Mr. Senator. Yes.
Mr. Griffin. And I take it that in your mind this is a justification, this somehow is a justification or some assistance to Jack in his defense, the fact that he was interested in finding out about that advertisement and about the sign?
Mr. Senator. That’s right. He wanted to know the whys. He wanted to know why somebody would want to impeach him.
Mr. Griffin. Now is this a thought that has come to you after knowing, or after having talked with the attorneys and knowing what the strategy of the trial was going to be?
Mr. Senator. No.
Mr. Griffin. Talking with people?
Mr. Senator. No.
Mr. Griffin. Or is this something that you felt almost immediately, that this would be a justification?
Mr. Senator. I thought definitely in my own thinking that this was a justification, because when I was put on the witness stand for the bond hearing in early, I think it was, December, I am not sure just when it was, when I was questioned about that by Mr. Alexander, I told him that if anything this would be helping Jack, in wanting to know why something of this nature would want to be put out in Dallas. Why did the Dallas Daily Morning News want to accept an ad like this when the President was coming into town that day?
Mr. Griffin. When you went out with Jack, did Jack tell you at all what he was going to do with this information that he got?
