Mr. Stovall. I have been in this department since approximately August 15, 1962—about 18 months, I guess.

Mr. Ball. What do you call your department of the Detective Bureau?

Mr. Stovall. It's Homicide-Robbery Bureau.

Mr. Ball. Do you work under Captain Fritz?

Mr. Stovall. Yes, sir.

Mr. Ball. On November 22, 1963, had you been assigned a special duty, in view of the President's visit to Dallas?

Mr. Stovall. Yes, sir; I had—after I got to work.

Mr. Ball. At what time was that?

Mr. Stovall. It was around 2 o'clock—I was watching television that morning and heard the deal on television.

Mr. Ball. You were not on duty at the time the President was shot?
