Mr. Stuckey. A platter, a disc.
Mr. Jenner. I suppose a tape is easier to preserve. A hundred years from now this tape would be just as true as it is today, that is assuming it is kept under good conditions, whereas a platter might deteriorate.
Mr. Stuckey. That is true.
Mr. Jenner. So I think we had better have the tape.
Mr. Stuckey. The disc would start decomposing after about the 25th time you played them, and also they get scratched and such. But one thing is you can't erase a record and you can erase a tape. That is the kind of nightmares you have with a tape. I was afraid to have a copy made of that thing for a long time just out of fear somebody might make a mistake and it would be erased.
Mr. Jenner. You have insured against that by your disk, a platter?
Mr. Stuckey. That is correct.
Mr. Jenner. Mr. Stuckey, was a recording made on audio tape of the 37-minute interview that you had with Mr. Oswald on Monday, the 17th of August?
Mr. Stuckey. Yes; I have made one record which is strictly for my own use.
Mr. Jenner. You say you made it?
