Mr. Herndon. Mr. Specter, do you want to answer that?
Mr. Specter. Yes; Mr. Ruby, he is here at the request of Mr. Tonahill, and I believe concurred in, by your chief counsel, Mr. Fowler.
Mr. Herndon. The reason I asked you about your health, Mr. Ruby, obviously I don’t want to proceed with this interrogation of the polygraph type when you obviously may not feel well physically today. I wouldn’t want to subject you to the examination unless you felt well enough to take it, and I will ask you some very general questions about your health in regard to your history in that regard.
Have you every had any respiratory diseases or illnesses such as asthma or trouble with breathing, Mr. Ruby?
Mr. Ruby. None whatever.
Mr. Herndon. Any sinus condition or trouble?
Mr. Ruby. No.
Mr. Herndon. Have you ever had any heart ailments?
Mr. Ruby. No, sir.
Mr. Herndon. No heart trouble to your knowledge.
