Mr. Jenner. But up to the time that you arrived in Dallas, you were under the impression that he had had a more extensive part?
Mr. Weissman. This is what he led me to believe. In other words, he was trying to—he wanted to get me to Dallas in the worst way. And he wanted it to look like he was on the hot seat and he would be there unless I came down to help him. In other words, he is throwing my obligation at me. And trying to convince me in various ways, as I mentioned, to come down there, so we can get moving on what we had planned in Munich.
Mr. Jenner. Did you receive a letter from him dated October 29, 1963, a copy of which I have marked as Commission Exhibit No. 1032, and I tender to you. You may have the original among your papers.
(The document referred to was marked Commission Exhibit No. 1032 for identification.)
Mr. Weissman. Yes; I did receive this letter, Exhibit No. 1032, from Larrie, about the 29th of October.
Mr. Jenner. And, gentlemen of the Commission, this is a letter dated, as the witness has stated—it is addressed to, "Dear Bernie and Bill," and I assume Bill is——
Mr. Weissman. Bill Burley.
Mr. Jenner. He was then staying with you in New York?
Mr. Weissman. Right.
Mr. Jenner. And it is signed Larrie. By the way, do you have the original of this letter with you?
