Mr. Griffin. What was that?
Mr. Senator. This is what they call—what do they call the little thing? It is a little twistaboard. It is a little square twistaboard, and you get on it and it moves around like this.
Mr. Griffin. It is a weight reducer, like?
Mr. Senator. Yes; a twister.
Mr. Griffin. Now, how long had Jack Ruby been promoting this twistboard?
Mr. Senator. It never came to the promotion part. I would assume that he fooled around with it for about a month, I guess, something like that, as a rough guess. In other words, he was going to buy them. I think somebody was going to make them for him, and he was going to try and sell them.
Mr. Griffin. And for a month, what would this month cover, from the 1st of November to the time that he shot Oswald, or before the 1st of November?
Mr. Senator. No; it was either September or October, somewheres in there. I will have to take it to the extension of these 2 months.
Mr. Griffin. Did it fall through somewhere along the line? Did he lose interest in it, or something?
Mr. Senator. It never materialized. In other words, look, he had competition because there was one already out.
