Mr. Beers. “Beers did not know Ruby prior to the shooting, nor did he know Oswald ...” et cetera. This is contradictory to the first report that you just handed me a moment ago. Apparently the agent must have misunderstood me or misread his notes or something. I did know who Ruby was prior to this shooting.
Mr. Griffin. I wonder if you would want to make a change in ink in that sentence which would reflect accurately what you said, then initial the change that you make and date it?
Mr. Beers. Let me ask you a question here. Shall I say this sentence is contradictory to that report, or just change it to that I did know Ruby prior?
Mr. Griffin. Yes.
Mr. Beers. [Making change.] I have written here “I did know Ruby prior to the shooting, as stated to the FBI in report dated November 30, 1963, Exhibit 5350.” Would you like me to initial this?
Mr. Griffin. If you would, please, and then date it?
Mr. Beers. [Initialing.] This is April 14?
Mr. Griffin. Yes; are there any other additions or corrections?
Mr. Beers. So far as I can see, there are no further corrections.
Mr. Griffin. Okay. Well if we go along and something occurs to you, we can change it even further. Let me ask you, Mr. Beers, where were you at the time President Kennedy was shot?
