Mr. Senator. No; I was sitting. I was sitting. I wasn’t walking in the door. I was down on the seat and already had my first cup of coffee.
Mr. Griffin. Also, one gets the impression from the FBI interview it was your recollection on November 24 that you called Jim Martin after you learned that Jack Ruby had shot Oswald.
Mr. Senator. No; before.
Mr. Griffin. It was before you learned that?
Mr. Senator. Right. I called him—wait, wait. No; that is right. I did. But I wasn’t home. That was it. I called him and spoke to his daughter, one of his little girls.
Mr. Griffin. And that was before you learned that Ruby——
Mr. Senator. Yes. When I heard that Oswald was shot, but nothing mentioned. There was no name or no club mentioned, Oswald was shot—that is when I called him.
Mr. Griffin. Directing your attention to the FBI’s report on November 24, that you said you learned that Oswald was shot just as you walked in the door.
Mr. Senator. No.
Mr. Griffin. What makes you now remember that you were seated and had a cup of coffee whereas apparently you didn’t remember that on November 24?
