The testimony of Martin Isaacs was taken on April 16, 1964, at the U.S. courthouse, Foley Square, New York, N.Y. by Mr. Wesley J. Liebeler, assistant counsel of the President's Commission.
Martin Isaacs, having been first duly sworn, was examined and testified as follows:
Mr. Liebeler. My name is Wesley J. Liebeler. I am an attorney on the legal staff of the President's Commission investigating the assassination of President Kennedy. Staff members have been authorized to take the testimony of witnesses by the Commission pursuant to authority granted to the Commission by Executive Order No. 11130, dated November 29, 1963, and Joint Resolution of Congress No. 137.
The Commission has also established rules of procedure governing the taking of testimony from witnesses, and under those rules of procedure each witness is to be furnished with a copy of the Executive order and joint resolution to which I referred, as well as with a copy of the rules governing the taking of testimony.
The Commission will provide you with a set of those documents.
Under the rules governing the taking of testimony, each witness is entitled to 3 days' notice before he is required to appear and give testimony. I don't know whether you actually received 3 days' notice or not, but——
Mr. Isaacs. They told me yesterday about it. It's quite all right.
Mr. Liebeler. Each witness is able to waive that notice, and I presume that you do wish to waive it.
Mr. Isaacs. I waive, yes.
Mr. Liebeler. Thank you, sir.
