But that is his business. He showed me that, and I read it. Now, as far as identifying it, I have seen—I have a copy of it in my files.
You see, when they turned the records over to me and I read it and looked it over and to the best of my knowledge was the same memorandum he showed me, although all I did was glance at it and it said generally they knew something about him and knew he was in town or something like that.
Senator Cooper. Who said that?
Mr. Wade. This memorandum said that.
Senator Cooper. Who is reported to be quoting the memorandum?
Mr. Wade. Special Agent Hosty. Now, I have since looked at the memorandum. So far as I know it is the same memorandum, but like I say I read it there and I don't know whether it is the—I don't know whether it said word for word to be the same thing but it appears to me to my best knowledge to be the same memorandum.
Mr. Rankin. Do you know when you first got the memorandum in your files that you are referring to?
Mr. Wade. It was a month later. You see the police gave me a record of everything on the Ruby case, I would say some time about Christmas.
Mr. Rankin. I will hand you Commission Exhibit No. 709 and ask you if that is the memorandum you just referred to?
Mr. Wade. Yes; to the best of my knowledge that is the memorandum he showed me there at 7 p.m. on the 22d day of November 1963.
