Mr. Liebeler. I don't think we have to indicate a great deal of your background for the record, since I think we all know who you are, but you are a retired major general, are you not?
General Walker. No. I am former major general, now resigned from the U.S. Army.
Mr. Liebeler. You resigned from the Army. Where were you originally born and raised, general?
General Walker. At Center Point, Tex. I was born in 1909, November 10. Center Point is Kerr County. It is C-e-n-t-e-r P-o-i-n-t, Kerr County, Tex. That is 60 miles west of San Antonio.
Mr. Liebeler. Since your resignation from the Army and your taking up residence in Dallas, you have been active, have you not, in various political endeavors here in Dallas and throughout the United States?
General Walker. Patriotic and political endeavors.
Mr. Liebeler. It is my understanding that on the evening of April 10, 1963, some person fired a shot at you while you were in your home on Turtle Creek Boulevard; is that correct?
General Walker. That is correct.
Mr. Liebeler. Would you tell us the circumstances surrounding that event, as you can now recall them?
General Walker. I was sitting behind my desk. It was right at 9 o'clock, and most of the lights were on in the house and the shades were up. I was sitting down behind a desk facing out from a corner, with my head over a pencil and paper working on my income tax when I heard a blast and a crack right over my head.
