Mr. Jenner. Do you understand from those documents, Mrs. Peterman, that the Commission is directed by the President to investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy?

Mrs. Peterman. Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner. In that connection, we of the Commission's legal staff, in addition to presenting evidence before the Commission itself, are deposing various people around the country whose lives came into contact with Lee Harvey Oswald and with other individuals involved, or possibly involved, in the assassination, and we understand that you have some information that might be helpful to us; is that right, Mrs. Peterman?

Mrs. Peterman. Well, I can only tell you what I know.

Mr. Jenner. That's all we ask, Mrs. Peterman. First, let me ask, are you a native of this part of the country?

Mrs. Peterman. Yes; New Orleans, La.

Mr. Jenner. You were born here?

Mrs. Peterman. Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner. And was your husband likewise born here?

Mrs. Peterman. Yes.
