Mr. Liebeler. Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you are about to give here will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mrs. Ray. I do.
Mr. Liebeler. My name is Wesley J. Liebeler. I am a member of 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 11130 dated November 29, 1963, and Joint Resolution of Congress No. 137.
I believe Mr. Rankin sent you a letter last week?
Mrs. Ray. Yes; and I read it and have your name, too.
Mr. Liebeler. He sent with that letter copies of the Executive order and the joint resolution as well as copies of the rules and procedure governing the taking of testimony of witnesses. Did you receive that letter and copies of such documents?
Mrs. Ray. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. Mr. Ray previously mentioned that the letter was routed to the wrong post office box and you did not get it until Sunday.
Mrs. Ray. Monday.
Mr. Liebeler. Under the rules of the Commission each witness is entitled to 3 days' notice before he has to testify and I suppose technically since you did not get the letter until Monday you do not have to testify today or you can waive that notice, and I presume you are willing to go ahead with the questioning at this time; is that correct?
