Mr. Wade. I knew none of them, none of the Ruby family, and didn't know Jack Ruby. I think he claims that he had known me or something or other but if he had, it is one of those things where you see somebody and I didn't know his name or anything when I saw him that night or didn't know who he was. I thought he was a member of the press, actually.
Mr. Rankin. Did it come to your attention that there was some claim that Oswald was an agent of one of the intelligence agencies of Government?
Mr. Wade. I heard that talk down there. It was talk some——
Mr. Rankin. Do you know who was talking that?
Mr. Wade. I don't know. I have been up here once before, and some of the press were—I don't remember, some of the press mentioned that they had two voucher numbers in his book there that indicated he was working for the FBI or the CIA. I know nothing about them, don't think anybody in my office does. I think maybe Alexander mentioned it some, but Alexander is not a great lover of the FBI. They fuss all the time openly, so I don't know. I know nothing about it myself because I never have seen the book and I don't know whether they have even got any numbers in there but they were supposed to have two numbers in there as a voucher number of $200 from some Government agency but like I say, supposed to.
I never saw it and heard it, talk, but I am sure you all know more about it than I do.
Mr. Dulles. By voucher you mean an entry or something of that kind, what kind of a voucher?
Mr. Wade. I think it was called a voucher number, it was voucher 209, which doesn't make sense. I believe it was a low number. It doesn't make sense for a government to have a voucher number that low.
Mr. Rankin. What book are you referring to?
Mr. Wade. The little black book that Oswald had in his possession at the time he was arrested.
