Mr. Baker. I do, sir.
The Chairman. You may be seated. I will read a little short brief statement to you, Mr. Baker, which will indicate the purpose of our meeting today.
The purpose of today's hearing is to hear the testimony of M. L. Baker, Mrs. R. A. Reid, Eugene Boone, Luke Mooney, and M. N. McDonald. Officer Baker and Mrs. Reid were in the vicinity of the Texas School Book Depository Building at the time of the assassination.
Deputy Sheriffs Boone and Mooney assisted in the search of the sixth floor of the Texas School Depository Building shortly after the assassination and Officer McDonald apprehended Lee Harvey Oswald at the Texas theater.
I read this to you just so you will know the general nature of the inquiry we are making today and we will make of you.
Mr. Belin will conduct the examination.
Mr. Belin. Officer Baker, would you state your legal name, please for the Commission?
Mr. Baker. Marrion L. Baker.

Mr. Baker. That is right, sir.
