Mr. Griffin. Now is it possible that you could have told them this in the anxiety and turmoil that you were under at the time this interview took place?
Mr. Senator. I could probably say that anything at that time, that day, could be possible. Maybe I feel it isn’t, but let me say that I wasn’t in the best of condition that day. I would say anybody that was in the nature that I was in, and I don’t care who the individual was, would have been shaken up as well as I.
Mr. Griffin. I think again here now the record will reflect, and I want to go through and point these out as you are doing, but I think the record again here will reflect what is accurate as to what has actually happened.
Let’s let this thing stand, unless you are 100 percent sure that you didn’t say that, let’s let it stand on there as written. By “on there” I am referring to the Exhibit 5401.
Mr. Senator. Now here is a point:
“Shortly after Senator first met him, Ruby opened the Sovereign Club on the second floor of the building on the southeast corner of Field and Commerce in downtown Dallas.”
Now this was before I got to him.
Mr. Griffin. He was running the Sovereign Club before you met him?
Mr. Senator. He was in the Sovereign Club; yes. I don’t know how long he was in there, but he was in there before I came that close to him.
Mr. Griffin. But you had known Jack?
