I state to you now, Mr. Priddy, that the nature of the inquiry is to determine the facts you know about the death of Oswald and any other facts you may know about the general inquiry. In particular the ambulance call at the O’Neal Funeral Home. Now, you have appeared here today by virtue of a general request made by Mr. J. Lee Rankin, General Counsel for the President’s Commission, addressed to the O’Neal Funeral Home, and asked them to produce certain documents and witnesses relevant to those documents and other matters, I take it that you have not, yourself, received a copy of that letter?
Mr. Priddy. No, sir.
Mr. Hubert. Let me say that under the rules of the Commission, any witnesses—any witness is entitled to a 3-day written notice prior to the taking of his deposition, but the rules also provide that a witness may also waive the 3-day notice if he sees fit, and I ask you now if you are willing to waive the 3-day notice?
Mr. Priddy. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Will you stand and be sworn. Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Mr. Priddy. I do.
Mr. Hubert. Will you please state your full name?
Mr. Priddy. Hal Arthur Priddy, Jr.
Mr. Hubert. Your age?
Mr. Priddy. Twenty-five.
