Mr. Zapruder. I received $25,000, as you know, and I have given that to the Firemen's and Policemen's Benevolence with a suggestion for Mrs. Tippit. You know that?
Mr. Liebeler. I don't know that—you received $25,000?
Mr. Zapruder. $25,000 was paid and I have given it to the Firemen's and Policemen's Fund.
Mr. Liebeler. You gave the whole $25,000?
Mr. Zapruder. Yes. This was all over the world. I got letters from all over the world and newspapers—I mean letters from all over the world. It was all over the world—I am surprised—that you don't know it—I don't like to talk about it too much.
Mr. Liebeler. We appreciate your answer very much.
Mr. Zapruder. I haven't done anything, the way I have given it, at a time like this.
Mr. Liebeler. I want to tell you, you may not be aware of it yourself, but I want to tell you that your film has been one of the most helpful things to the work of the Commission that we could possibly have had because it has enabled us to study the various positions of the people in the car and to determine by comparing it with the reenactment—by comparing it to the view from the window of the building, to develop with a fair degree of accuracy the facts here.
Mr. Zapruder. I understand—and I am willing to be helpful but I am sorry it had to be on an occasion like this. I am willing to be helpful but I wish this would never have happened.
Mr. Liebeler. Yes; that's right.
