Mr. Liebeler. As I understand it now, there were this marine, Lee Oswald, and Carlos, and Vance Blalock and yourself. Is that right?
Mr. Geraci. Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler. Was there anybody else there?
Mr. Geraci. Well, while we were talking, this man came up. He was in a big truck, some big truck. I never looked at it closely.
