Mr. Senator. Oh, the only time I saw Jack is when I ever met him anywheres, if I should run across him anywheres, or once in a while I would go up to his club, that was all, and it has never been anything but that up until that time.
Mr. Griffin. Who did you see more frequently or on a more social basis?
Mr. Senator. Actually I couldn’t see him frequently. Before that I was traveling. See, I was traveling. I wasn’t home every weekend. There were times when I was traveling, there were times I might miss a week from coming home. It all depends on the location you are—if you are too far from home. Then other times I might be gone two or three. It all depends, you know.
Mr. Griffin. What I want to get some idea of is up until this period that you moved in with Jack in 1962, who were the people that you saw on a social basis?
Mr. Senator. Well, I have seen Bill Downey. What I want to impress you, these people I don’t see every day, or like, you know, say I see them today, tomorrow, the next day, and things like that. On rare occasions I saw Don Taber. That time on rare occasions I saw Jim Martin. These were all rare, mind you, then. See, I did more meeting. I met a lot of people at the Burgundy Room most of the time. In other words, somebody has a favorite hangout.
Mr. Griffin. And that Burgundy Room was yours?
Mr. Senator. This is mine.
Mr. Griffin. For how long has it been your favorite hangout?
Mr. Senator. Ever since I came to Dallas.
Mr. Griffin. This is a place you would go almost every day?
