Mrs. Rich. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. You say you never saw him out of uniform? All of the times you saw him he was in uniform?
Mrs. Rich. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. Summer uniform?
Mrs. Rich. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. So at that meeting it came out that the project had two purposes. One was to bring arms in, and the other was to take refuges out.
Mrs. Rich. Yes; to make money both ways. Then it became crystal clear why so much money was to be paid for the pilot of the boat.
Mr. Hubert. And how was that meeting left?
Mrs. Rich. Well, at that time when he said that, my first thought was “Nancy, get out of here, this is no good, this stinks.” I have no qualms about making money, but not when it is against the Federal Government but let’s play along and see what happens. I said, “All right, we will go. But you can take the $10,000 and keep it. I want $25,000 or we don’t move.” It was left that the bigwigs would decide among themselves. During this meeting I had the shock of my life. Apparently they were having some hitch in money arriving. No one actually said that that was what it was. But this is what I presumed it to be. I am sitting there. A knock comes on the door and who walks in but my little friend Jack Ruby. And you could have knocked me over with a feather.
Mr. Hubert. That was at the second meeting?
