Mrs. Pitts, my name is Leon Hubert.
Mrs. Pitts. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. I am a member of the advisory staff of the General Counsel for the President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy.
Mrs. Pitts. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Under the provisions of Executive Order 11130, dated November 29, issued by President Johnson——
Mrs. Pitts. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. And by a Joint Resolution of Congress No. 137, and the rules of procedure adopted by the President’s Commission in conformance with the Executive order and the joint resolution, I have been authorized to take the sworn deposition from you today.
I say to you that the general nature of the Commission’s inquiry is to ascertain, evaluate, and report upon the facts relating to the assassination of President Kennedy and to the subsequent violent death of Lee Harvey Oswald. And in particular, as to you, Mrs. Pitts, the nature of the inquiry today is to determine what facts that you know about the death of Oswald and any other pertinent facts you may know about the general inquiry, particularly those facts concerning Jack Ruby.
Mrs. Pitts. Yes, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Now, I think you are appearing here as a result of a letter sent to you by J. Lee Rankin?
