Mr. Ball. You were asked to come here by your——
Mr. White. Captain.
Mr. Ball. Which captain?
Mr. White. Lawrence.
Mr. Ball. Now, the Commission was established to investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy. We want to ask you some questions about information that you might have that might aid us in that investigation.
I am a Staff officer of the Commission named Ball. Joseph A. Ball. I am authorized to administer the oath to you, to make this inquiry. During the course of our investigation in Dallas we discovered that you and the man that you were working with that day, Mr. J. W. Foster, knew of some facts that might aid us in the investigation. We asked Chief Curry if we could have you come up here and testify, and I guess that is the reason you are here.
You are willing to testify, are you not?
Mr. White. Yes, sir.
Mr. Ball. Tell us whatever you know about it.
