Mr. Ely. Would you stand, please?
Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. Donovan. I do.
Mr. Ely. Please be seated. My name is John Ely.
The gentleman directly to my right is Richard Mosk. We are both members of the staff of the President's Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, which was appointed by President Johnson to investigate all the facts and circumstances surrounding the death of President Kennedy.
The rules of the Commission require that I give to you a copy of the Executive Order No. 11130, which is the President's order creating this Commission, a copy of the Joint Resolution of Congress, and a copy of the Commission's rules which relate to the questioning of witnesses.
Is it correct to say that I have given you a copy of each of these documents?
Mr. Donovan. You gave them to me, and I gave them a cursory reading.
Mr. Ely. Would you state your full name, please?
Mr. Donovan. John E. Donovan.
