Mr. Ruby. Very powerful.
Chief Justice Warren. I think it is powerful, yes I do. Of course, I don't have all the information that you feel you have on that subject.
Mr. Ruby. Unfortunately, you don't have, because it is too late. And I wish that our beloved President, Lyndon Johnson, would have delved deeper into the situation, hear me, not to accept just circumstantial facts about my guilt or innocence, and would have questioned to find out the truth about me before he relinquished certain powers to these certain people.
Chief Justice Warren. Well, I am afraid I don't know what power you believe he relinquished to them. I think that it is difficult to understand what you have to say.
Mr. Ruby. I want to say this to you. The Jewish people are being exterminated at this moment. Consequently, a whole new form of government is going to take over our country, and I know I won't live to see you another time.
Do I sound sort of screwy in telling you these things?
Chief Justice Warren. No; I think that is what you believe, or you wouldn't tell it under your oath.
Mr. Ruby. But it is a very serious situation. I guess it is too late to stop it, isn't it?
All right, I want to ask you this. All you men have been chosen by the President for this committee, is that correct?
Chief Justice Warren. Representative Ford and I are the only members of the Commission that are here.
