Ford. Was your wife there?
Mr. Brennan. Yes.
Representative Ford. Did you and your wife discuss any aspects of the assassination and your being present, more or less, at the scene of the assassination?
Mr. Brennan. Yes; we discussed it. We talked—I talked of moving her and my grandson, which was living with us at that time and my daughter—moving them out of town somewhere in secrecy.
Representative Ford. Why did you talk about moving your wife and your grandson out of town on this afternoon on November 22d?
Mr. Brennan. Because I had already more or less given a detailed description of the man, and I talked to the Secret Service and gave them my statement, and they had convinced me that it would be strictly confidential and all that. But still I felt like if I was the only eyewitness, that anything could happen to me or my family.
So that was just about the length of our discussion of it.
