Mr. Liebeler. My name is Wesley J. Liebeler. I believe Mr. Rankin mentioned in the letter he sent to you last week that I would contact you this week to take your testimony.
The Commission has authorized me to take your testimony pursuant to authority granted by Executive Order 11130, dated November 29, 1963, and Joint Resolution of Congress 137.
Copies of those documents have been sent to you as well as a copy of the Commission's rules of procedure in the taking of testimony. You did receive those, did you not?
Mr. Ballen. Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler. We want to ask you about your somewhat limited contacts with Lee Harvey Oswald, and also inquire to some extent about your association with George De Mohrenschildt.
Will you state your full name?
Mr. Ballen. Samuel B. Ballen.
Mr. Liebeler. What is your address?
Mr. Ballen. 8715 Midway Road.
Mr. Liebeler. In Dallas?
