Mr. Specter. Yes; that is agreeable, if you desire to do just that.
Mr. Fowler. Further, let’s add this, Joe, that in whatever capacity or degree it would help to substantiate that in our opinion we believe that Jack Ruby is of unsound mind.
We would like to submit at a later date a report by Dr. Emanuel Tanay, a practicing psychiatrist in Detroit, Mich., a report by him based upon the examination of Jack Ruby, together with the report of Dr. West, and we would respectfully request that this matter be furnished to you at a later date. We have it available but not for today, and we would like to make it a part of this record, as suggested by counsel.
Mr. Specter. Mr. Fowler, the Commission will be glad to receive any evidence that you may wish to submit on all the questions which you have raised during the course of this proceeding.
Mr. Tonahill. Whoever is in charge of his body ought not to be an expert on this thing [referring and indicating the polygraph machine].
Mr. Fowler. You and I have done all we can do on it. I am not going to physically manhandle Jack Ruby.
Mr. Tonahill. No; Jack Ruby is going to insist on doing it, and until he is declared a ward through an insanity proceedings, he is presumed to be able to exercise his own consent.
Mr. Fowler. That’s right.
Mr. Specter. Let us discuss this off the record a moment.
(Discussion between Mr. Specter and Messrs. Tonahill and Fowler off the record regarding presence in the room of anyone able to operate a polygraph machine other than the FBI operator, Mr. Herndon.)
