Mr. Hubert. I think your signature, or, rather, a photostatic copy of your signature is on the front.
Mr. Sorrels. That is correct—on the front.
Mr. Hubert. That is the report that you submitted to your superiors?
Mr. Sorrels. In Washington.
Mr. Hubert. Which ultimately, of course, they sent. The report covers the events of November 24, is that right?
Mr. Sorrels. That is right.
Mr. Hubert. Do you know why it was filed on February 3?
Mr. Sorrels. Why it was written on February 3? I was instructed by Inspector Kelley to write up a memorandum on the interview that I had with Jack Ruby, shortly after Oswald was shot by Ruby, and also the interview that was had with Captain Fritz and Ruby at which I was present on the same date.
Mr. Hubert. When did you receive those instructions?
Mr. Sorrels. I cannot say exactly when I received them—probably within a day or two, or it could have been longer, because due to the press of other work and things arising out of the assassination, and its duties, the other duties, it was not written as soon as it should have been. And I may have been instructed some time before that to—as quick as I could to get the memorandum prepared.
