Mr. Jenner. You separated, as you have indicated. Now, would you start from the Army?
Before I get to that, you met Larrie Schmidt in the Army?
Mr. Weissman. Yes; I did.
Mr. Jenner. What other buddies did you have in the Army with whom you again renewed your acquaintance when you were discharged from the Army and went to Dallas?
Mr. Weissman. Only one beside Larrie. That was Bill Burley. William Burley.
Mr. Jenner. What contact did you have with Mr. Larrie Schmidt and Mr. Burley after you left the Army, which eventually brought you to Dallas? State it in your own words and chronologically, please.
Mr. Weissman. Well, I got out of service on the 5th, and I spent the month of August looking for a job. During this time, I had been in contact with Larrie. I had telephoned him once during August. Things were pretty bad. I didn't have any money. As far as I could ascertain he was broke himself. There wasn't any percentage in going to Dallas and not accomplishing anything. As a matter of fact, I had lost a good deal of confidence in Larrie in the year that he left Munich and was in Dallas, and the letters I got from him—he seemed to have deviated from our original plan. I wasn't too hot about going. He didn't seem to be accomplishing anything, except where it benefited him.
Mr. Jenner. You say he deviated from the original plan. What was the original plan?
Mr. Weissman. Well, the original plan was to stay away from various organizations and societies that were, let's call them, radical, and had a reputation as being such.
Mr. Jenner. When you say radical, what do you mean?
